A Performance Analysis on Channel Encoding Techniques to be used in a Digital Communications System

5G is the latest technology available for consumers. This technology is the successor to the famous 4G LTE mobile network and possesses improved features from the previous generation networks. This upgrade has enabled innovations such as vehicular automation to utilise the capabilities of 5G. One important aspect of information transmission is the correctness of the data received by the system. This is doubly important for vehicular automation as an error or mistake in the transmission of data may lead to accidents. As such, this study will look into the performance of different channel coding techniques of a simple digital communications system and evaluate the BER and PAPR of the system.
