monteCarloMI(rx, tx, M, constType, px=None)

Monte Carlo based mutual information (MI) estimation.

Parameters:

• rx (np.array) – Received symbol sequence.

• tx (np.array) – Transmitted symbol sequence.

• M (int) – Modulation order.

• constType (string) – Modulation type: ‘qam’ or ‘psk’

• px ((M, 1) np.array) – p.m.f. of the constellation symbols. The default is [].

Returns:

MI – Estimated MI values.

Return type:

np.array
