“…Additionally, GPU-aided computing was achieved using the CuPy library [79], which has the same functions as NumPy and which fully exploits the Nvidia CUDA toolkit. The conventional algorithms introduced in Sections III-A and III-B were implemented with the C++ language and IT++ library [59], where these implementations were optimized based on the OpenMP parallelism.

This paper presents a proposal of an open-source index modulation (IM) toolkit, which facilitates reproducible research and accelerates open innovation in IM studies. The proposed toolkit is implemented based on massively parallel algorithms that are designed for state-of-the-art graphics processing units (GPUs). Since high-performance GPUs are available at low cost, along with the intensive development in deep learning, this toolkit achieves large scale but significantly fast Monte Carlo simulations at low cost. Two large-tensor-based parallel algorithms are introduced for bit error ratio and average mutual information simulations. Additionally, the design of active indices is newly formulated into an integer linear programming problem that guarantees optimality, which is applicable to the generalized spatial modulation and subcarrier-index modulation schemes. Performance comparisons demonstrated that the proposed GPU-aided algorithms were up to 145 times faster than the conventional CPU-aided efficient counterparts. Furthermore, the designed active indices achieved the theoretical optimum performance in contrast to widely used conventional methods. A comprehensive database of these designed active indices is released online and is available to any researcher.

“…However, its GSM implementation is based on a simple combinatorial design, which limits the achievable performance. Lima et al released the IT++ library [59], an open-source C++ library for wireless communications, which has Matlab-like functions. This is the most advanced open-source library in this field.…”

A single-user link-level High-Speed Packet Access Uplink (HSPA UL) static simulation tool is described in this paper. All transport channel processing and spreading/modulation steps are implemented together with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) radio channel. The focus is on the simulation of the data channel, although the effects of the control channel are taken into account. The Block Error Rate (BLER) is provided by the simulator. Furthermore, an Average Value Interface (AVI)-like Link-to-System (L2S) interface is suggested. The L2S interface framework is improved with the introduction of Interference Reduction Factor (IRF).

“…The interpreted nature of the language also makes the implementation of novel code constructions inefficient, unless one makes use of the MATLAB to C/C + + interface (which requires considerable technical skill). An alternative open‐source solution exists in the form of IT + + [6, 7], a library of mathematical, signal processing and communication system components. Although this library includes implementations of most current schemes, it is designed to be used by programmers, and the implementation of a system requires the user to write C + + code.…”

In this paper we present SimCommSys, a Simulator of Communication Systems that we are releasing under an open source license. The core of the project is a set of C++ libraries defining communication system components and a distributed Monte Carlo simulator. Of principal interest is the error-control coding component, where various kinds of binary and nonbinary codes are implemented, including turbo, LDPC, repeataccumulate, and Reed-Solomon. The project also contains a number of ready-to-build binaries implementing various stages of the communication system (such as the encoder and decoder), a complete simulator, and a system benchmark. Finally, Sim-CommSys also provides a number of shell and python scripts to encapsulate routine use cases. As long as the required components are already available in SimCommSys, the user may simulate complete communication systems of their own design without any additional programming. The strict separation of development (needed only to implement new components) and use (to simulate specific constructions) encourages reproducibility of experimental work and reduces the likelihood of error. Following an overview of the framework, we provide some examples of how to use the framework, including the implementation of a simple codec, the specification of communication systems and their simulation.
