code dependency

1. matlab communication toolbox

   • student licence of matlab does not include extra communication toolbox, please contact Brandon (rbrand7@vt.edu) for access to install department licenced matlab
   • for Mac OS user, follow steps below, and install version 2015b
     • Open Finder, open the Go menu and select Connect to Server.
     • In the Server Address input, type: smb://computing.ece.vt.edu/matlab
     • Log in with your ECE account creditials.
     • Run the install script: osx_VERSION.command

2. dimple

   • the toolbox for probabilistic modeling, inference, and learning.
   • install on matlab:
     • download source file version 0.07
     • in matlab prompt

           cd <Path -to -Dimple >
           startup
       

   • copy the missing .jar file at another hidden repository, to be exact, copy folder /solver/lib to the published one.
   • full manual: https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.dimple.probprog.org/DimpleUserManual_v0.07_MATLAB_API.pdf

run codes

1. setup matlab with toolbox
2. setup dimple
3. export external java path e.g. export MATLAB_JAVA=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/
4. launch matlab from terminal e.g. cd /Applications/MATLAB_R2015a.app/bin/, ./matlab
5. change path to working folder, in matlab prompt, start.m
6. run main code sim_cochannel_damp04_06_10.m

Appendix

1. matlab call java function
   Matlab support call external java function. e.g. hello word tutorial

2. version differen in matlab and operation system
   However, matlab got its own java version, that may not be same as operation system. e.g. Matlab 2015b apply internal java 1.7 (by version -java to check in prompt), while my Mac OS is 1.8 (by java -version in terminal). Thus, it is necessary to call external java to fix it. According to solution.

   1. export external java path e.g. export MATLAB_JAVA=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/
   2. launch matlab from terminal e.g. cd /Applications/MATLAB_R2015a.app/bin/, ./matlab
   3. test the hellow word example as above.
