You need to use something that is traditionally called a "modem".

Hope this helps.

Hello all, please i need urgent help 
I have used the inbuilt matlab functions as described in matlab for Reed
Solomon and Convolutional codes. I have a binary file that i want to
simulate using an awgn and a mobile channel. Ineed to calculate the ber and
(EbNo) plot them on a graph. But the noisy signal i get after adding awgn
to the code cannot be decoded by Reed Solomon decoder since it is not an
integer value. I would appreciate any help you can give to me as i would
still use convolutional codes and concatenated codes. 
Hope to hear from you soon.
