I think you mentioned Matlab, in which case the function 'vitdec' is
what you will probably use. There are examples of how to use it on
www.mathworks.com, just type 'vitdec' into the search box. You have
specifiy the soft I and Q values as K bit integers from 0 to (2^K)-1.
Let's say K is 3. Then you must map the floating point I and Q samples
to integers in [0,7]. If you expect a range of floating point values
from -sqrt(2) to +sqrt(2), with nominal values -sqrt(2)/2 and +sqrt(2)/
2, then the soft decisions would be:

Isd = 4+floor(4*I/sqrt(2))
Qsd = 4+floor(4*Q/sqrt(2))

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Could you please explain me if I quantize real
and imaginary part of my received coded QPSK separately how can I use these
3 bits from real and 3 bits from imaginary part in Viterbi soft decoding? 

P.S. I have looked on internet for it but couldn’t get any answer, so if
you know any website kindly forward its address. Also I would be grateful
if you send me any solved example of Viterbi decoding of QPSK coded
signal. 

Bye

Just feed them into the decoder: Isd Qsd Isd Qsd ... etc

Hi,
I would be grateful if you please explain me how do u get these following
expressions:

Isd = 4+floor(4*I/sqrt(2))
Qsd = 4+floor(4*Q/sqrt(2))

Thanks.

I don't care to spoon feed this to you any more. I suggest you hire a
tutor.
