I designed a Reed-Solomon decoder in Matlab. Now, I need to make a simulation to compare the performance of coded vs uncoded data sent over an AWGN channel. What would be steps to follow? I think, I first have to create a random sequence of symbols and modulate them. I will use BPSK modulation. Then, how can I create the noise and obtain the symbol errors? Should I turn my Reed-Solomon decoder into a function and use it that way to decode the noisy channel?
Also, for a reliable simulation, how many data points are needed? Can someone give me a general outline of how I should approach the problem?

Thanks a lot.
