function [SNR BER]=vblast(Num,modulation,corr,alpha)

%**************************************************************************
% This program implements vblast using perfect channel estimation for a 2x2
% system.
% z=vblast(Num,alg,modulation,corr,alpha) where
% Num-> number of runs
% alg -> algorithm.Choose from 'ZF' (for zero-forcing),'MM'(MMSE
% estimation),'ML'(maximum-likelihood decoding)
% modulation -> 'BPSK,'QPSK','16QAM','64QAM' (Note: for 'ML' algorithm only
% BPSK and QPSK exist and that too only for 2x2 configuration, as otherwise 
% run time is too high.
% corr -> 1 for correlation at the receiver, 0 for no correlation
% alpha -> correlation coefficient value from 0 -> 1 and 0 in case corr =0;
% EXAMPLE: vblast(1000,'ZF','QPSK',1,0.5)plots ZF curve for QPSK with 0.5  
% correlation coefficient at the receiver using 1000 Monte Carlo runs
