If you are using the simulator (or parts of it) for a publication, then you must cite our paper:

S. H. Mirfarshbafan, M. Shabany, S. A. Nezamalhosseini, and C. Studer, "Algorithm and VLSI Design for 1-bit Data Detection in Massive MIMO-OFDM", IEEE Open J. of Circuits and Sys. (OJCAS), to appear in 2020

and clearly mention this in your paper. In the following, by paper, we mean the above paper.

To regenerate the plots in figure 3 of the paper, simply assign one of the letters 'a', 'b', 'c' or 'd' to the variable simulation_setup in the main_BER_sim.m and run the script. It will generate all curves corresponding to the chosen letter from figure 3 and plot them all, except for the fixed-point version of 1BOX detector.

In order to simulate with other parameters, define a new set of parameters in par_config.m and assign a value to the variable simulation_setup that corresponds to the new set of parameters. Additionally, define what combination of channel estimator and data detectors to be simulated, in the par.chest_list and par.det_list cell arrays in the par_config.m file. The cell array par.quant_list, specifies for each pair of channel estimator/data detector, whether infinite resolution or 1-bit ADCs are considered.

We highly recommend you to execute the code step-by-step (using MATLAB's debug mode) in order to get a detailed understanding of the simulator. In order to do so, you should change the parfor in the main_BER_sim.m to a simple for (just replace parfor with for) so that debugging is possible.
