Announcing Sionna v0.10

[faycalaa]

We are happy to announce the Sionna v0.10 release:

New features:

• Universal FEC encoder for binary linear codes
• Utility functions for FEC to
  • Convert parity-check matrix to generator matrix
  • Make generator matrix systematic
  • Generate dense Polar parity-check and generator matrices
  • Verify that generator and parity check matrix are orthogonal in GF(2)
• Linear interpolator for OFDM channel estimation (with optional time-averaging)
• MIMO maximum likelihood detector that computes either LLRs on bits or logits on constellation points
• SymbolSource layer for sampling arbitrary constellations
• PAMSource layer for sampling PAM constellations
• The SymbolSource, PAMSource, QAMSource, and Mapper optionally return the indices of the constellation points and/or the bit labels
• Utility layer to compute logits on constellation points from LLRs on bits (with optional priors)
• Utility layer to compute the mean and variance of a constellation given logits on the points
• Addition of integration tests

Fixes:

• (sionna-0.9.1 incompatible with tf-2.9.1? #25) XLA compatibility with TF2.9 for the BP decoder
• (SNR desciptor function in plotBER class returns wrong attribute  #29) SNR property in PlotBER
• Adds support for TF2.9
• Minor bug fixes
• Typos in the documentation
