Suppose i have a fixed value vector a=[1.05;0.2561;.3321]). I want to add 20% Gaussian noise to each value of this vector as follows:
a_with_noise=[a]+[20% Gaussian noise]=====> This should give me; a_with_noise=[1.05+noise;0.2561+noise;.3321+noise]
Here [a] should act as the mean of the Gaussian noise distribution.
Thanks

There is a function called randn() that you must have overlooked when you were searching for "random" in the help. Use that. It gives noise with zero mean and unit standard deviation so you'll have to scale it:
% Define our signal - a column vector.
a=[1.05;0.2561;.3321]
% Make the spread of the Gaussians be 20% of the a values
sigmas = 0.2 * a % Also a column vector.
% Create the noise values that we'll add to a.
randomNoise = randn(length(a), 1) .* sigmas
% Add noise to a to make an output column vector.
output = a + randomNoise

If I get you right this should do it:
function A_p_noise = addgaussiannoise(A,N2S)
A_p_noise = A.*(1+N2S*randn(size(A)));
