nrPBCHPRBS

R2026b

Generate PBCH scrambling sequence

Syntax

[seq,cinit] = nrPBCHPRBS(ncellid,v,n)

[seq,cinit] = nrPBCHPRBS(ncellid,v,n,Name=Value)

Description

[seq,cinit] = nrPBCHPRBS(ncellid,v,n) returns the first n elements of the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) scrambling sequence. The pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) generator is initialized with the physical layer cell identity number ncellid and scrambling sequence phase v. The function implements TS 38.211 Section 7.3.3.1 [1]. The function also returns the initialization value cinit for the PRBS generator.

[seq,cinit] = nrPBCHPRBS(ncellid,v,n,Name=Value) specifies additional output formatting options by using one or more name-value arguments. For example, MappingType="signed" specifies nondefault output sequence formatting.

Examples

Generate PBCH Scrambling Sequence

Generate the first 864 outputs of the PBCH scrambling sequence initialized with the specified physical layer cell identity number. The specified length of 864 corresponds to the PBCH bit capacity as specified in TS 38.212 Section 7.1.5. Consider the 43rd Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel (SS/PBCH) block in a burst. Assume that the number of SS/PBCH blocks per half-frame is 64.

ncellid = 17;
ssbindex = 42;
v = mod(ssbindex,8); % assume L_max = 64
E = 864; 
seq = nrPBCHPRBS(ncellid,v,E);

Input Arguments

ncellid — Physical layer cell identity number

integer

Physical layer cell identity number, specified as an integer from 0 to 1007.

Data Types: double

v — Scrambling sequence phase

integer from 0 to 7

Scrambling sequence phase, specified as an integer from 0 to 7. v is derived in a synchronization signal (SS) burst configuration, from the least significant bits (LSBs) of the SS/PBCH block index.

• If the number of SS/PBCH blocks per half-frame is 4, then v is the two LSBs of the SS/PBCH block index (0 to 3).

• If the number of SS/PBCH blocks per half-frame is 8 or 64, then v is the three LSBs of the SS/PBCH block index (0 to 7).

Data Types: double

n — Number of elements in output sequence

nonnegative integer

Number of elements in output sequence, specified as a nonnegative integer.

Data Types: double

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: MappingType='signed' specifies nondefault output sequence formatting.

MappingType — Output sequence formatting

'binary' (default) | 'signed'

Output sequence formatting, specified as one of these values:

• 'binary' — This value maps true to 1 and false to 0. The data type of the output sequence is logical.

• 'signed' — This value maps true to –1 and false to 1. The data type of the output sequence is double. To specify single data type, use the OutputDataType name-value argument.

Data Types: char | string

OutputDataType — Data type of output sequence

'double' (default) | 'single'

Data type of output sequence, specified as 'double' or 'single'. This name-value argument applies only when MappingType is set to 'signed'.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

seq — PBCH scrambling sequence

logical column vector | numeric column vector

PBCH scrambling sequence, returned as a logical or numeric column vector. The output seq contains the first n elements of the PBCH scrambling sequence. If you set MappingType to 'signed', the data type of seq is either double or single. If you set MappingType to 'binary', the data type of seq is logical.

Data Types: double | single | logical

cinit — Initialization value for PRBS generator

nonnegative integer from 0 to 1007

Initialization value for PRBS generator, returned as a nonnegative integer from 0 to 1007. cinit is the same value as ncellid.

Data Types: double

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.

Usage notes and limitations:

Names and values in name-value arguments must be compile-time constants. For example, when specifying 'single' as the output data type, include {coder.Constant('OutputDataType'),coder.Constant('single')} in the -args value of the codegen function. For more information, see the coder.Constant (MATLAB Coder) class.

GPU Code Generation

Generate CUDA® code for NVIDIA® GPUs using GPU Coder™.

Refer to the usage notes and limitations in the C/C++ Code Generation section. The same usage notes and limitations apply to GPU code generation.
