nrPDSCHIndices

Generate PDSCH resource element indices

Syntax

[ind,info] = nrPDSCHIndices(carrier,pdsch)

[ind,info] = nrPDSCHIndices(carrier,pdsch,Name,Value)

Description

[ind,info] = nrPDSCHIndices(carrier,pdsch) returns ind in matrix form, which contains 1-based physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource element (RE) indices, as defined in TS 38.211 Sections 7.3.1.5 and 7.3.1.6 [1]. The number of columns in ind is equal to the number of antenna ports configured. carrier specifies the carrier configuration parameters for a specific OFDM numerology and pdsch specifies the PDSCH configuration. The function also returns the structure info, which contains additional information about the associated physical reference signals, PDSCH bit capacity, and PDSCH symbol capacity.

[ind,info] = nrPDSCHIndices(carrier,pdsch,Name,Value) specifies output formatting options using one or more name-value pair arguments. Unspecified options take default values.

Examples

Generate PDSCH Symbols and Indices

Create a carrier configuration object with default properties. Specify the physical layer cell identity as 42 and slot number as 10.

carrier = nrCarrierConfig;
carrier.NCellID = 42;
carrier.NSlot = 10;

Create a PDSCH configuration object with a 16-QAM modulation scheme. Set the radio network temporary identifier to 1005, size of the BWP to 25, starting PRB index of the BWP to 10, and PRB set to occupy the whole BWP.

pdsch = nrPDSCHConfig;
pdsch.Modulation = '16QAM';
pdsch.RNTI = 1005;
pdsch.NID = []; % Set NID equal to the NCellID property of carrier
pdsch.NSizeBWP = 25;
pdsch.NStartBWP = 10;
pdsch.PRBSet = 0:pdsch.NSizeBWP-1;

Generate PDSCH indices in subscript form and set the index orientation to bandwidth part.

[ind,info] = nrPDSCHIndices(carrier,pdsch,'IndexStyle','subscript','IndexOrientation','bwp')

ind = 3900×3 uint32 matrix

Input Arguments

carrier — Carrier configuration parameters

nrCarrierConfig object

Carrier configuration parameters for a specific OFDM numerology, specified as an nrCarrierConfig object. This function uses only these properties of the nrCarrierConfig object.

• SubcarrierSpacing

• CyclicPrefix

• NSizeGrid

• NStartGrid

• NSlot

pdsch — PDSCH configuration parameters

nrPDSCHConfig object

PDSCH configuration parameters, specified as an nrPDSCHConfig object. This function only uses these nrPDSCHConfig object properties.

• NSizeBWP

• NStartBWP

• ReservedPRB

• ReservedRE

• Modulation

• NumLayers

• MappingType

• SymbolAllocation

• PRBSet

• VRBToPRBInterleaving

• VRBBundleSize

• RNTI

• DMRS

• EnablePTRS

• PTRS

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.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: 'IndexStyle','subscript','IndexBase','0based' specifies the RE indexing form and base, respectively, of the output.

IndexStyle — RE indexing form

'index' (default) | 'subscript'

RE indexing form, specified as one of these values:

• 'index' — The indices are in linear index form.

• 'subscript' — The indices are in [subcarrier, symbol, antenna] subscript row form.

Data Types: char | string

IndexBase — RE indexing base

'1based' (default) | '0based'

RE indexing base, specified as one of these values:

• '1based' — The index counting starts from 1.

• '0based' — The index counting starts from 0.

Data Types: char | string

IndexOrientation — Indexing orientation of resource elements

'carrier' (default) | 'bwp'

Indexing orientation of resource elements, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'IndexOrientation' and one of these values:

• 'carrier' — Indices are referenced with respect to the carrier grid.

• 'bwp' — Indices are referenced with respect to the bandwidth part.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

ind — PDSCH resource element indices

N-by-P matrix | M-by-3 matrix

PDSCH resource element indices, returned as one of these values.

• N-by-P matrix — The function returns this type of value when 'IndexStyle' is set to 'index'.

• M-by-3 matrix — The function returns this type of value when 'IndexStyle' is set to 'subscript'. The matrix rows correspond to the [subcarrier, symbol, antenna] subscripts based on the number of subcarriers, OFDM symbols, and number of antennas, respectively.

Depending on the value of 'IndexBase', the function returns either 1-based or 0-based indices. Depending on the value of 'IndexOrientation', the function returns either carrier oriented indices or BWP oriented indices.

Data Types: uint32

structure

PDSCH resource information, returned as a structure containing these fields.
