nrPUSCHDMRSConfig

PUSCH DM-RS configuration parameters

expand all in page

Description

The nrPUSCHDMRSConfig object sets demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) configuration parameters for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), as defined in TS 38.211 Section 6.4.1.1 [1].

The object defines the properties of PUSCH DM-RS symbols and indices generation and the resource elements pattern not used for data in DM-RS symbol locations. The read-only properties of this object provide the DM-RS subcarrier locations within a resource block (RB), code division multiplexing (CDM) groups, and time and frequency weights for DM-RS symbols. By default, the object specifies a single symbol DM-RS at symbol index 2 (0-based) with configuration type 1 and antenna port 0. Use this object when setting the DMRS property of the nrPUSCHConfig or nrWavegenPUSCHConfig objects.

Creation

Syntax

dmrs = nrPUSCHDMRSConfig
dmrs = nrPUSCHDMRSConfig(Name,Value)

Description

dmrs = nrPUSCHDMRSConfig creates a DM-RS configuration object for a PUSCH with default properties.

example

dmrs = nrPUSCHDMRSConfig(Name,Value) specifies properties using one or more name-value pair arguments. Enclose each property in quotes. For example, 'DMRSConfigurationType',1,'DMRSLength',2 specifies a double-symbol DM-RS with configuration type as 1. Unspecified properties take their default values.

Properties

expand all

DM-RS configuration type, specified as 1 or 2. This property is the higher-layer parameter dmrs-Type.

This property value must be 1 when nrPUSCHDMRSConfig is a property of nrPUSCHConfig with TransformPrecoding property set to 1.

Data Types: double

Position of the first DM-RS OFDM symbol for mapping type A, specified as 2 or 3. This property is the higher-layer parameter dmrs-TypeA-Position.

This property only applies when the MappingType property of the nrPUSCHConfig or nrWavegenPUSCHConfig object is set to 'A'.

Data Types: double

Maximum number of DM-RS additional positions, specified as 0, 1, 2, or 3. This property is the higher-layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition.

This property value must be 0 or 1 when nrPUSCHDMRSConfig is a property of nrPUSCHConfig object with FrequencyHopping property set to 'intraSlot'.

Data Types: double

Number of consecutive front-loaded DM-RS OFDM symbols, specified as 1 (single-symbol DM-RS) or 2 (double-symbol DM-RS).

This property value must be 1 when nrPUSCHDMRSConfig is a property of nrPUSCHConfig object with FrequencyHopping property set to 'intraSlot'.

Data Types: double

DM-RS OFDM symbol locations that are 0-based, specified as one of these options.

  • Integer from 0 to 13 — For one DM-RS symbol

  • Vector of nonnegative integers from 0 to 13 — For multiple DM-RS symbols

Each input symbol location is assumed to be a single-symbol DM-RS within the physical shared channel symbol allocation.

The default value, [], corresponds to the DM-RS symbols locations as per TS 38.211 Table 6.4.1.1.3-3, 6.4.1.1.3-4, or 6.4.1.1.3-6 [1]. Setting this property overrides the corresponding DM-RS symbol locations in these standard lookup tables.

Data Types: double

DM-RS antenna port indices, specified as a vector of nonnegative integers from 0 to 23. The valid range of antenna port indices depends on the DM-RS configuration type, DM-RS symbol duration, and whether enhanced DM-RS multiplexing is enabled, as described in this table.

DMRSEnhancedR18 ValueDMRSLength ValueValid Range of Antenna Port Indices
DMRSConfigurationType=1DMRSConfigurationType=2
0 for basic multiplexing1 for single symbol[0, 3][0, 5]
2 for double symbol[0, 7][0, 11]
1 for enhanced multiplexing1 for single symbol

[0, 3] and [8, 11]

[0, 5] and [12, 17]

2 for double symbol[0, 15][0, 23]

This table corresponds to the PUSCH DM-RS antenna port values, as defined in TS 38.211 Table 6.4.1.1.3-5.

The default value, [], implies that the object automatically selects the first N valid port indices, where N is the number of layers that is specified by the NumLayers property of the nrPUSCHConfig or nrWavegenPUSCHConfig objects. For example, if NumLayers=6 and the valid port indices are in the range [0, 3] and [8, 11], then the object selects the 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 port indices.

Data Types: double

DM-RS scrambling identities for CP-OFDM (NID0 and NID1), specified as one of these options.

  • 1-by-2 integer vector of values from 0 to 65,535 — The vector elements define NID0 and NID1.

  • Scalar integer from 0 to 65,535 — This option specifies equal values for both NID0 and NID1.

  • [] — Use this option to set the DM-RS scrambling identity to the physical layer cell identity, specified by the NCellID property of the carrier configuration.

Dependencies

This property applies when the TransformPrecoding property of the nrPUSCHConfig object is set to 0.

Data Types: double

DM-RS scrambling identity for DFT-s-OFDM, specified as one of these options.

  • Integer from 0 to 1007 — If NRSID is the higher-layer parameter nPUSCH-Identity.

  • [] — Use this option to set NRSID automatically.

    • If you set the DMRSUplinkTransformPrecodingR16 property to 1 and the Modulation property of the PUSCH configuration object to 'pi/2-BPSK', the object sets NRSID to one of the NID values defined by the NIDNSCID property.

    • If you set the DMRSUplinkTransformPrecodingR16 property to 0 or the Modulation property of the PUSCH configuration object to a value that is different than 'pi/2-BPSK', the object sets NRSID to the NCellID property value of the nrCarrierConfig object.

Dependencies

This property applies when the TransformPrecoding property of the nrPUSCHConfig object is set to 1.

Data Types: double

Data Types: logical | double

  • 0 (false) — Disable the use of low PAPR DM-RS.

  • 1 (true) — Enable the use of low PAPR DM-RS. The DM-RS sequence generation depends on the DM-RS antenna port indices (DMRSPortSet) as well as the scrambling initialization (NSCID).
