ltePDCCHInterleave

PDCCH interleaving and cyclic shift

Syntax

out = ltePDCCHInterleave(enb,in)

Description

out = ltePDCCHInterleave(enb,in) performs the interleaving and cyclic shifting on PDCCH resource element groups (REGs) as described in TS 36.211 [1], Section 6.8.5.

The permutation, or interleaving, operation is performed as described in TS 36.212 [2], Section 5.1.4.2.1, with the exception that “symbol quadruplets” replace “bits”. Then, the block of PDCCH-modulated symbol quadruplets is cyclically shifted with NCellID to avoid intercell interference.

Examples

Perform PDCCH Interleaving

Interleave a sequential input sized to the number of resource elements.

enb = lteRMCDL('R.0');
pdcchInfo = ltePDCCHInfo(enb);
interleavedSym = ltePDCCHInterleave(enb,(1:pdcchInfo.NRE).');
size(interleavedSym)

ans = 1×2

   452     1

interleavedSym(1:12)

ans = 12×1 uint64 column vector

The sequential input is interleaved, resulting in the concatenation of input quadruplets.

Input Arguments

enb — Cell-wide settings

scalar structure

Cell-wide settings, specified as a scalar structure. enb contains the following fields.

NCellID — Physical layer cell identity

integer from 0 to 503

Physical layer cell identity, specified as an integer from 0 to 503.

Data Types: struct

in — PDCCH complex modulated input symbols

complex-valued numeric matrix | numeric vector

PDCCH complex modulated input symbols, specified in a complex-valued numeric N_S-by-N_TX matrix, or a numeric vector. N_S is the number of modulated symbols, and N_TX is the number of transmit antennas. The N_S modulated symbols specified in input matrix, in, must be a concatenation of symbol quadruplets. If the input, in, is a vector, it interleaves the elements of the vector. If in is a matrix, it interleaves the rows.

Data Types: double
Complex Number Support: Yes

Output Arguments

out — Interleaved output

numeric vector

Interleaved output, returned as a numeric vector.
