Generate the PUCCH Format 3 Demodulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) values for UE-specific settings.

Initialize UE specific (ue) and channel (chs) configuration structures. Generate PUCCH DM-RS values.

Demonstrate Uplink Release 11 coordinated multipoint (CoMP) operation. Intercell interference can be avoided by using a virtual cell identity for a potentially interfering UE in a neighboring cell.

Configuration for UE of interest, UE 1 in cell 1.

ue1.NCellID = 1;
ue1.NSubframe = 0;
ue1.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue1.Hopping = 'Off';
ue1.Shortened = 0;

chs1.ResourceIdx = 0;

Configuration for interferer, UE 2 in cell 2.

ue2.NCellID = 2;
ue2.NSubframe = 0;
ue2.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue2.Hopping = 'Off';
ue2.Shortened = 0;

chs2.ResourceIdx = 1;

Measure the interference between the DM-RS signals.

interferenceNoCoMP = abs(sum(ltePUCCH3DRS(ue1,chs1).*conj(ltePUCCH3DRS(ue2,chs2))))
interferenceNoCoMP = 6.3246

Reconfigure interferer for CoMP operation: use virtual cell identity equal to the cell identity for the UE of interest.

ue2.NPUCCHID = ue1.NCellID;

Measure the interference between the DM-RS signals when using CoMP.

interferenceUsingCoMP = abs(sum(ltePUCCH3DRS(ue1,chs1).*conj(ltePUCCH3DRS(ue2,chs2))))
interferenceUsingCoMP = 8.7932e-15

Comparing the correlations between the DM-RS signals for two UEs with and without CoMP, interferenceUsingCoMP and interferenceNoCoMP respectively. Using CoMP, the interference is reduced to effectively zero.

Generate the PUCCH format 3 DM-RS sequences for two transmit antenna paths. Display the information structure.

Initialize UE-specific and channel configuration structures. Provide an empty vector for the ack, indicating there are no HARQ bits for this PUCCH transmission. Generate PUCCH 3 DM-RS and information outputs.

ue.NCellID = 1;
ue.NSubframe = 0;
ue.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue.Hopping = 'Off';
ue.Shortened = 0;

chs.ResourceIdx = [0 3];

ack = [];

[drsSeq,info] = ltePUCCH3DRS(ue,chs,ack);

Because there are two antennas, the DM-RS sequences are output as a two-column vector and the info output structure contains two elements. View ind and the size of info to confirm this.
