5G NR Physical Layer Modeling in MATLAB

This technical session shows the application of 5G Toolbox™ for 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) physical layer modeling. Standards-compliant models in MATLAB^® are implemented to explore the behavior of 5G physical layer systems or components. MATLAB version R2019b is used.

Highlights Include:

• Uplink and downlink 5G NR waveform generation including pre-defined (test models, FRCs) and full custom waveforms
  
• Mixed numerology, CP-OFDM, and SC-FDMA
• Modeling of 5G uplink and downlink physical channels and signals such as PDSCH/PUSCH, PDCCH/PUCCH, synchronization burst, DMRS (demodulation reference signals), CSI-RS, SRS, and PT-RS
• Channel models as specified in TR 38.901 including tapped delay line (TDL) and clustered delay line (CDL)
• Link-level simulation reference design, enabling you to measure throughput of a downlink (PDSCH) or an uplink (PUSCH) 5G link over 2-D or 3-D channel model
• Synchronization procedures including cell search and MIB decoding
• Beamforming applied to millimeter wave (mmw) transmission
• Downlink ACLR measurement
