nrPUCCH4

Generate PUCCH format 4 modulation symbols

Description

sym = nrPUCCH4(uciCW,mod,nid,rnti,sf,occi) returns the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 4 modulation symbols for encoded uplink control information (UCI) codeword uciCW. The function implements TS 38.211 Section 6.3.2.6 [1]. The encoding consists of:

  • Scrambling using scrambling identity nid.

  • Symbol modulation using modulation scheme mod.

  • Block-wise spreading using spreading factor sf and orthogonal cover code index occi.

  • Transform precoding by considering 12 subcarriers associated with the PUCCH format 4 transmission.

rnti is the radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) of the user equipment (UE).

example

sym = nrPUCCH4(___,mrb) specifies the number of PUCCH resource blocks in addition to the input arguments in the previous syntax. In this case, the transform precoding considers 12×mrb subcarriers for the PUCCH.

sym = nrPUCCH4(___,'OutputDataType',datatype) specifies the PUCCH symbol data type in addition to the input arguments combinations in the previous syntaxes.
