Generate PUSCH DM-RS symbols

Since R2020a

Description

sym = nrPUSCHDMRS(carrier,pusch) returns a matrix containing demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) symbols of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), as defined in TS 38.211 Section 6.4.1.1.1 [1]. carrier specifies the carrier configuration parameters for a specific OFDM numerology. pusch specifies the PUSCH configuration parameters.

example

sym = nrPUSCHDMRS(carrier,pusch,'OutputDataType',datatype) specifies the data type for the DM-RS symbols.

Map the BWP to the carrier resource grid, and then display the carrier grid.

grid = complex(zeros([carrier.NSizeGrid*12 carrier.SymbolsPerSlot pusch.NumLayers])); % Create carrier resource grid
offset = pusch.NStartBWP-carrier.NStartGrid; % BWP start location in the carrier grid

Input Arguments

collapse all

Carrier configuration parameters for a specific OFDM numerology, specified as an nrCarrierConfig object. This function uses only these properties of the nrCarrierConfig object.

PUSCH configuration parameters, specified as an nrPUSCHConfig object. This function uses only these properties of the nrPUSCHConfig object.

For operation with shared spectrum channel access for frequency range 1 (FR1), set the Interlacing property to true, then use the RBSetIndex and InterlaceIndex object properties to specify the allocated frequency resources. (since R2023b)

Data type for the generated DM-RS symbols, specified as 'double' or 'single'.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments
