Syntax

[ind,info,ptrsInd] = nrPUSCHIndices(carrier,pusch)
[ind,info,ptrsInd] = nrPUSCHIndices(carrier,pusch,Name,Value)

Description

[ind,info,ptrsInd] = nrPUSCHIndices(carrier,pusch) returns ind in matrix form, which contains 1-based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource element (RE) indices, as defined in TS 38.211 Sections 6.3.1.6 and 6.3.1.7 [1]. The number of columns in ind is equal to the number of configured antenna ports. carrier specifies the carrier configuration parameters for a specific OFDM numerology and pusch specifies the PUSCH configuration. When you enable transform precoding, the output ind contains the combined locations of the data and the phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS). The function also returns the structural information, info, and PT-RS RE indices, ptrsInd. The output info contains information about the associated physical reference signals, bit capacity, and symbol capacity. ptrsInd is a matrix of PT-RS REs within the carrier resource grid. When you enable transform precoding, the output ptrsInd represents the projections of PT-RS locations prior to transform precoding onto the carrier resource grid.

example

[ind,info,ptrsInd] = nrPUSCHIndices(carrier,pusch,Name,Value) specifies output formatting options using one or more name-value pair arguments. Unspecified options take default values.

Create a carrier configuration object with default properties. This object corresponds to a 10 MHz carrier with 15 kHz subcarrier spacing.

carrier = nrCarrierConfig;

Create a PUSCH configuration object with codebook-based transmission. Set the number of antenna ports to 4, modulation scheme to pi/2-BPSK, transmitted precoding matrix indicator to 10, and transform precoding to 0. When transform precoding is 0, the waveform type is cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM). Enable phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS).

pusch.TransformPrecoding = 0;
pusch.Modulation = 'pi/2-BPSK';
