Syntax

lteRMCDLTool
[waveform,grid,rmccfgout] = lteRMCDLTool(rmccfg,trdata)
[waveform,grid,rmccfgout] = lteRMCDLTool(rc,trdata,duplexmode,totsubframes)

Description

lteRMCDLTool starts the LTE Waveform Generator app configured for parameterization and generation of a reference measurement channel (RMC) waveform. The Reference Channel menu lists the available RMCs with their default top-level settings.

[waveform,grid,rmccfgout] = lteRMCDLTool(rmccfg,trdata) where rmccfg specifies a user-defined reference channel structure. The reference configuration structure with default parameters can easily be created using lteRMCDL then modified if desired.

Note

SIB1 messages and the associated PDSCH and PDCCH can be added to the output waveform by adding the substructure rmccfg.SIB.

[waveform,grid,rmccfgout] = lteRMCDLTool(rc,trdata,duplexmode,totsubframes) specifies the default reference measurement channel, rc, and information bits trdata. duplexmode and totsubframes are optional input arguments, that define the duplex mode of the generated waveform and total number of subframes that make up the grid.

Data Types: char | string

Information bits, specified as a vector or cell array containing one or two vectors of bit values. Each vector contains the information bits stream to be coded across the duration of the generation, which represents multiple concatenated transport blocks. If the number of bits required across all subframes of the generation exceeds the length of the vectors provided, the txdata vector is looped internally. This feature allows you to enter a short pattern, such as [1;0;0;1], which is repeated as the input to the transport coding. In each subframe of generation, the number of data bits taken from this stream comes from the elements of the rmccfgout.PDSCH.TrBlkSizes matrix.

When the trdata input contains empty vectors, there is no transport data. The transmission of PDSCH and its corresponding PDCCH are skipped in the waveform when the trdata contains empty vectors. The other physical channels and signals are transmitted as normal in generated waveform.

Example: [1;0;0;1]

Data Types: double | cell
Complex Number Support: Yes

Duplexing mode, specified as 'FDD' or 'TDD' to indicate the frame structure type of the generated waveform.

Data Types: double

Reference channel configuration, specified as a structure. Create a reference configuration structure with default parameters by using the lteRMCDL function. The reference configuration structures you generate with the lteRMCDL function comply with those defined in Annex A.3 of [1].

To generate the waveform output in alignment with your simulation requirements, modify the output of the lteRMCDL function. To add SIB1 messages and the associated PDSCH and PDCCH to the output waveform, specify the rmccfg.SIB substructure. You can specify this input to include fields contained in the rmccfgout output structure.

SamplingRate

Numeric scalar

Carrier sampling rate in Hz, (NSC/NSYM) × 3.84e6, where NSC is the number of subcarriers and NSYM is the number of OFDM symbols in a subframe.

Nfft

Scalar integer, typically one of {128, 256, 512, 1024, 1536, 2048} for standard channel bandwidths {'1.4MHz', '3MHz', '5MHz', '10MHz', '15MHz', '20MHz'}, respectively.

Number of FFT frequency bins

  1. CFI is equal to the number of symbols allocated to:

    • PDCCH - 1 for NDLRB < 10

    • PDCCH for NDLRB >= 10

    For the RMCs, the number of symbols allocated to PDCCH varies with channel bandwidth setting,

    • 2 symbols for 20 MHz, 15 MHz, and 10 MHz

    • 3 symbols for 5 MHz and 3 MHz

    • 4 symbols for 1.4 MHz

    In the TDD mode, only two OFDM symbols are allocated to PDCCH in subframes 1 and 6 irrespective of the channel bandwidth. Therefore, the CFI value varies per subframe for the 5 MHz and 3 MHz and 1.4 MHz channel bandwidths, that is for bandwidths where PDCCH symbol allocation is not two for other subframes.

  2. The PDCCH ONCG fills the unused PDCCH resource elements with QPSK symbols using either single port or transmit diversity depending on the number of cell RS ports.

  3. All supported RMCs use TDDConfig 1 by default. When you specify a value different then the default, the full parameter set is configured according to the following rules.

    • Preserve subframe 0 (downlink) for all TDDConfig — The values of the parameters in subframe 0 of TDDConfig 1 is applied in all other TDDConfig.

    • Preserve special subframe behavior — The values of the parameters in special subframes of TDDConfig 1 is applied in all other TDDConfig.

    • Preserve subframe 5 (downlink) for all TDDConfig — The values of the parameters in subframe 5 of TDDConfig 1 is applied to all other TDDConfig. For all RMCs currently supported, subframe 5 is treated separately from other subframes. According to TS 36.101 Section A.3.1, “Unless otherwise stated, no user data is scheduled on subframes 5 in order to facilitate the transmission of system information blocks (SIB).” Hence the RC value, if present, determines the behavior of subframe 5. This means that subframe 5 is not transmitted for other RMCs, with the exception of sustained data rate RMCs R.31-3A and R.31-4.

    • All other downlink subframes use the same settings as subframe 9.

PDSCH Substructure

'QPSK', '16QAM', '64QAM', or '256QAM'

Modulation type, specified as a character vector, cell array of character vectors, or string array. If blocks, each cell is associated with a transport block.

NLayers

Integer from 1 to 8

Number of transmission layers.

Rho

0 (default), numeric scalar

PDSCH resource element power allocation, in dB

RNTI

0 (default), scalar integer

RVSeq

Integer vector (0,1,2,3), specified as a one or two row matrix (for one or two codewords)

Redundancy version (RV) indicator used by all HARQ processes, returned as a numeric matrix. RVSeq is a one- or two-row matrix for one or two codewords, respectively. The number of columns in RVSeq equals the number of transmissions of the transport blocks associated with a HARQ process. The RV sequence specified in each column is applied to the transmission of the transport blocks. If RVSeq is a scalar (or column vector in the case of two codewords), then there is a single initial transmission of each block with no retransmissions. If RVSeq is a row vector in a two-codeword transmission, then the same RV sequence is applied to both codewords.

RV

Integer vector (0,1,2,3). A one or two column matrix (for one or two codewords).

Specifies the redundancy version for one or two codewords used in the initial subframe number, NSubframe. This parameter field is only for informational purposes and is read-only.

NHARQProcesses

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8

Number of HARQ processes per component carrier

NTurboDecits

5 (default), nonnegative scalar integer

Number of turbo decoder iteration cycles

PRBSet

Integer column vector or two-column matrix

Zero-based physical resource block (PRB) indices corresponding to the slot-wise resource allocations for this PDSCH. The function returns this field as one of these values.

  • a column vector, the resource allocation is the same in both slots of the subframe,

  • a two-column matrix, this parameter specifies different PRBs for each slot in a subframe,

  • a cell array of length 10 (corresponding to a frame, if the allocated physical resource blocks vary across subframes).

This field varies per subframe for these RMCs: 'R.25' (with TDD), 'R.26' (with TDD), 'R.27' (with TDD), 'R.43' (with FDD), 'R.44', 'R.45', 'R.48', 'R.50', 'R.51', 'R.68-1', and 'R.105'.

TargetCodeRate

Numeric scalar or one or two row numeric matrix

Target code rates for one or two codewords for each subframe in a frame. Used for calculating the transport block sizes according to TS 36.101 [1], Annex A.3.1.

If both TargetCodeRate and TrBlkSizes are not provided at the input, and the RC does not have a single ratio target code rate in TS 36.101, Table A.3.1.1-1, TargetCodeRate == ActualCodeRate.

ActualCodeRate

One or two row numeric matrix

Actual code rates for one or two codewords for each subframe in a frame, calculated according to TS 36.101 [1], Annex A.3.1. The maximum actual code rate is 0.93. This parameter field is only for informational purposes and is read-only.

TrBlkSizes

One or two row numeric matrix

Transport block sizes for each subframe in a frame

CodedTrBlkSizes

One or two row numeric matrix

Coded transport block sizes for one or two codewords. This parameter field is for informational purposes and is read-only.

DCIFormat

'Format0', 'Format1', 'Format1A', 'Format1B', 'Format1C', 'Format1D', 'Format2', 'Format2A', 'Format2B', 'Format2C', 'Format2D', 'Format3', 'Format3A', 'Format4', 'Format5', 'Format5A'

Downlink control information (DCI) format type of the PDCCH associated with the PDSCH. See lteDCI.

PDCCHFormat

0, 1, 2, 3

Aggregation level of PDCCH associated with PDSCH

PDCCHPowerNumeric scalar

PDCCH power in dB

CSIMode

'PUCCH 1-0', 'PUCCH 1-1', 'PUSCH 1-2', 'PUSCH 3-0', 'PUSCH 3-1'

CSI reporting mode

PMIMode

'Wideband' (default), 'Subband'

PMI reporting mode. PMIMode='Wideband' corresponds to PUSCH reporting Mode 1-2 or PUCCH reporting Mode 1-1 (PUCCH Report Type 2) and PMIMode='Subband' corresponds to PUSCH reporting Mode 3-1.

The following field is only present for 'SpatialMux' transmission scheme (TxScheme).
  PMISet

Integer vector with element values from 0 to 15.

Precoder matrix indication (PMI) set. It can contain either a single value, corresponding to single PMI mode, or multiple values, corresponding to multiple or subband PMI mode. The number of values depends on CellRefP, transmission layers and TxScheme. For more information about setting PMI parameters, see ltePMIInfo.

The following field is only present for 'Port7-8', 'Port8', or 'Port7-14' transmission schemes (TxScheme).
  NSCID

0 (default), 1

Scrambling identity (ID)

The following fields are only present for UE-specific beamforming ('Port5', 'Port7-8', 'Port8', or 'Port7-14').
  WNumeric matrix

NLayers-by-P precoding matrix for the wideband UE-specific beamforming of the PDSCH symbols. P is the number of transmit antennas. When W is not specified, no precoding is applied.

  NTxAnts

Nonnegative scalar integer

Number of transmission antennas.

HARQProcessSequence

1-by-LHARQ_Seq integer vector.

One-based HARQ process indices for the internal HARQ scheduling sequence. The sequence of length LHARQ_Seq is optimized according to transport block sizes, number of HARQ processes, duplex mode, and when in TDD mode the UL/DL configuration.

See footnote.

  1. The function returns valid TrBlkSizes and CodedTrBlkSizes set to 0 when PRBSet is empty, indicating there is no PDSCH allocation in this frame.

  2. The HARQ process sequence table is calculated according to the procedure detailed in 3GPP Tdoc R5-095777 ("Scheduling of retransmissions and number of active HARQ processes for DL performance RMC-s")

    • For the case when NHARQProcesses = 1, the HARQProcessSequence is [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]. Using this HARQ process sequence, only the TrBlkSize corresponding to subframe 0 gets transmitted. There is no transmission in other subframes, even if the transport block sizes in other subframes are nonzero.

SIB Substructure

If the substructure SIB has been added to rmccfg, SIB1 messages and the associated PDSCH and PDCCH can be generated. The SIB substructure includes these fields:

Parameter FieldValuesDescription
Data

(0,1), bit array

SIB1 transport block information bits

See footnote.

VRBStart

variable, see rules in TS 36.213 Section 7.1.6.3

Virtual RB allocation starting resource block, RBstart.

VRBLength

variable, see rules in TS 36.213 Section 7.1.6.3

Length in terms of virtual contiguously allocated resource blocks, LCRBs.

Enable

'On' (default), 'Off'

Enable/Disable SIB generation

DCIFormat

'Format1A' (default) or 'Format1C'

Downlink control information (DCI) format

AllocationType

0 (default) or 1, single bit flag

Localized (0) or distributed (1) allocation of virtual resource blocks for Resource allocation type 2

The following parameter is only applicable when DCIFormat = 'Format1A'.

 N1APRB

2 or 3

Transport block set selection parameter, NPRB1A

Indicates the column in TS 36.213, Table 7.1.7.2.1-1 for transport block size selection. The default is the smallest transport block size, in either column 2 or 3, that is bigger than or equal to the length of the Data field. Also see TS 36.212 Section 5.3.3.1.3 and TS 36.213 Section 7.1.7.

The following parameter is only applicable when using distributed allocation (AllocationType = 1).

 Gap

0 or 1

Distributed allocation gap, ‘0’ for Ngap,1 or ‘1’ for Ngap,2

  1. The set of valid transport block sizes is specified in TS 36.213 [4], Table 7.1.7.2.1-1. Only columns 2 and 3 apply to the SIB DL-SCH. The Data field is padded with zeros to the closest valid size from this table.

Note

  • Per TS 36.321 [5], Section 6.1.1, the lowest order information bit of the SIB.Data field is mapped to the most significant bit of the SIB1 transport block.

  • For subframe 5, per TS 36.101 [1], Annex A.3, reference PDSCH transmissions are not scheduled in subframe 5 except for the SIB1 associated PDSCH.

  • Setting the OCNG parameter field 'On' fills all unused, unscheduled PDSCH resource elements with QPSK modulated random data.

  • The values for CFI and PRBSet can vary per subframe. If these parameters are arrays, then the function cyclically steps through the elements of the array starting with the index given by mod(NSubframe,length(parameter)). When parameter is PRBSet, the parameter must be a cell array of column vectors or slot-wise matrices.

  • The PHICH symbols carry a single ACK on the first PHICH instance in each PHICH group.

OCNGPDSCH Substructure

The substructure, OCNGPDSCH, defines the OCNG patterns in associated RMCs and tests according to TS 36.101 [1], Section A.5. OCNGPDSCH contains these fields which can also be customized with the full range of PDSCH-specific values.
