nrWavegenPDSCHConfig

PDSCH configuration parameters for 5G waveform generation

Description

The nrWavegenPDSCHConfig object sets physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration parameters, as defined in TS 38.211 Sections 7.3.1, 7.4.1.1, and 7.4.1.2 [1]. Use this object to set the PDSCH property of the nrDLCarrierConfig object when configuring 5G downlink waveform generation.

This object defines several properties of the PDSCH, including the modulation scheme, layer mapping, target code rate, time-domain and frequency-domain allocation, and virtual resource blocks (VRB) to physical resource blocks (PRBs) interleaving. The object also contains properties of the associated physical reference signals, such as the demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) and the phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS).

The default nrWavegenPDSCHConfig object configures a single-layer PDSCH with mapping type A, QPSK modulation, a resource allocation of 52 resource blocks and 14 OFDM symbols in a slot, transmission in all slots, and single-symbol DM-RS type 1. This configuration corresponds to a full resource allocation with respect to the default nrWavegenBWPConfig object.

Creation

Syntax

pdsch = nrWavegenPDSCHConfig
