ltePUCCH1DRS

PUCCH format 1 demodulation reference signal

Syntax

seq = ltePUCCH1DRS(ue,chs)

[seq,info] = ltePUCCH1DRS(ue,chs)

Description

seq = ltePUCCH1DRS(ue,chs) returns a matrix containing demodulation reference signal (DRS) associated with PUCCH format 1 transmission, given structures containing the UE-specific settings, and the channel transmission configuration settings.

[seq,info] = ltePUCCH1DRS(ue,chs) also returns a PUCCH information structure array, info.

Examples

Generate PUCCH Format 1 DM-RS

Generate PUCCH format 1 DM-RS values for UE-specific settings.

Initialize UE-specific and channel configuration structures. Generate PUCCH format 1 DM-RS values.

ue.NCellID = 1;
ue.NSubframe = 0;
ue.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue.Hopping = 'Off';

chs.ResourceIdx = 0;
chs.DeltaShift = 1;
chs.CyclicShifts = 0;

drsSeq = ltePUCCH1DRS(ue,chs);

Generate PUCCH Format 1 DM-RS Using Virtual Cell ID

Demonstrate Uplink Release 11 coordinated multipoint (CoMP) operation. Intercell interference can be avoided by using a virtual cell identity and a distinct DM-RS cyclic shift hopping identity for a potentially interfering UE in a neighboring cell.

Configuration for UE of interest, UE 1 in cell 1.

ue1.NCellID = 1;
ue1.NSubframe = 0;
ue1.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue1.Hopping = 'Off';

chs1.ResourceIdx = 0;
chs1.DeltaShift = 1;
chs1.CyclicShifts = 0;

Configuration for interferer, UE 2 in cell 2.

ue2.NCellID = 2;
ue2.NSubframe = 0;
ue2.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue2.Hopping = 'Off';

chs2.ResourceIdx = 1;
chs2.DeltaShift = 1;
chs2.CyclicShifts = 0;

Measure the interference between the DM-RS signals.

interferenceNoCoMP = abs(sum(ltePUCCH1DRS(ue1,chs1).*conj(ltePUCCH1DRS(ue2,chs2))))

interferenceNoCoMP = 
2.0706

Reconfigure interferer for CoMP operation: use virtual cell identity equal to the cell identity for the UE of interest.

ue2.NPUCCHID = ue1.NCellID;

Measure the interference between the DM-RS signals when using CoMP:

interferenceUsingCoMP = abs(sum(ltePUCCH1DRS(ue1,chs1).*conj(ltePUCCH1DRS(ue2,chs2))))

interferenceUsingCoMP = 
2.3591e-14

Compare the correlations between the DM-RS signals for two UEs with and without CoMP, interferenceUsingCoMP and interferenceNoCoMP respectively. Using CoMP, the interference is reduced to effectively zero.

Generate PUCCH Format 1 DM-RS for Two Antennas

Generate the PUCCH format 1 DM-RS for two transmit antenna paths.

Initialize UE-specific and channel configuration structures. Generate PUCCH1 DM-RS and information outputs.

ue.NCellID = 1;
ue.NSubframe = 0;
ue.CyclicPrefixUL = 'Normal';
ue.Hopping = 'Off';

chs.ResourceIdx = [0 3];
chs.DeltaShift = 1;
chs.CyclicShifts = 0;

[drsSeq,info] = ltePUCCH1DRS(ue,chs);

Because there are two antennas, the DM-RS sequences are output as a two-column vector and the info output structure contains two elements. View ind and the size of info to confirm this.
