5g nr downlink vector waveform generation -凯发k8网页登录

this example shows how to configure and generate a 5g nr downlink vector waveform for a baseband component carrier by using the function.

introduction

this example shows how to parameterize and generate a 5g new radio (nr) downlink waveform by using the nrwaveformgenerator function. the generated waveform contains these channels and signals.

  • pdsch and its associated dm-rs and pt-rs

  • pdcch and its associated dm-rs

  • pbch and its associated dm-rs

  • pss and sss

  • csi-rs

this example demonstrates how to parameterize and generate a baseband component carrier waveform characterized by multiple subcarrier spacing (scs) carriers and bandwidth parts (bwp). you can generate multiple instances of the physical downlink shared channel (pdsch), the physical downlink control channel (pdcch), and the channel state information reference signal (csi-rs) over the different bwps. you can configure sets of control resource sets (coresets) and search space monitoring opportunities for mapping the pdcchs. this example does not apply precoding to the physical channels and signals.

waveform and carrier configuration

use the object to parameterize the baseband waveform generation. this object contains a set of additional objects associated with the waveform channels and signals and enables you to set these downlink carrier configuration parameters.

  • label for this dl carrier configuration

  • scs carrier bandwidth in resource blocks

  • carrier cell id

  • length of the generated waveform in subframes

  • windowing

  • sample rate of the ofdm-modulated waveform

  • carrier frequency for symbol phase compensation

you can control scs carrier bandwidths and guardbands using the nstartgrid and nsizegrid properties of the object.

waveconfig = nrdlcarrierconfig;    % create a downlink carrier configuration object
waveconfig.label = 'dl carrier 1'; % label for this downlink waveform configuration
waveconfig.ncellid = 0;            % cell identity
waveconfig.channelbandwidth = 40;  % channel bandwidth (mhz)
waveconfig.frequencyrange = 'fr1'; % 'fr1' or 'fr2'
waveconfig.numsubframes = 10;      % number of 1 ms subframes in generated waveform (1, 2, 4, 8 slots per 1 ms subframe, depending on scs)
waveconfig.windowingpercent = 0;   % percentage of windowing relative to fft length
waveconfig.samplerate = [];        % sample rate of the ofdm modulated waveform
waveconfig.carrierfrequency = 0;   % carrier frequency in hz. this property is used for symbol phase
                                   % compensation before ofdm modulation
% define a set of scs specific carriers, using the maximum sizes for a
% 40 mhz nr channel. see ts 38.101-1 for more information on defined
% bandwidths and guardband requirements
scscarriers = {nrscscarrierconfig,nrscscarrierconfig};
scscarriers{1}.subcarrierspacing = 15;
scscarriers{1}.nsizegrid = 216;
scscarriers{1}.nstartgrid = 0;
scscarriers{2}.subcarrierspacing = 30;
scscarriers{2}.nsizegrid = 106;
scscarriers{2}.nstartgrid = 1;

ss burst

in this section you can set the parameters for the signal synchronization (ss) burst. the numerology of the ss burst can be different from other parts of the waveform. this is specified via the block pattern parameter, as specified in ts 38.213 section 4.1. a bitmap specifies the blocks to transmit in a 5 ms half-frame burst. you can also set the periodicity in milliseconds and the power of the burst. for a full list of configurable ss burst properties, see .

% ss burst configuration
ssburst = nrwavegenssburstconfig;
ssburst.enable = 1;                     % enable ss burst
ssburst.power = 0;                      % power scaling in db
ssburst.blockpattern = 'case b';        % case b (30khz) subcarrier spacing
ssburst.transmittedblocks = [1 1 1 1];  % bitmap indicating blocks transmitted in a 5ms half-frame burst
ssburst.period = 20;                    % ss burst set periodicity in ms (5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160)
ssburst.ncrbssb = [];                   % frequency offset of ss burst (crb), use [] for the waveform center

bwps

a bwp is formed by a set of contiguous resources sharing a numerology on a given scs carrier. you can define multiple bwps using a cell array. each element in the cell array of objects defines a bwp. for each bwp, you can specify the scs, the cyclic prefix (cp) length, and the bandwidth. the subcarrierspacing property links the bwp to one of the scs specific carriers defined earlier. the nstartbwp property controls the location of the bwp in the carrier, relative to point a. nstartbwp is expressed in common resource blocks (crb) in terms of the bwp numerology. different bwps can overlap with each other.

% bwp configurations
bwp = {nrwavegenbwpconfig,nrwavegenbwpconfig};
bwp{1}.bandwidthpartid = 1;        % bwp id
bwp{1}.label = 'bwp 1 @ 15 khz';   % label for this bwp
bwp{1}.subcarrierspacing = 15;     % bwp subcarrier spacing
bwp{1}.cyclicprefix = 'normal';    % bwp cyclic prefix for 15 khz
bwp{1}.nsizebwp = 25;              % size of bwp in prbs
bwp{1}.nstartbwp = 12;             % position of bwp, relative to point a, in crbs
bwp{2}.bandwidthpartid = 2;        % bwp id
bwp{2}.label = 'bwp 2 @ 30 khz';   % label for this bwp
bwp{2}.subcarrierspacing = 30;     % bwp subcarrier spacing
bwp{2}.cyclicprefix = 'normal';    % bwp cyclic prefix for 30 khz
bwp{2}.nsizebwp = 50;              % size of bwp in prbs
bwp{2}.nstartbwp = 51;             % position of bwp, relative to point a, in crbs

coreset and search space configuration

specify the coreset and the pdcch search space configuration. the coreset and search spaces specify the possible locations (in time and frequency) of the control channel transmissions for a given numerology. each element in the cell array of objects defines a coreset and each element in the cell array of objects defines a search space.

set these parameters for each coreset and search space.

  • the ofdm symbols which specify the first symbol of each coreset monitoring opportunity in a slot.

  • the duration of the block of allocated slots within a period.

  • periodicity of the allocation pattern.

  • the coreset duration in symbols, either 1, 2 or 3.

  • a bitmap defining the allocated physical resource blocks (prb) of the coreset. the coreset frequency allocation is defined in blocks of 6 prbs, aligned in crb numbering, relative to point a. each bit in the bitmap selects all 6 prbs in the crb aligned block that contains it.

  • cce-to-reg mapping which can be 'interleaved' or 'noninterleaved'.

  • resource element group (reg) bundle size (l), either (2,6) or (3,6), based on coreset duration.

  • interleaver size, either 2, 3, or 6.

  • shift index, a scalar value in the range 0...274.

the figure below shows the meaning of some of the coreset parameters.

coresets and sets of prb can be specified for rate matching around, if required

  • the pdsch can be rate matched around one or more coresets.

  • the pdsch can be rate matched around other resource allocations.

pdsch{1}.dmrspower = 0;                    % additional power boosting in db
pdsch{1}.dmrs.dmrsconfigurationtype = 2;   % dm-rs configuration type (1,2)
pdsch{1}.dmrs.numcdmgroupswithoutdata = 1; % number of dm-rs cdm groups without data. the value can be one of the set {1,2,3}

pdsch{1}.dmrs.nidnscid = 1;                % scrambling identity (0...65535)
pdsch{1}.dmrs.nscid = 0;                   % scrambling initialization (0,1)

pdsch pt-rs configuration

set the pt-rs parameters.

% pt-rs configuration (ts 38.211 section 7.4.1.2)
pdsch{1}.enableptrs = 0;             % enable or disable the pt-rs (1 or 0)
pdsch{1}.ptrspower = 0;              % additional pt-rs power boosting in db
pdsch{1}.ptrs.timedensity = 1;       % time density (l_pt-rs) of pt-rs (1,2,4)

when pt-rs is enabled, the dm-rs ports must be in the range from 0 to 3 for dm-rs configuration type 1, and in the range from 0 to 5 for dm-rs configuration type 2. nominally, the antenna port of pt-rs is the lowest dm-rs port number.

specifying multiple pdsch instances

csi-rs instances configuration

this section configures csi-rs in the waveform. each element in the cell array of objects defines a set of csi-rs resources associated with a bwp. define two disabled sets of csi-rs resources.

set these parameters for a set of csi-rs resources.

  • enable or disable this set of csi-rs resources.

  • specify a label for this set of csi-rs resources.

  • specify the bwp carrying this set of csi-rs resources. the csi-rs resource(s) configuration uses the scs specified for this bwp.

  • specify the power scaling in db. providing a scalar defines the power scaling for a single csi-rs resource or all configured csi-rs resources. providing a vector defines a separate power level for each of the csi-rs resources.

csirs = {nrwavegencsirsconfig};
csirs{1}.enable = 0;
csirs{1}.label = 'csi-rs @ 15 khz';
csirs{1}.bandwidthpartid = 1;

  • type of csi-rs resource(s) ('nzp','zp').

  • row number corresponds to csi-rs resource(s) as defined in ts 38.211 table 7.4.1.5.3-1 (1...18).

  • frequency density of csi-rs resource(s). it can be 'one', 'three', 'dot5even', or 'dot5odd'.

  • subcarrier locations of csi-rs resource(s) within a resource block (rb)

  • number of rbs allocated to csi-rs resource(s) (1...275).

  • starting rb index of csi-rs resource(s) allocation relative to the carrier resource grid (0...274).

  • ofdm symbol locations of csi-rs resource(s) within a slot.

  • the period and offset of slots (0-based) of csi-rs resource(s). this parameter can be a vector or a cell array of vectors. in the latter case, each cell corresponds to an individual csi-rs resource. in case of a vector, the same set of slots is used for all csi-rs resources.

  • scrambling identity corresponds to csi-rs resource(s) for pseudo-random sequence generation (0...1023).

csirs{1}.csirstype = {'nzp','zp'};
csirs{1}.rownumber = [3 5];
csirs{1}.density = {'one','one'};
csirs{1}.subcarrierlocations = {6 4};
csirs{1}.numrb = 25;
csirs{1}.rboffset = 12;
csirs{1}.symbollocations = {13 9};
csirs{1}.csirsperiod = {[5 0], [5 0]};
csirs{1}.nid = 5;

specifying multiple csi-rs instances

csirs{2}.rboffset = 50;
csirs{2}.symbollocations = {6 10};
csirs{2}.csirsperiod = {[10 1], [10 1]};
csirs{2}.nid = 0;

waveform generation

assign all the channel and signal parameters into the main carrier configuration object nrdlcarrierconfig, then generates and plot the waveform.

waveconfig.ssburst = ssburst;
waveconfig.scscarriers = scscarriers;
waveconfig.bandwidthparts = bwp;
waveconfig.coreset = coresets;
waveconfig.searchspaces = searchspaces;
waveconfig.pdcch = pdcch;
waveconfig.pdsch = pdsch;
waveconfig.csirs = csirs;
% generate complex baseband waveform
[waveform,info] = nrwaveformgenerator(waveconfig);

plot the magnitude of the baseband waveform for the set of antenna ports defined.

figure;
plot(abs(waveform));
title('magnitude of 5g downlink baseband waveform');
xlabel('sample index');
ylabel('magnitude');

plot the spectogram of the waveform for the first antenna port.

samplerate = info.resourcegrids(1).info.samplerate;
nfft = info.resourcegrids(1).info.nfft;
figure;
spectrogram(waveform(:,1),ones(nfft,1),0,nfft,'centered',samplerate,'yaxis','minthreshold',-130);
title('spectrogram of 5g downlink baseband waveform');

the waveform generator function returns the time-domain waveform and a structure info. the info structure contains the underlying resource element grid and a breakdown of the resources that all the pdsch and pdcch instances use in the waveform.

the resourcegrids field is a structure array, which contains these fields.

  • the resource grid corresponding to each bwp.

  • the resource grid of the overall bandwidth containing the channels and signals in each bwp.

  • an info structure with information corresponding to each bwp. for example, display the information of the first bwp.

disp('modulation information associated with bwp 1:')
disp(info.resourcegrids(1).info)
modulation information associated with bwp 1:
                   nfft: 4096
             samplerate: 61440000
    cyclicprefixlengths: [320 288 288 288 288 288 288 320 288 288 288 ... ]
          symbollengths: [4416 4384 4384 4384 4384 4384 4384 4416 4384 ... ]
              windowing: 0
           symbolphases: [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
         symbolsperslot: 14
       slotspersubframe: 1
          slotsperframe: 10
                     k0: 0

the generated resource grid is a 3-d matrix. the different planes in the grid represent the antenna ports in increasing port number order.
