lteCellRSIndices

CRS resource element indices

Syntax

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb)

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,opts)

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,ports)

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,ports,opts)

Description

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb) returns a column vector of resource element (RE) indices for the cell-specific reference signal (RS), given the cell-wide settings in the enb structure. By default, the indices are returned in 1-based linear indexing form that can directly index elements of a 3-D array representing the subframe resource grid for all antenna ports. These indices are ordered as the reference signal modulation symbols should be mapped. Unlike other physical channels and signals, the indices for multiple antennas are concatenated into a single column rather than returned in a matrix with a column for each antenna. The indices for each antenna are concatenated because the number of indices varies across the antenna ports.

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,opts) returns RE indices in a format specified by opts.

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,ports) returns RE indices for antenna ports specified in the vector ports. In this case, the CellRefP field of enb is ignored, and ports is used instead.

ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,ports,opts) returns RE indices for the specified antenna ports and formatting options.

Examples

Generate Cell-Specific Reference Signal RE Indices

Generate zero-based cell-specific reference signal (CRS) resource element (RE) indices in subscript form for antenna port 2.

enb = lteRMCDL('R.0');
enb.NCellID = 10;
ind = lteCellRSIndices(enb,2,{'0based','sub'});
ind(1:4,:)

ans = 4x3 uint32 matrix

    4    1    2
   10    1    2
   16    1    2
   22    1    2

In this case, each row of the generated matrix has three columns, which represent subcarrier, symbol, and antenna port, respectively.

Input Arguments

enb — eNodeB cell-wide settings

structure

eNodeB cell-wide settings, specified as a structure containing these parameter fields:

Parameter Field	Required or Optional	Values	Description
NDLRB	Required	Scalar integer from 6 to 110	Number of downlink resource blocks ($$N_{\text{RB}}^{\text{DL}}$$)
NCellID	Required	Integer from 0 to 503	Physical layer cell identity
CellRefP	Required	1, 2, 4	Number of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports
CyclicPrefix	Optional	'Normal' (default), 'Extended'	Cyclic prefix length
DuplexMode	Optional	'FDD' (default), 'TDD'	Duplexing mode, specified as either: 'FDD' for Frequency Division Duplex 'TDD' for Time Division Duplex

The following parameters are dependent upon the condition that DuplexMode is set to 'TDD'.
Nsubframe	Required	0 (default), nonnegative scalar integer	Subframe number
TDDConfig	Optional	0, 1 (default), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6	Uplink–downlink configuration
SSC	Optional	0 (default), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9	Special subframe configuration (SSC)

ports — Antenna ports

numeric vector

Antenna ports, specified as a numeric vector whose elements must be (0, 1, 2, 3).

opts — Index generation options

character vector | cell array of character vectors | string array

Index generation options, specified as a character vector, cell array of character vectors, or string array. For convenience, you can specify several options as a single character vector or string scalar by a space-separated list of values placed inside the quotes. Values for opts when specified as a character vector include (use double quotes for string):

Option	Values	Description
Indexing style	'ind' (default), 'sub'	Style for the returned indices, specified as one of the following options. 'ind' — returns the indices in linear index form as a column vector (default) 'sub' — returns the indices in [subcarrier, symbol, antenna] subscript row style. The number of rows in the output, ind, is the number of resource elements (NRE). Thus, ind is an NRE-by-3 matrix.
Index base	'1based' (default), '0based'	Base value of the returned indices. Specify '1based' to generate indices where the first value is 1. Specify '0based' to generate indices where the first value is 0.

Example: 'ind 0based', "ind 0based", {'ind','0based'}, ["ind","0based"] specify the same formatting options.

Data Types: char | string | cell

Output Arguments

ind — Cell-specific reference signal RE indices

column vector | numeric matrix

Cell-specific reference signal RE indices, returned as a column vector. Optionally, can be returned as an NRE-by-3 matrix.

Data Types: uint32
