nrPUSCHConfig

PUSCH configuration parameters

Description

The nrPUSCHConfig object sets physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configuration parameters, as defined in TS 38.211 Sections 6.3.1, 6.4.1.1, and 6.4.1.2 [1].This object bundles all the properties involved in the PUSCH processing chain, including scrambling, symbol modulation, layer mapping, transform precoding, MIMO precoding, and resource element mapping. The object also contains properties to determine the number of resources for the uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing and associated physical reference signals, such as demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) and phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS).

By default, the object configures the physical uplink shared channel with cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) occupying a 10 MHz bandwidth, at 15 kHz subcarrier spacing (52 resource blocks) and spanning over 14 OFDM symbols in a slot.

Creation

Description

pusch = nrPUSCHConfig creates a PUSCH configuration object with default properties.
