DCI Decode

Decoding downlink control information (DCI).

dci decode

Description

The DCI Decode block decodes the PDCCHBits input programme bits in accordance with sections 7.3.4, 7.3.3 and 7.3.2 of TS 38.212 to output the decoded DCI bits.

Processing includes polar decoding and CRC decoding.

Ports

Input

PDCCHBits - sequence of bits to encode the block
matrix

Bit sequence for block encoding DCI Decode.

  • Data type: Float64.

SSBInd - MIB information and parameters for the block
vector

MIB information and parameters for the block (NID structure and cell identifier ncelid) as a vector with integer values.

Data types: Int64.

Output

DCIBits - DCI output message
matrix

Decoded sequence of DCI bits.

Data types: Int64.
