PDSCH modulation.

blockType: PDSCHModulation

Path in the library:

/5G/PDSCH Modulation

Description

Block PDSCH Modulation creates a matrix containing the modulation symbols of the common physical downlink PDSCH, in accordance with sections 7.3.1.1-7.3.1.3 of the standard [1], taking into account the carrier configuration, the configuration of the PDSCH channel and the DL-SCH codewords. The block performs pre-encoding for PDSCH binding in accordance with section 5.1.2.3 of the standard [2] to obtain pre-encoded PDSCHSym characters and corresponding PDSCHInd indexes.

# CyclicPrefix — length of the cyclic prefix
Normal | Extended

Details

The length of the cyclic prefix. Options to choose from:

  • Normal — use this value to specify the usual cyclic prefix. This parameter corresponds to 14 OFDM symbols in the slot.

# Enable PRBSet — using a set of physically allocated resource blocks for data transfer
Logical

Details

Enable or disable the use of a set of physically allocated resource blocks for data transfer. If this option is selected, you can use the parameter PDSCH PRB allocation, which sets specific frequency resource ranges for transmitting signals or data at the physical layer in 5G NR. This parameter determines which blocks of the available frequency spectrum can be assigned to a channel. Using PDSCH PRB allocation It allows you to specify specific groups of frequency blocks and flexibly allocate frequency resources depending on communication requirements and network conditions.

Default value

false (switched off)

No

# PDSCH PRB allocation — frequency resource ranges

Details

Ranges of frequency resources that can be used to transmit signals or data at the physical layer.

Dependencies

To use this option, check the box Enable PRBSet.

Default value

0:7

Program usage name

# Enable or disable PT-RS — using phase change tracking signals
Logical

Details

Enable or disable the use of phase change tracking signals (PT-RS, Phase Tracking Reference Signal) in the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) channel in 5G NR. PT-RS is used to correct and compensate for phase noise caused by instabilities of the transmitter and receiver. It is especially useful at high modulation orders, such as 256QAM or 1024QAM where the influence of phase errors can be significant. The inclusion of PT-RS improves data transmission quality by increasing synchronization accuracy, especially in conditions of frequency interference or fast movement.

Default value

false (switched off)
