    Syntax

    sym = nrPUCCHDMRS(carrier,pucch)
    sym = nrPUCCHDMRS(carrier,pucch,'OutputDataType',datatype)

    Description

    example

    sym = nrPUCCHDMRS(carrier,pucch) generates sym, which contains demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) symbols of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), as defined in TS 38.211 Section 6.4.1.3 [1], for all PUCCH formats. carrier specifies the carrier configuration. pucch specifies the PUCCH configuration. For PUCCH formats 1, 3, and 4, setting the GroupHopping property of pucch is set to 'disable' enables sequence hopping. In this case, the function selects a sequence number, which might be inappropriate for short base sequences. For PUCCH format 0, the function returns an empty value for sym.

    example

    sym = nrPUCCHDMRS(carrier,pucch,'OutputDataType',datatype) specifies the data type of the PUCCH symbols.

    Create a default carrier configuration object.

    carrier = nrCarrierConfig;

    Specify the number of RBs in the carrier resource grid as 50, the start of the carrier resource grid relative to CRB 0 as 120, and the slot number as 25.

    carrier.NSizeGrid = 50;
carrier.NStartGrid = 120;
carrier.NSlot = 25;

    Create a default PUCCH format 2 configuration object.

    pucch2 = nrPUCCH2Config;

    Specify the first symbol index in the PUCCH transmission slot as 7 and the number of allocated PUCCH symbols as 2. Set the PRBs allocated for the PUCCH to range from 40 to 45. Enable intraslot frequency hopping and set the starting PRB index of the second hop to 20. Specify the DM-RS scrambling identity as 1005.

    pucch2.SymbolAllocation = [7 2];
pucch2.PRBSet = 40:45;
pucch2.FrequencyHopping = 'intraSlot';
pucch2.SecondHopStartPRB = 20;
pucch2.NID0 = 1005;

    Generate the DM-RS symbols of PUCCH format 2.

    Create a default carrier configuration object.

    carrier = nrCarrierConfig;

    Specify the number of RBs in the carrier resource grid to 10.

    carrier.NSizeGrid = 10;

    Create a default PUCCH format 4 configuration object.

    pucch4 = nrPUCCH4Config;

    Set the first symbol index in the PUCCH transmission slot to 2 and the number of allocated PUCCH symbols to 12. Enable group hopping and the additional DM-RS configuration flag. Specify the hopping identity as 120, the spreading factor as 4, and the orthogonal cover code index (OCCI) as 3.
