Enable coding for PDCCH in 5G NR Test models

In 5G Matlab toolbox, in Downlink test models a parameter in NR-FR1-TM3.1 named PDCCH.coding is set to zero in this test model and multiple others, Is this according to the 3gpp specs, or Is this a simplification made from 5g MATLAB toolbox?

Hi,

I have checked 3GPP TS 38.212 spec - [5G; NR; Multiplexing and channel coding] according to it, the coding for PDCCH involves specific procedures for polar coding and rate matching.

Hope this helps.
