Syntax

pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,chs,hest,noiseest)
pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,chs,hest,noiseest,refgrid)
pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,chs,hest,noiseest,refgrid,cec)

Description

pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,chs,hest,noiseest) performs PUSCH precoder matrix indication (PMI) calculation for given UE-specific settings, ue, channel configuration structure, chs, channel estimate resource array, hest, and receiver noise variance, noiseest. The output, pmi, is a scalar containing the PMI selected for closed-loop transmission.

hest is a 4-D array of size M-by-N-by-NRxAnts-by-NTxAnts, where M is the number of subcarriers, N is the number of SC-FDMA symbols, NRxAnts is the number of receive antennas, and NTxAnts is the number of transmit antennas.

noiseest is a scalar, an estimate of the received noise power spectral density.

example

pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,chs,hest,noiseest,refgrid) provides an additional input refgrid, a 3-D M-by-N-by-NTxAnts array containing known transmitted data symbols in their correct locations. All other locations i.e. DRS Symbols and unknown data symbol locations should be represented by a NaN. This is the same array as the additional refgrid input described for the lteULChannelEstimate function. For PMI selection the symbols in refgrid are ignored, but the non-NaN RE locations are used as RE locations at which to sample the channel estimate and perform PMI estimation. This approach can be used to provide a refgrid containing for example the SRS RE locations created on all NTxAnts, allowing for full-rank channel estimation for the purposes of PMI selection when the PUSCH is transmitted with less than full rank.

pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,chs,hest,noiseest,refgrid,cec) accepts channel estimator configuration structure cec containing the field Reference.

Reference = 'None' will generate no internal reference signals, and the PMI estimation can be performed on arbitrary known REs as given by the refgrid argument. This approach can be used to provide a refgrid containing for example the SRS signals created on all NTxAnts, allowing for full-rank PMI estimation for the purposes of PMI selection when the PUSCH is transmitted with less than full rank. Reference = 'Antennas' or Reference = 'Layers' will use the PUSCH DMRS RE indices as reference locations for PMI estimation; additional references can still be provided in refgrid.

This example creates an empty resource grid for RMC A3-2 and amend it for MIMO configuration.

Initialize ue specific parameter structure and create an empty resource grid for RMC A3-2 and amend it for MIMO configuration.

ue = lteRMCUL('A3-2');
ue.NTxAnts = 4; 
ue.PUSCH.NLayers = 2;
rgrid = lteULResourceGrid(ue);
rgrid(ltePUSCHDRSIndices(ue,ue.PUSCH)) = ltePUSCHDRS(ue,ue.PUSCH);

Generate modulated waveform.

txWaveform = lteSCFDMAModulate(ue,rgrid);

Configure a fading channel.

chcfg.Seed = 100;
chcfg.DelayProfile = 'EPA';
chcfg.NRxAnts = 2;
chcfg.InitTime = 100;
chcfg.InitPhase = 'Random';
chcfg.ModelType = 'GMEDS';
chcfg.NTerms = 16;
chcfg.NormalizeTxAnts = 'On';
chcfg.NormalizePathGains = 'On';
chcfg.DopplerFreq = 50.0;
chcfg.MIMOCorrelation = 'Low';
chcfg.SamplingRate = 15360000;

Filter the transmit waveform through a fading channel and perform SC-FDMA demodulation.

rxWaveform = lteFadingChannel(chcfg,txWaveform);
rxSubframe = lteSCFDMADemodulate(ue,rxWaveform);

Estimate the corresponding channel and the noise power spectral density on the reference signal subcarriers.

cec = struct('FreqWindow',12,'TimeWindow',1,'InterpType','cubic');
cec.PilotAverage = 'UserDefined';
cec.Reference = 'Antennas';

[hest,noiseEst] = lteULChannelEstimate(ue,ue.PUSCH,cec,rxSubframe);

Use this estimate to calculate the precoder matrix indication (PMI).

pmi = lteULPMISelect(ue,ue.PUSCH,hest,noiseEst)
pmi =
