- new function has been introduced for the computation of UL SNR
- minor bugfix to noise power computation
- FAPI data type for referenceSignalPower has been updated to reflect the
range of values for the SSB power
- removed commented out code
- improved logging in UL channel estimation
- minor fixes according to OAI coding guidelines
- moving fetching TDD configuration parameters in nr-ue.c only in TDD case
- CDM groups used, multiple DMRS locations tested
- REMOVED compiler define NR_SC_FDMA
- enabled -Z option in ulsim for testing NR SC-FDMA
- Gnb UL Processing of LLRS even if last symbol allocated has no data
- transform precoding Enumerations used
- Most DL code is reused for Ul also to reduce code duplication
- Common CPE calculation function is used for error estimation
- Common slot processing function is used for inter/extrapolation
- Removed old implementation dedicated to UL
- updated return function value to -1
- removed static variable for dmrs symbol selection for channel
- Updated sin cos quadrant check conditions
- removed casting from PTRS slope and related calculations
- To enable PTRS use -T flag followed by 3 integers
- Example: ./nr_ulsim -T 2 0 2
- 1st Value is the list of arguments -> e.g. 2
- 2nd Value is for L_PTRS{0,1,2} -> e.g. 0
- 3rd Value is for K_PTRS{2,4} -> e.g. 2
FEATURE STATEMENT:
- Introduce linear phase error noise model in Uplink at UE
- Perform common phase error (CPE) estimation and compensation at gNB
SOLUTION:
- A linear phase shift model is introduced in simulation.
- PTRS symbols are used to perform estimation of CPE from DMRS compensated signal
- The estimated values are interpolated in time domain and signal is compensated for the CPE.
- PTRS processing is done in Frequency Domain for each symbol in a slot and
LLR's are calculated for each symbol accordingly.
IMPLEMENTATION:
* sim.h/channle_sim.c
- Linear Phase Noise Generation model definition.
* nr_ul_channel_estimation.c/nr_ul_estimation.h
- CPE estimation from PTRS and DMRS compensated signal.
* nr_dmrs_rx.c/nr_refsig.h
- Regenerate PTRS symbols at gNB.
* nr_ulsch_demodulation.c
- Removed old PTRS processing code and move to a common PTRS processing function
* defs_gNB.h/init.c
- New PTRS variables definition and initialization
* nr_ulsch_ue.c
- Corrected PTRS parameter to get new PTRS symbols for each OFDM symbol
TESTING
* ulsim.c
- Added Phase noise, Enable PTRS signal and verified the output.
VERIFICATION
- The LLR are rotated back with estimated CPE and no error is observed in scrambling/decoding
