Channel state Information reference signal (CSI-RS)

This module generates the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based on the inputs passed and map this signal to time-frequency (t-f) resource grid as per Section 7.4.1.5 of [3GPPTS38211_csirsRM]. THis resource grid can be orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) and transmitted over the wireless channels.

Generating CSI-RS Resource Grid:

subcarrierSpacing = 30000
startPRB          = 2
nrofPRBs          = 8
numSubcarriers    = 12*(nrofPRBs+startPRB)
Nfft              = 128

## CSI-RS Resource Configurations___
rowIndex          = 5
nrofPorts         = 4
density           = 1
cdmType           = "fd-CDM21"

## CSI-RS Parameters__________________________________________
scramblingID      = 13254
numSlotsPerFrame  = int(10*(subcarrierSpacing/15000))
slotNumber        = 5
#_____________________________________________________________


## Time and Frequency resources____________________
betaCSIRS                    = 1
firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain  = 2
firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2 = None
frequencyDomainAllocation    = np.array([0,0,1,0,0,0])

## CSI-RS Resource mapping
rmCSIRS   = ResourceMapperCSIRS(nrofPorts, density, cdmType, scramblingID, slotNumber)
csirsGrid = rmCSIRS(betaCSIRS, frequencyDomainAllocation, firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain,
                    firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2, nrofPRBs, startPRB, Nfft)

class toolkit5G.ResourceMapping.ResourceMapperCSIRS(nrofPorts, density, cdmType, scramblingID, slotNumber, frequencyDomainAllocation=None, firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain=0, firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2=None, rowIndex=None)[source]

Generates the resource grid for CSI-RS as per Section 7.4.3 [3GPPTS38211_SSBGrid].

Parameters:
  • nrofPorts (int) – Defines number of ports \(\in \{1,2,4,8,12,16,\) \(24,32\}\).

  • density (int) – Defines the density of CSI-RS \(\in \{0.5,1,3\}\).

  • cdmType (int) – Defines the CDM Type \(\in \{\text{"noCDM"}, \text{"fd-CDM2"}\), \(\text{"fd-CDM21"}, \text{"cdm4-FD2-TD2"}, \text{"cdm8-FD2-TD4"}\}\).

  • scramblingID (int) – Defines the scramblingID \(\in \{0,1,\dots,4095\}\).

  • slotNumber (int) – Defines the slot number within a frame \(n_{s,f}^{\mu} \in \{0,1,2,\) \(\dots,10*2^{\mu}-1\}\) where \({\mu = \frac{\Delta f}{15 kHz}}\).

  • frequencyDomainAllocation ([N,], int) – Defines frequencyDomainAllocation (default value = None) used for selecting \(k_i\). It is used for determining REs(Resource Elements) for the selected CSI-RS.

  • firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain (int) – Defines firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain (default value = 0) used for selecting \(l_0\). It is used for determining OFDM symbol Indices for the selected CSI-RS.

  • firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2 (int) – Defines firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2 (default value = None) used for selecting \(l_1\). It is used for determining OFDM symbol Indices for the selected CSI-RS.

Important

The combination of nrofPorts, density and cdmType shall be selected based on Table 7.4.1.5.3-1 of [3GPPTS38211_csirsRM].

Important

For row 5 and 7 of Table 7.4.1.5.3-1 from [3GPPTS38211_csirsRM] cdmType should be configured as “fd-CDM21”.

Input:
  • nrofPRBs (int) – Defines number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) allocated for CSI-RS transmission.

  • startPRB (int (default value = 0)) – Defines starting physical resource blocks (PRBs) from where next nrofPRBs are occupied by CSI-RS.

  • resourceGridSizeinRBs (int) – Defines the size of CSI-RS Resource Grid in units of resou (default value = None).

  • beta (float) – Defines power scaling factor (default value = 1) of CSI-RS.

[numBatches, nrofPorts, 14, numSubcarrier], np.complex64 – Channel state information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) Grid.
