Creation

Syntax

cfgEHTTB = wlanEHTTBConfig

cfgEHTTB = wlanEHTTBConfig(Name=Value)

Description

cfgEHTTB = wlanEHTTBConfig creates a configuration object that initializes parameters for an IEEE^® 802.11™ EHT TB PPDU. For a detailed description of the EHT WLAN formats, see IEEE P802.11be™/D5.0 [1].

cfgEHTTB = wlanEHTTBConfig(Name=Value) sets properties using one or more name-value arguments.

Properties

ChannelBandwidth — Channel bandwidth of PPDU transmission

"CBW20" (default) | "CBW40" | "CBW80" | "CBW160" | "CBW320"

Channel bandwidth of PPDU transmission, specified as one of these values.

• "CBW20" — Channel bandwidth of 20 MHz

• "CBW40" — Channel bandwidth of 40 MHz

• "CBW80" — Channel bandwidth of 80 MHz

• "CBW160" — Channel bandwidth of 160 MHz

• "CBW320" — Channel bandwidth of 320 MHz

Data Types: char | string

RUSize — Resource unit size

242 (default) | positive integer | row vector of positive integers

Resource unit size, specified as a positive integer or a row vector of positive integers. If the resource unit (RU) is a multiple resource unit (MRU), RUSize is a vector with entries given by the sizes of the RUs that compose the MRU. Otherwise, RUSize is a scalar. The possible RU sizes are 26, 52, 106, 242, 484, 996, 1992, and 3984.

If the RU is an MRU, each element of the row vector must be equal to one of 26, 52, 106, 242, 484, or 996.

Data Types: double

RUIndex — Resource unit index

1 (default) | integer in the range [1, 148] | row vector of integers in the range [1, 148]

Resource unit index, specified as an integer in the range [1, 148] or a row vector of such integers. If the RU is an MRU, RUIndex is a vector with entries given by the indices of the RUs that compose the MRU. Otherwise, RUIndex is a scalar. Use this property to indicate the location of the RU within the channel.

Example: An 80 MHz transmission has four possible 242-tone RUs, one in each 20 MHz subchannel. RU 242-1 (RUSize = 242, RUIndex = 1) is the RU occupying the lowest absolute frequency within the 80MHz, and RU 242-4 (RUSize = 242, RUIndex = 4) is the RU occupying the highest absolute frequency.

Data Types: double

PreEHTPowerScalingFactor — Power scaling factor for pre-EHT fields

1 (default) | real scalar in the range [1/√2, 1]

Power scaling factor for pre-EHT fields, specified as a real scalar in the range [1/√2, 1].

Data Types: double

NumTransmitAntennas — Number of transmit antennas

1 (default) | positive integer

Number of transmit antennas, specified as a positive integer.

Data Types: double

PreEHTCyclicShifts — Cyclic shift values of additional transmit antennas

−75 (default) | integer in the range [−200, 0] | row vector

Cyclic shift values, in nanoseconds, of additional transmit antennas for the pre-EHT fields of the waveform. The first eight antennas use the cyclic shift values specified in Table 21-10 of IEEE Std 802.11-2020 [2]. The remaining L antennas use the values that you specify in this property, where L = NumTransmitAntennas – 8. Specify this property as one of these values:

• An integer in the range [−200, 0] — The wlanEHTTBConfig object uses this cyclic shift value for each of the L additional antennas.

• A row vector of length L of integers in the range [−200, 0] — The wlanEHTTBConfig object uses the kth element as the cyclic shift value for the (k + 8)th transmit antenna.

  Note

  If you specify this property as a row vector of length greater than L, the wlanEHTTBConfig object uses only the first L elements. For example, if you set the NumTransmitAntennas property to 16, the wlanEHTTBConfig object uses only the first L = 16 – 8 = 8 elements of this vector.

Dependencies

To enable this property, set the NumTransmitAntennas property to a value greater than 8.

Data Types: double

NumSpaceTimeStreams — Number of space-time streams

1 (default) | integer in the interval [1, 8]

Number of space-time streams in the transmission, specified as an integer in the interval [1, 8].

Data Types: double

StartingSpaceTimeStream — Starting space-time stream index

1 (default) | integer in the interval [1, 8]

Starting space-time stream index, in one-based form, specified as an integer in the interval [1, 8]. In a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) configuration with multiple users on the same RU, each user must transmit on a distinct space-time stream. In this case, you must set this property and the NumSpaceTimeStreams property to ensure that each space-time stream transmits at most one user.

Data Types: double

SpatialMapping — Spatial mapping scheme

"direct" (default) | "hadamard" | "fourier" | "custom"

Spatial mapping scheme, specified as "direct", "hadamard", "fourier", or "custom".

Data Types: char | string | enumeration

SpatialMappingMatrix — Spatial mapping matrix

1 (default) | complex-valued scalar | complex-valued matrix | complex-valued 3-D array

Spatial mapping matrix, specified as one of these values:

• A complex-valued scalar. This value applies to all the subcarriers.

• A complex-valued matrix of size N_STSTotal -by-N_T, where:

  • N_STSTotal is the sum of the number of the space-time streams for all users assigned to the RU.

  • N_T is the number of transmit antennas.

  In this case, the spatial mapping matrix applies to all the subcarriers.

• A complex-valued 3-D array of size N_ST-by-N_STSTotal-by-N_T, where N_ST is the number of occupied carriers and is determined by the RUSize property. In this case, each occupied subcarrier has its own spatial mapping matrix.

Use this property to rotate and scale the output vector of the constellation mapper. The spatial mapping matrix is used for beamforming and mixing space-time streams over the transmit antennas. The calling function normalizes the spatial mapping matrix for each subcarrier.

Example: [0.6 0.2; 0.5 0.4; 0.5 0.9] represents a spatial mapping matrix with three space-time streams and two transmit antennas.

Dependencies

This property applies only when you set the SpatialMapping property to "custom".

Alternatively, specify this input as a binary-valued scalar or column vector of arbitrary length. If the length of this property is less than n, the waveform generator loops the vector to create a vector of length n. If the length of this property is greater than n, the function uses only the first n entries as the post-FEC padding bits.
