- You specify which slots are used for uplink transmissions. The SlotAllocation array determines which slots are allocated for uplink within the TDD frame.
- The SymbolAllocation specifies which symbols within a slot are used for uplink. For the special subframe, you set this to start at a specific symbol and include the desired number of uplink symbols.
- The 5G Toolbox allows for significant customization of TDD patterns, but the specific pattern must comply with the overall TDD configuration rules.

Hi Matlab,
3GPP UL waveforms when generated from 5G Toolboxes, fill only slots which is defined from 3GPP. we also need special subframe with 4 symbols UL enabled. Let me know if we can fill special subrame when exact UL symbols.
// Matlab outputs :
hNRReferenceWaveformGenerator(ulnrref,bw,scs,dm,ncellid);
G-FR1-A1-5, 100MHz, 30kHz, TDD, 1
ulrefwaveformgen.Config.PUSCH{1, 1}.SymbolAllocation = [0,14]
ulrefwaveformgen.Config.PUSCH{1, 1}.SlotAllocation = [8,9,18,19]
// 3GPP defined TDD pattern.

Hi Madhusoodan,
To incorporate special subframes with 4 uplink symbols in a 5G NR TDD configuration using MATLAB's 5G Toolbox, you'll need to customize the TDD pattern to accommodate the specific requirement of having a special subframe. The 5G Toolbox provides flexibility in configuring the TDD pattern, but it requires manual adjustments to the slot and symbol allocation.
Here's a step-by-step approach to achieve this:
Step 1: Understand the TDD Pattern
The TDD pattern is defined by a combination of downlink slots, uplink slots, and special subframes. The special subframes can include a mix of downlink, guard, and uplink symbols. In your case, you want a special subframe with 4 uplink symbols.
Step 2: Customize the TDD Configuration
You will need to adjust the SymbolAllocation and SlotAllocation properties in the configuration to reflect your desired TDD pattern.
Step 3: Modify the MATLAB Configuration
Here's how you can modify the configuration to include a special subframe with 4 uplink symbols:
% Define the uplink reference waveform configuration
ulnrref = 'G-FR1-A1-5';
bw = 100; % Bandwidth in MHz
scs = 30; % Subcarrier spacing in kHz
dm = 'TDD'; % Duplex mode
ncellid = 1; % Cell ID
% Generate the reference waveform
ulrefwaveformgen = hNRReferenceWaveformGenerator(ulnrref, bw, scs, dm, ncellid);
% Modify the PUSCH configuration to include special subframe
% Assuming you want the special subframe in the 10th slot
ulrefwaveformgen.Config.PUSCH{1, 1}.SymbolAllocation = [0, 14]; % Full slot allocation
ulrefwaveformgen.Config.PUSCH{1, 1}.SlotAllocation = [8, 9, 18, 19]; % Example slot allocation
% Add a special subframe with 4 uplink symbols
specialSlotIndex = 10; % Define the slot index for the special subframe
specialSymbolAllocation = [10, 4]; % Start at symbol 10, with 4 uplink symbols
% Update the configuration for the special subframe
ulrefwaveformgen.Config.PUSCH{1, 2}.SymbolAllocation = specialSymbolAllocation;
ulrefwaveformgen.Config.PUSCH{1, 2}.SlotAllocation = specialSlotIndex;
% Generate the waveform
[ulWaveform, ulInfo] = ulrefwaveformgen();
% Display the configuration
disp(ulrefwaveformgen.Config);
