5G NR PUCCH Format 0 Performance Simulation

This repository provides a comprehensive MATLAB simulation for 5G NR PUCCH Format 0 performance metrics, including ACK detection and DTX behavior.

Simulations Included

1. ACK Missed Detection (ACK_missed_F0.m):
   • Measures the probability that a transmitted ACK is not detected or incorrectly decoded.
2. DTX to ACK Probability (DTX_to_ACK_F0.m):
   • Measures the false alarm rate where noise is incorrectly detected as an ACK signal when nothing was transmitted (Discontinuous Transmission).

Technical Specifications

• Waveform: 5G NR PUCCH Format 0.
• Channel: TDL-C fading model (300ns delay spread, 100Hz Doppler).
• Antennas: 1 TX antenna and 2 RX antennas.
• Threshold-based Detection: Uses a configurable threshold (default: 0.55).

Helper Functions

The simulations rely on the following custom functions:

• mynrPUCCH0.m: For signal generation.
• mynrPUCCHDecode.m: For signal detection and UCI decoding.

How to Run

1. Clone the repository.
2. Open MATLAB (ensure 5G Toolbox is installed).
3. Run either ACK_missed_F0.m or DTX_to_ACK_F0.m to see the performance plots.
