    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
