DL-MMSE

Roberto Louro Magueta requested to merge develop-DL-improvements into develop

This MR is based on MR !2185 (merged)

  • Fix rxdataF_comp size in nr_rx_pdsch() function
  • Improvements in nr_dlsch_channel_compensation() function
  • Noise power estimation for DL at UE side
  • MMSE computation for DL at UE side

Theoretically, MMSE is better than ZF for low SNR, and then its performance converges as SNR increases. The results on the phy-simulators confirmed this. The gain for a frequency selective channel was not as great as for an AWGN channel. This probably happened because of the DCI, as the following LOGs appeared many times: [PHY] DCI false positive. Dropping DCI index 0. Mismatched bits: 284/864. Current DCI threshold: 205

Some results obtained in the phy-simulators were:
