Overview about 5G PDSCH Multiplexing with PDSCH DMRS

πŸ’‘ What is it?
PDSCH Multiplexing simply means leveraging the free resources within the PDSCH DMRS Symbol for optimal PDSCH utilization.

πŸ“ˆExpected Gain:
Experience an increase in the maximum user throughput for users in good radio conditions.

🚫 Expected Drawbacks:
There's always a tradeoff. Be mindful of the impact on EDGE Users due to the DRMS power boosting. "The free resources power was being used for other RS, which was increasing DMRS power by around 2~3dB"

🚧 Important Note:
PDSCH Multiplexing is a no-go for Rank 3, Rank 4, and MU-MIMO Users, as all 4 ports will be utilized for DMRS.
