P-SS/S-SS Antenna Port (LTE-Advanced)

Default: Port 0

Range: Port 0, Port 1, Port 2, Port 3, All Port

P-SS/S-SS Antenna Port specifies the C-RS Cell-specific RS antenna port(s) that P-SS and S-SS are transmitted on. P-SS Primary Synchronization Signal and S-SS Secondary Synchronization Signal can be transmitted on a single antenna port or all the C-RS antenna ports at once.

When All Port is selected, the Power Boost value for P-SS and S-SS entered in the Basic Tab (Downlink Control Channel Properties) is assumed to be split equally among the transmit antennas.

For example, when P-SS Power Boost = 0.6 dB and P-SS/S-SS Antenna Port is set to All Port for a signal with four C-RS antenna ports, the demodulator will expect P-SS power on each antenna port to be 0.6 dB - 6.02 dB = -5.38 dB.

Otherwise, when Port 0, Port 1, Port 2, or Port 3 is selected, the entire power specified by the P-SS and S-SS Power Boost parameter is assumed to be transmitted on the selected antenna port.
