For PUCCH format 2 and 3, it is possible that a second interlace (Interlace1) may be configured. In this case, select Interlace1 Configured and set the index of the interlace used for Interlace1.
Interlaced transmission also affects the cyclic shift hopping sequence initialization.
Default: disabled
Interlace1 Configured - When selected, indicates that a second interlace (Interlace1) is configured. Use Interlace1 to set the index of Interlace1.
Default: disabled
Allocated Slots - Sets an array of slot indexes allocated for this physical channel.
Default: 0

The spreading rate is typically at least 100x the information rate. or, 2) Sample Rate: rate at which samples are taken from an input signal or, 3) Scheduling Request+CSI1. For PUCCH Formats 2, 3 and 4, it is possible CSI2 bits are part of the transmission. CSI2 bits are encoded separately under CSI2 Bit Size, therefore this payload size should not contain CIS2 bits.
Default: 24
First Symbol - Sets the first symbol index in a slot used by the physical channel.
Default: 13
Range: 0-13
Last Symbol - Sets the last symbol index in a slot used by the physical channel.
Default: 13

RB Offset - Sets the start index of resource block assigned to the physical channel. This value specifies the RB starting point within the containing resource allocation.

RB Number - Sets the number of RBs for the measurement. This value specifies the RB starting point within the containing resource allocation.
Default: 1 RB
|
The RB Number settings for the PUSCH and PUCCH physical channels are constrained by the UL-BWP RB Number setting value. |
|
|
Currently the VSA only supports continuous physical RB allocation. |
Max Code Rate (PUCCH Format 2, 3 and 4 only) - Sets the value used to calculate the rate-matched bit size of CSI1 & CSI2. Max Code Rate must be set correctly for successful decoding.
Default: 0.80
CSI2 Bit Size (PUCCH Formats 2, 3 and 4 only) - When enabled, sets the payload size of CSI2.
Default: 1
RB-Set Index - Sets a value indicating the RB set used by this PUCCH when Interlaced Transmission is used. This value indicates the index of the RB set on which this PUCCH is allocated.
When the New Radio carrier is in unlicensed spectrum, it is possible that some segments of the spectrum are not available for New Radio signal transmission. These segments are defined as Intra-Cell guard bands. These guard bands divide the whole carrier into several RB sets: at most there can be 4 guard bands and 5 RB sets. See IntraCellGuardBand-r16 in the Configuration > Bandwidth panel for more information.
Default: 0
Range: 0-4
Interlace0 - Sets a value indicating the index of Interlace0 used by this PUCCH when Interlaced Transmission is true (selected).
Multiple interlaces are defined for the 15kHz and 30kHz numerologies. For Numerology 15kHz, 10 interlaces are defined. For Numerology 30kHz, 5 interlaces are defined.
Default: 0
Interlace1 - Sets a value indicating the index of the second interlace, Interlace1, used by this PUCCH when Interlaced Transmission and Interlace1 Configured are true (selected).
Multiple interlaces are defined for the 15kHz and 30kHz numerologies. For Numerology 15kHz, 10 interlaces are defined. For Numerology 30kHz, 5 interlaces are defined.

Default: 0
Sequence Cyclic Shift (mcs) (PUCCH Format 0 only) - Sets mcs for the PUCCH as a single value, or as a series of comma-separated, repeating values to set a different mcs for each slot.
Sequence Cyclic Shift (mcs) is only needed when this Format 0 PUCCH overlaps with other Format 0 PUCCHs. There may be two or more overlapping PUCCHs with Format 0; mcs needs to be set correctly for all overlapping PUCCHs. If you know the payload bits (1 or 2 bit HARQ-ACK Acknowledgement value), set the PUCCH mcs value according to 3GPP TS Technical Specification 38.213 Tables 9.2.3-3, 9.2.3-4, 9.2.5-1 and 9.2.5-2 (shown below).

When two or more Format 0 PUCCHs have overlapping resources, only the last PUCCH (with biggest index) in the Frame Summary will show an EVM Error vector magnitude (EVM): A quality metric in digital communication systems. See the EVM metric in the Error Summary Table topic in each demodulator for more information on how EVM is calculated for that modulation format. value, and it is the composite EVM of all the overlapping PUCCHs. |
