Auto Detection SS/PBCH Results (6GR)
The results tab lists the SS/PBCH configurations that auto detection found in the signal. It is read-only: these are measurement results, not settings. To apply them to the signal definition, use Copy To Setup; to configure SS/PBCH by hand, use the SS/PBCH tab of the Carrier Definition tab.
Parameters run down the left side of the table and each detected SS block is a column, so the blocks can be compared side by side. The detected cell identity is reported separately, in the Cell ID row of the Summary table.
A cell showing *** is a parameter the detector could not determine. It does not mean zero. Copy To Setup leaves such parameters unchanged in the signal definition.
The table updates when you press Refresh Detected, when a Run Auto Detection pass completes, and when the dialog box is reopened. It does not follow the sweep on its own, so what you see is always what will apply.
If nothing was detected, the table is replaced by . See Requirements and Limitations for the configurations auto detection does not run on.
Structure
Numerology - The numerology (subcarrier spacing) of the detected SS block.
This row is reported for comparison only and is not copied to the signal definition: an SS block always uses its carrier's numerology, so it is set by the resource grid rather than by the block. A detected numerology that differs from the configured one is a sign that the carrier is not set up for the signal you are measuring.
Pattern - The detected SS block time-position pattern (per 3GPP TS Technical Specification 38.213). See Pattern.
Lmax - The detected maximum number of SS blocks in a half frame.
Active Indexes - The SS block indexes found to be transmitted, shown as a list or range in the same form as the Active Indexes setting.
Periodicity - The detected SS burst transmission period.
Frequency Position
RB Offset - The resource-block offset of the detected SS block.
Subcarrier Offset - The additional subcarrier offset of the detected SS block.
If a detection pass succeeds only partly, the values reported for the parameters it could not determine are the ones currently configured on the SS/PBCH tab rather than measured values, and the number of columns is the number of configurations the detector rebuilt rather than the number it confirmed. A populated table is therefore not on its own proof of a successful SS/PBCH detection. If the reported values match what you configured and you expected them not to, check them against the Summary table and the 6GR Visualizer before relying on them.
