Cell Parameters PRACH (EUTRA/eMTC)

For Waveform Playback (ARB) capability.

This topic describes the settings of the Cell Parameters node.

System Bandwidth

Total Number of Resource Blocks

Total Number of Occupied Subcarriers

Subcarrier Spacing

Number of Subcarriers for Resource Block

PRACH DFT Swap

System Bandwidth

This setting specifies the system bandwidth. GUI labels also indicate the number of Resource Blocks (RB).

When the system bandwidth is changed, the software automatically adjusts the value in the Total number of Resource Blocks cell, the Total number of Occupied Sub-carriers cell and so on.

Note: The resource blocks and some parameters are reconfigured by changing the System Bandwidth parameter.

In the case (1) or (2), auto configuration is done for Frequency Offset.

(1) When any action "Add Carrier" or "Delete Carrier" or Change System BW is done and Auto Carrier Aggregation Configuration parameter is On.

(2) When Auto Carrier Aggregation Configuration parameter is changed to On from Off.

If Auto Carrier Aggregation Configuration is set to off, auto configuration does not work.

PRACH DFT Swap

This setting specifies the state of PRACH DFT Swap.

PRACH DFT Swap influences how data is mapped to resource elements in the physical uplink shared channel after discrete Fourier transform is performed. PRACH DFT Swap can be turned on or off to provide two different interpretations of how data should be mapped to resource elements in PRACH channels.
