W-CDMA (PRACH) Configuration Buttons

This section defines the W-CDMA/HSPA+ PRACH's buttons. These buttons are available in all of the W-CDMA/HSPA+ Uplink's (PRACH) tree nodes.

Restores all of the W-CDMA/HSPA+ channel's parameters to their default conditions.
Begins the PRACH transmission. This button is active when the PRACH Start Trigger Source is set to Trigger in the PRACH node.

1. General Settings

Data

Choice: PN9 | FIX4 | Custom Pattern | User File

Default: PN9

Sets the type of data to be inserted into RACH. For the User File selection: the data file must be the binary format and specify the bit length.

Block Size

Range: 0 to 5000

Default: 168

Sets the transport block size for RACH.

Number of Blocks

Range: 0 to 4095

Default: 1

Sets the number of transport blocks coded into RACH.

Coding Type

Indicates the type of channel coding for RACH.

TTI

Choice: 10 | 20 (ms)

Default: 20 ms

Sets the transmission time interval (TTI) for RACH.

Rate Matching Attribute

Indicates the rate match parameters of RACH.

CRC Length

Choice: 0 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 24

Default: 16

Sets the number of cyclic redundancy code (CRC) bits that are to be added to each transport channel block.

Bits Per Frame

Indicates the bits per frame for RACH.

Puncture Rate

Indicates the puncture rate removed from or added to the fully coded channel of RACH.

Maximum Puncture Rate

Indicates the allowed maximum puncture rate.

Bit Rate

Indicates the bit rate for RACH.

2. Error Insertion Settings

Error Insertion Mode

Choice: None | BER | BLER

Default: None

Sets the error insertion mode. The error insertion is available when the PRACH generation mode is set to "Single".

BLER

Range: 0 to 1 (Resolution 0.001)

Default: 0

Sets the inserted block error rate value.

BLER Error Blocks

Indicates the actual block errors inserted in the total number of blocks.

BLER Total Blocks

Indicates the total blocks inserted for the block error ratio calculation.

BER

Range: 0 to 1 (Resolution 0.0001)

Default: 0

Sets the bit error rate (BER) value for RACH.

BER Error Bits

Default: 0

Indicates the actual error bits inserted for the total number of bits.

BER Total Bits

Default: 0

Indicates the total number of bits inserted for the bit error rate (BER) calculation.
