DwPTS/DwPCH Phase Pattern Entry

The main areas of the phase pattern data type entry window are:

This Data Type Entry window allows you to configure the phase pattern for DwPTS/DwPCH. You can select the defined pattern type or create your own pattern.

The DwPTS phase pattern consists of 80 (0–79) configurable subframes. The 2 subframes represents a SFN (system frame number) cycle. Four consecutive phases (phase quadruple) of the SYNC-DL are used to indicate the presence of the P-CCPCH in the following 4 sub-frames. In case the presence of a P-CCPCH is indicated, the next following sub-frame is the first sub-frame of the interleaving period.

Phase Pattern Type Selection

NONE ALL - No rotation is applied.

S1 ALL - Always rotate as the S1 description. (S1 means there is a P-CCPCH in the next 4 sub-frames)

S2 ALL - Always rotate as the S2 description. (S2 means There is no P-CCPCH in the next 4 sub-frames)

USER - Enables the USER Pattern Editor where you configure customize the 80 subframes to None, S1 or S2 to indicate P-CCPCH exists.

USER Pattern Editor

The User Pattern Editor is active after the USER button is selected (green in color). Go to this area to configure and edit your own phase pattern. There are three ways to configure the USER Phase pattern from the pattern editor:

Import from file: Click button to load a user-defined pattern (text file) from a selected location. When this button is selected, an Open Phase Pattern File window is displayed for navigating to and selecting the desired ASCII file (*.txt), characterizing phase pattern. Each line in the file is assumed to 0, 1 or 2 to representing NONE, S1, or S2 respectively. An imported file automatically updates the pattern selection table and the graph.

Using the Fill Pattern fields: This provides a quick method of creating a repeating phase sequence that builds upon the existing pattern shown in the pattern selection table.

NONE/S1/S2 Drop Down Selection: This drop-down-menu lets you select the pattern type (NONE, S1 or S2) for setting up the customized pattern. NONE is the default selection, which is also the default pattern for the pattern selection table.

Start: Defines the starting subframe (0-20) for the selected phase pattern type.

Interval: Defines the length of the pattern, in subframes, before it repeats.

Repeat: Defines the number of consecutive subframes within an interval that will transmit the selected type.

Execute: Applies the Fill Pattern fields to the pattern selection table and updates the graph.

Using the pattern selection table: Use the pattern selection table to set each item to NONE, S1 or S2. Use the Cycle Length field to set the length of the user data. Values may range from 1 to 20. You can also click Export to FILE button saves the current phase pattern, shown in the pattern selection table, to a text file. 

For large patterns, it is easiest to set all subframes using the Fill Pattern parameters.

Clear (with NONE): Click button to reset each subframe with the NONE, and updates the pattern selection table and the graph. A check mark appears in the NONE column for each subframe. Use the Cycle Length field to set the length of the user data. Values may range from 1 to 20.

NONE/S1/S2/ Pattern Graph

The graph at the bottom of the window shows the phase pattern where colors designate the pattern type.

OK

This closes the Data Type Entry window and updates the Phase Pattern for DwPTS/DwPCH.

Cancel

This closes the Data Type Entry window, canceling any new settings.
