See 3GPP TS 36.213, 36.321 and 36.311 for more information.

Assigned Processes

Range: 0 to (number defined in Number of HARQ Processes)

Default: 0 to 7

This parameter applies only to UL-SCH channels.

Enter the numbers of individual HARQ processes, separated by commas (for example, 1,2,3) or a range of HARQ processes ( for example, 1-3) to enable specific HARQ processes. The number of available HARQ processes is defined in the Number of HARQ Processes cell.

Your setting is displayed in the UL-SCH Tx sequence window (see Transmission Configuration).

Initial RV Index

Range: 0 to 3

Default: 0

Enter the initial RV index for BL/CE UE.

This parameter appears only when UE Type is set to BL/CE.

When CE Mode is set to Mode B, this parameter is set to 0 as read-only.

See 3GPP TS 36.213 for more information.

RV Index Configuration

Choice: Auto | Manual

Default: Auto

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the RV Index Configuration.

If the RV Index Configuration is set to Auto, the RV index is automatically set in order from the first element of RV index sequence.

If the RV Index Configuration is set to Manual, you can set RV index manually in the UL-SCH Tx sequence window.

If the Number of HARQ Processes is 3 or 4, the RV Index Configuration is set to Auto as read-only.

This parameter appears only when UE Type is set to Non-BL/CE.

RV Index Sequence

Range of sequence length: 1 to 16

Range of each value: 0 to 3

Default: 0,2,3,1

Enter the numbers of individual RV Index Sequence, separated by commas (for example, 1,2,3).

In the case that Number of HARQ Processes is 8 (TTI Bundling is off) and RV Index Configuration is 'Manual', RV Index Sequence is read-only.

If the Number of HARQ Processes is 3 or 4, the RV Index Sequence is set to 0,2,3,1 as read-only.

Resource Block Assign

This parameter applies only to UCI channels. Select a resource block assignment for the UCI from the drop-down list. Your selection is applied to the UCI in the first slot of each subframe. The UCI in the second slot of each subframe is adjusted accordingly. Your setting is displayed in the resource mapping graph at the bottom of the Channel Setup window.

Transmission Configuration Length

Range:

Non-BL/CE: 10 ms to Waveform Generation Length, Max 160 ms

BL/CE: 1 ms (Fixed)

Step: 10 ms

Default: 10 ms

This value is set same value of Transmission Configuration Length in UL-SCH as read-only automatically.

For eMTC Uplink CC, this parameter is set to 1 ms first as an exception.

UI parameter couplings:

If the Waveform Generation Length parameter is set less than the Transmission Configuration Length, the value of Transmission Configuration Length is changed to be ≤Waveform Generation Length. In summary, the relation between Transmission Configuration Length and Waveform Generation Length is that the Transmission Configuration Length ≤Waveform Generation Length. Refer to the Waveform Generation Length parameter.

Example: Where the Transmission Configuration Length is set to 20 ms (2 frames), Frames #0 and #1 configurations (Sequences #1 through #20) will be repeated while generating SCH.

Transmission Configuration

Select an uplink channel, then click the button in this cell to open the UL-SCH Tx sequence window, or the UCI Tx sequence window.

Number of ACK bits

Displays the total number of ACK bits on the definition of UCI Transmission Configuration as generated by the PUCCH Wizard.

Number of NACK bits

Displays the total number of NACK bits on the definition of UCI Transmission Configuration as generated by PUCCH Wizard.
