Channel Setup (Basic LTE FDD PRACH)

Use the Channel Setup node to configure PRACH bursts. Click the Column Preset button to access a drop-down list that enables you to set parameters for all PRACH bursts to the same value.

PRACH Burst Number

Displays the identifying number of the selected PRACH burst.

When you click the Add New PRACH Burst button , the software adds a new PRACH burst above the currently selected PRACH burst in the list. The software assigns an identifying number to the new PRACH burst that corresponds to its position in the list and increments the identifying numbers of subsequent PRACH bursts in the list. Similarly, if you delete the selected PRACH burst using the Delete PRACH Burst(s) button , the software adjusts the identifying numbers of the subsequent PRACH bursts according to their new positions in the list.

State

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the selected PRACH burst on or off.

Power

Range: -60.0 dB to 20 dB

Default: 0.000 dB

Enter a power level in dB for the selected PRACH burst, relative to the carrier power.

Frame Number

Range: Determined by the Waveform Generation Length selected in the PRACH Carrier node.

Enter a frame number for the selected PRACH burst. The PRACH burst location displayed in the Resource Mapping Graph at the bottom of the Channel Setup node is determined by the frame number and subframe number defined for the selected burst.

Subframe Number

Range: Determined by the Waveform Generation Length  selected in the PRACH Carrier node.

Enter a subframe number for the selected PRACH burst. The PRACH burst location displayed in the Resource Mapping Graph at the bottom of the Channel Setup node is determined by the frame number and subframe number defined for the selected burst.

Resource Block Offset

Range: 0 to maximum number of RB in the System Bandwidth - 6.

Default: 0

Enter the number of resource blocks by which to offset the PRACH preamble.

Auto-configuration

Parameter is set in the PRACH Wizard.

Preamble Format

Range: 0 to 3

Default: 0

Enter a value for the PRACH preamble format for the selected burst. The following table shows the cyclic prefix length, PRACH sequence length and total length for each PRACH preamble format.

Logical Root Sequence Index

Range: 0 to 837

Default: 0

Enter a value for the Logical Root Sequence Index.

In the case where preambles corresponding to Preamble Index cannot be generated from a single root Zadoff-Chu sequence, Logical Root Sequence Index is incremented until corresponding Preamble sequences are found.

That incremented Logical Root Sequence Index is displayed in the Logical Root Sequence Index (Incremented) field.

Physical Root Sequence Index, Cyclic Shift v and Incremented Logical Root Sequence Index are automatically changed on GUI based on Cyclic Shift Set, Ncs Configuration, Logical Root Sequence Index and Preamble Index.

In the table below, the first Logical root sequence number in the range matches the first Physical root sequence number, the second matches the second, and so on. For example, logical root number 0 = physical root number 129, logical root number 1 = physical root number 710. (See 3GPP TS 36.211.)

Logical Root Sequence Index (Incremented)

Range: 0 to 837 for Format 0 to 3

Default: 0

Displays a value for the incremented logical root sequence index. Refer to 36.211.

In the case where preambles corresponding to Preamble Index cannot be generated from a single root Zadoff-Chu sequence, Logical Root Sequence Index is incremented until corresponding Preamble sequences are found.

That incremented Logical Root Sequence Index is displayed in the Logical Root Sequence Index (Incremented) field.

Physical Root Sequence Index, Cyclic Shift v and Incremented Logical Root Sequence Index are automatically changed on GUI based on Cyclic Shift Set, Ncs Configuration, Logical Root Sequence Index and Preamble Index.

Default: 0

Enter a value of Preamble Index (ID) for PRACH preamble generation.

Example: Auto-configuration = PRACH Test Preamble (3GPP TS 36.141 A.6),Cyclic Shift Set = Normal Mode, and Preamble Format = 0, so Preamble Index should be set to 32 to satisfy Cyclic Shift v = 32 (refer to 34.141 A.6).

Refer to Preamble Index in TS36.212 5.3.3.1.3, TS36.321 5.1, and TS36.331 6.3.2.

Physical Root Sequence Index

This parameter is read only and the value is automatically set by the software based on the Logical Root Sequence Index and Preamble Index.

In the case where preambles corresponding to Preamble Index cannot be generated from a single root Zadoff-Chu sequence, Logical Root Sequence Index is incremented until corresponding Preamble sequences are found.

That incremented Logical Root Sequence Index is displayed in the Logical Root Sequence Index (Incremented) field.

Physical Root Sequence Index, Cyclic Shift v and Incremented Logical Root Sequence Index are automatically changed on GUI based on Cyclic Shift Set, Ncs Configuration, Logical Root Sequence Index and Preamble Index.

Cyclic Shift v

This parameter is read only and the value is automatically set by the software based on the Logical Root Sequence Index, Preamble Index, Ncs Configuration, and Cyclic Shift Set parameter values.

In the case where preambles corresponding to Preamble Index cannot be generated from a single root Zadoff-Chu sequence, Logical Root Sequence Index is incremented until corresponding Preamble sequences are found.

That incremented Logical Root Sequence Index is displayed in the Logical Root Sequence Index (Incremented) field.

Physical Root Sequence Index, Cyclic Shift v and Incremented Logical Root Sequence Index are automatically changed on GUI based on Cyclic Shift Set, Ncs Configuration, Logical Root Sequence Index and Preamble Index.

Preamble Time Offset

Choice: 0.0 us | 0.1 us | 0.2 us | 0.3 us | 0.4 us | 0.5 us | 0.6 us | 0.7 us | 0.8 us | 0.9 us

Default: 0.0 us

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the preamble time offset in microseconds (us) for the selected burst.
