FRC Wizard (Advanced LTE-A Pro FDD Uplink)

E-UTRA and eMTC

NB-IoT

UL FRC Configuration (Base Station Rx Test based on 36.141)

System Bandwidth

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the system bandwidth and number of resource blocks for the fixed reference channel.

Any combination of System Bandwidth and Reference Channel can be selected on the FRC Wizard window, and an error check is executed after clicking the OK button.

For Reference Channel A1-8, A1-9, A2-4, and A2-5 are an exception, System Bandwidth and Reference Channel combination is limited. (A1-8 and A2-4 for 10 MHz System Bandwidth, A1-9 and A2-5 for 20 MHz System Bandwidth)

If RB Size of the Reference Channel is larger than the System Bandwidth, an error message is displayed and FRC wizard is aborted.

FRC Type

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the FRC type. The software sets the parameters displayed in the lower section of the window to predetermined values for the FRC Type and Reference Channel as shown in the table below:

Default: Ax-1 Note) x is FRC Type number.

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the Ax value for the FRC.

The software adjusts corresponding parameter values in the lower section based on your selection.

Any combination of System Bandwidth and Reference Channel can be selected on the FRC Wizard window, and an error check is executed after clicking the OK button.

For Reference Channel A1-8, A1-9, A2-4, and A2-5 are an exception, System Bandwidth and Reference Channel combination is limited. (A1-8 and A2-4 for 10 MHz System Bandwidth, A1-9 and A2-5 for 20 MHz System Bandwidth)

If RB Size of the Reference Channel is larger than the System Bandwidth, an error message is displayed and FRC wizard is aborted.

RB Offset

Range: 0 to the number of resource blocks determined by the System Bandwidth selection.

Default: 0

Sets the resource block offset for the FRC when the FRC Type is set to anything other than FRC for PUSCH with TTI bundling and enhanced HARQ pattern.

When the FRC Type is set to FRC for PUSCH with TTI bundling and enhanced HARQ pattern, this parameter displays the resource block offset. In this case, 3 contiguous resource blocks should be in the middle of the channel bandwidth. When the number of resource blocks in the channel bandwidth is even, the 3 contiguous resource blocks in the middle with lower numbers are used as follows:

1 (1.4MHz System BW case)

6 (3MHz System BW case)

11 (5MHz System BW case)

23 (10MHz System BW case)

36 (15MHz System BW case)
