This topic describes the General parameters for the various Advanced LTE-A Pro Uplink component carrier types, including E-UTRA, eMTC, and NB-IoT.
Additional parameter setup tables for are described in these topics:
Baseband (Advanced LTE-A Pro FDD Uplink)
Fading contained in Waveform (multipath only) (Advanced LTE-A Pro FDD Uplink)
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the carrier Off or On.
Range: 10 to 30720 ms
Step: 1 ms
Default: 10 ms
Sets the waveform generation length.
Choice: Off | On
Default: On
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn Waveform Generation Length Even Frame Alignment on or off.
On: The waveform generation length is automatically set to multiple of 20 ms by adding tail gap period.
Off: The user can set the waveform generation length.
Range: 1 to 47360 ms
Waveform generation length is read-only and automatically set to multiple of 20 ms by adding tail gap period which is the Even Frame Alignment Length when Waveform Generation Length Even Frame Alignment is on. Otherwise, the user can set the waveform generation length.
Waveform Generation Length = NPUSCH Starting Subframe + Number of Consecutive Transmission Slots + Inserted Gap + Even Frame Alignment Length. NPUSCH Starting Subframe is parameter in milliseconds. Number of Consecutive Transmission Slots (N) = (N_RU) x (N_Rep) x (N_UL_slots). A gap of 40 ms is automatically inserted after every 256 ms NPUSCH transmission.
Even if transmission configuration sequences are set longer than Waveform Generation Length, signal generation length is limited to Waveform Generation Length.
