PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params

Choice: Off | On

Default Off

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn automatic calculation of per-slot parameters on or off.

To enable manual input for the following parameters, set PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params to off:

DMRS Sequence Index for slot 0/1, DMRS Group Index for slot 0/1, and DMRS Cyclic Shift for slot 0/1 in the UL-SCH Tx Sequence dialog box.

To enable manual input for the following parameters, set PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params to on:

PUSCH nDMRS(1), PUSCH nDMRS(2), PUSCH Delta SS

Hopping in the Cell Parameters section of the Uplink node.

PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params is automatically set to on when Resource Allocation Type 3 is changed to on.

Resource Allocation Type 3 is automatically set to off when PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params is changed to off.

nDMRS(1)

Range: 0 to (Maximum resource element -1)

Default: 0

When PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params is turned On, you can enter a value for PUSCH nDMRS(1). This value is used to calculate the Cyclic Shift Alpha (see 3GPP TS36.211).

Delta SS

Range: 0 to 29

Default: 0

When PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params is turned On, you can enter a value for PUSCH Delta SS. This value is used to calculate the Cyclic Shift Alpha (see 3GPP TS 36.211).

Hopping Mode

Choice: Inter-Subframe | Intra and Inter-Subframe

Default: Intra and Inter-Subframe

Displays the PUSCH frequency hopping mode (see 3GPP TS 36.211).

Hopping Offset (N_HO_RB)

Range: 0 to minimum (98 or calculated value)

Default: 0

Displays the PUSCH Frequency Hopping Offset value.

If the calculated hopping RB is non-contiguous or is out of the system bandwidth or some other invalid resource mapping case, the value is denied.

If an invalid resource mapping is used, a warning is displayed. If a warning is displayed, change the Hopping Offset (N_HO_RB) or Number of Sub-bands (Nsb) or RB Size of RB Offset parameters to align with the equation below.

The calculated value should be:

N_sb_RB = Floor((N_UL_RB - N_HO_RB mod 2)/Nsb

Refer to 3GPP TS 36.211 or 36.213.

Number of Sub-bands (Nsb)

Range: 1 to 4

Default: 1

Enter a value for Number of Sub-bands (Nsb) when the PUSCH Auto-calculate per-slot params is turned on.

If the calculated hopping RB is non-contiguous or is out of the system bandwidth or some invalid resource mapping case, the value is denied.

In this case, change Hopping Offset (N_HO_RB) or Number of Sub-bands (Nsb) or RB Size of RB Offset parameters.

Refer to 3GPP TS 36.211 or 36.213.

Supporting 64QAM

Choice: Off | On

Default Off

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn Supporting 64QAM on or off.

If this parameter is set to on, 64QAM modulation is available to be transmited. Otherwise, only QPSK and 16QAM modulation are available.

The parameter 64QAM and its maximum number of transmitted bits for a UL-SCH transport block is shown in the table below.
