Channel Setup (Advanced LTE FDD Uplink)

UCI

Channel Number

Displays the identifying number of the selected channel.

Name

Displays the name of the selected channel.

UCI = Uplink Control Information

UL-SCH = Uplink Shared Channel

State

Choice: Off | On

Default: Off

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

Power

Range: -60 to 20 dB

Default: 0.000 dB

Enter a power level in dB for the selected channel. See Output Power Calculation (Uplink) for a description of how the software applies your power setting.

Scrambling

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn scrambling for the physical channel on or off.

Data

This parameter applies only to UL-SCH channels.

Use the Data Source Selection dialog box to select PN9, PN15, or User Defined Bits to use for the data.

Data Reset

Choice: None | Every Subframe

Default: None

Sets the data reset method for UL-SCH.

None: the transport data is continuously repeated seed data which is specified by Data parameter. The transport data is not reset till end of the waveform.

Every Subframe: the transport data is reset at the start of each subframe.

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.

Coding State

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

This parameter applies only to UL-SCH channels.

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn coding for the selected channel off or on.

Number of HARQ Processes

Range: 8 (ttiBundling = Off

Default: 8

This parameter applies only to UL-SCH channels.

The value is read only. It is the number of available hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes and defines the interval (number of subframes) between retransmissions. Use the Assigned Processes parameter to enable HARQ processes. 

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

Assigned Processes

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

Default: 0-7

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).

RV Index Configuration

Choice: Auto | Manual

Default: Auto

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

If RV Index Configuration is set to Auto, then the parameter RV Index Sequence is active. If the parameter Retrans in the UL-SCH Tx sequence window is set to On, then the next RV Index in the RV Index Sequence is used for the RV Index of the UL-SCH transmission in the same subframe.

If RV Index Configuration is set to Manual, then the parameter RV Index Sequence is inactive. In this case, you can set RV Index for each UL-SCH transmission.

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).

If RV Index Configuration is set to Auto, then the parameter RV Index Sequence is active. Otherwise it is read only. If the parameter Retrans in the UL-SCH Tx sequence window is set to On, then the next RV Index in the RV Index Sequence is used for the RV Index of the UL-SCH transmission in the same subframe.

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.

Transmission Configuration Length

Range: 10 ms to Waveform Generation Length, Max 160 ms

Default: 40 ms

Set the length of transmission configuration. The definition of transmission configuration of SCH and related UCI will be repeated to the end of the Waveform Generation Length.

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.

HARQ-ACK Offset Index

Range: 0 to 14

Default:

Enter a value for the HARQ-ACK Offset Index. The table below shows the relationship between the HARQ-ACK offset value and the HARQ-ACK Offset Index:

RI Offset Index

Range: 0 to 12

Default: 0

Enter a value for the RI Offset Index. The table below shows the relationship between the RI offset value and the RI Offset Index:

CQI Offset Index

Range: 2 to 15

Default: 2

Enter a value for the CQI Offset Index. The table below shows the relationship between the CQI offset value and the CQI Offset Index:
