State

Choice: On | Off

Default: On

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the channel state on or off. See Output Power Calculation (Downlink) for a description of how the software applies your power settings.

Power

Range: -60.000 to 20.000 dB

Default: 0 dB

Enter a power level in dB for the channel state information reference signal.

CSI-RS Antenna Configuration

Choice: Auto | Manual

Default: Auto

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the CSI-RS Antenna Configuration.

This parameter indicates both the parameter settings for both the Number of CSI-RS Antenna Ports and the CSI-RS Antenna Port parameters. The possible settings are either Auto (automatically set by the software) or Manual (you can set them).

Number of CSI-RS Antenna Ports

Choice: 1 | 2 | 4 | 8

Default: 1

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the number of antenna ports for CSI-RS signals that is less than or equal to the total number of antennas.

The combination of the number of CSI-RS antenna ports and the total number of antennas determines the resource elements that are reserved for reference signals as described in 3GPP TS36.211.

If Auto is selected, the software sets the number of CRS antenna ports equal to the total number of antennas.

CSI-RS Antenna Port

Choice: Port 15 | Port 16 | Port 17 | Port 18 | Port 19 | Port 20 | Port 21 | Port 22

Default: Port 15

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the antenna port for CSI-RS transmission. Available port selections depend on the number of CSI-RS antenna ports selected. For more detail, refer to 3GPP TS 36.211.

CSI-RS Configuration

Range: 0 to 19

Default 0

Enter the CSI-RS subframe configuration index for the CSI-RS. This defines both the CSI-RS periodicity and subframe offset in accordance with 3GPP TS 36.211.

The CSI-RS Configuration range is coupled to the Number of CSI-RS Antenna Ports and to the Cyclic Prefix parameter values.

The available range depends on the following settings:

Normal Cyclic Prefix

Extended Cyclic Prefix

Number of CSI-RS

0 to 19

0 to 15

1 or 2

0 to 9

0 to 7

4

0 to 4 0 to 3 8

CSI-RS Subframe Configuration (I_CSI-RS)

Range: 0 to 14

Default: 0

Enter the CSI-RS Subframe Configuration index which defines both the CSI-RS Periodicity and CSI-RS Subframe Offset parameters (Delta_CSI-RS).

CSI-RS Periodicity (T_CSI-RS)

This is read only parameter automatically set by the CSI-RS Subframe Configuration (I_CSI-RS). For more detail, refer to 3GPP TS 36.211.

This is coupled to CSI-RS Subframe Configuration (I_CSI-RS).

Subframes containing CSI reference signals shall satisfy (10*SFN + Floor(Slot#/2) - Delta_CSI-RS) mod T_CSI-RS = 0

I_CSI-RS = 0 to 4 , T_CSI-RS = 5

I_CSI-RS = 5 to 14, T_CSI-RS = 10

CSI-RS Subframe Offset (Delta_CSI-RS)

This is read only parameter automatically set by the CSI-RS Subframe Configuration (I_CSI-RS). For more detail, refer to 3GPP TS 36.211.

This is coupled to CSI-RS Subframe Configuration (I_CSI-RS).

Subframes containing CSI reference signals shall satisfy (10*SFN + Floor(Slot#/2) - Delta_CSI-RS) mod T_CSI-RS = 0

I_CSI-RS = 0 to 4 , Delta_CSI-RS = I_CSI-RS

I_CSI-RS = 5 to 14, Delta_CSI-RS = I_CSI-RS - 5
