Select a DL-SCH channel in the Channel
Setup node, then click the button in the Transmission
Configuration cell to open the DL-SCH Tx sequence window.
The DL-SCH TX window displays the transmission sequence defined in the Channel Setup node for the selected DL-SCH channel.
You can make adjustments to the MCS index, RV index, VRB type, VRB offset, VRB size, and scrambling for each DL-SCH transmission from within the DL-SCH Tx sequence window.
The settings configured in the Channel Setup node and the DL-SCH Tx sequence window are displayed in the Tx Map.
Use the Import tab to navigate to and import a saved transmission sequence.
Use the Export tab to save the current transmission sequence to a file.
Click the
to access a drop-down list
that enables you to set parameters for all transmissions to the same value.

DL-SCH parameter RNTI = 1 to 65523 (C-RNTI) case, this parameter is as follows.
Where MCS is 0 to 28 with table 1 or 0 to 29 with table 2, TBS is read only and set by the software
Where MCS is 29 to 31 with table 1 or 28 to 31 with table 2, TBS is available to set manually
DL-SCH parameter RNTI = 65535 (SI-RNTI) case, this parameter is as follows.
Where MCS = 0 to 31 and DCI Format 1C, MCS = TBS as a read only parameter.

Range: 1 to 97896 (C-RNTI mapped to one layer) or limited by UE Category
1 to 195816 (C-RNTI mapped to two layers) or limited by UE Category
1 to 1293736 (C-RNTI, mapped to three layers) or limited by UE Category
1 to 391656 (C-RNTI, mapped to four layers) or limited by UE Category
1 to 2216 (SI-RNTI or P-RNTI)
The maximum range value is dependent on the UE Category and the number of spatial multiplexing layers mapped to the transport block.
Where TBS = Off, this parameter is available to change manually. Otherwise this is a read only parameter set (0 to 26) by the software.
Where MCS = 29 to 31, this case is an exception. TBS, TB Size, and Mod are available to change manually.

This parameter selects the number of physical resource blocks.
This parameter indicates RV Index for each subframe respectively.
Where DL-SCH parameter RNTI = 1 to 65523 (C-RNTI) and RV Index Configuration = Auto case, this parameter is automatically decided by both RV Index Sequence and ReTrans parameters.
Where DL-SCH parameter RNTI = 65535 (SI-RNTI), this parameter is set to manually.

Where DL-SCH parameter RNTI = 1 to 65523 (C-RNTI) and RA Type = Type2 case, this parameter is available to select Localized or Distributed.
Where DL-SCH parameter RNTI = 65535 (SI-RNTI), this parameter is as follows:

Range: Depends on relative parameters as follows:
0 to System BW RB size – 1 (RNTI = 1 to 65523 (C-RNTI) case)
0 to System BW RB size - RB Size (Format 1A, Localized)
0 to System BW RB size - N_DL_VRB (Format 1A, Distributed)
0 to System BW RB size - N_step_RB to Floor(N_DL_VRB / N_step_RB)*N_step_RB (Format 1C, Distributed)
Enter the RB offset for the subframe.

Range: Depends on relative parameters as follows.
1 to System BW RB size (Format 1A, Localized)
1 to N_DL_VRB (Format 1A, Distributed)
N_step_RB to Floor(N_DL_VRB/N_step_RB)*N_step_RB (Format 1C, Distributed)
Enter the RB size for the subframe.
When the System Bandwidth is decreased, the DL-SCH Tx Sequence window's RB size, and some of the other data channel's settings, are reconfigured, similar to when a Predefined Configuration is executed. But, when the System Bandwidth is increased, no change to the DL-SCH Tx Sequence window's RB size, or the other data channel's settings occurs.
For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 36.213.
Choice: Ngap, 1 | Ngap, 2
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the RB Gap for the subframe.
Only VRB Type = ‘Distributed’ case this parameter is visible.
VRB Type = Distributed and System BW >= 50 case, this parameter is selectable by manual.
VRB Type = Distributed and System BW < 50 case, this parameter is read only and Ngap, 1.
