This Channel Setup Advanced Uplink configuration has several different possible channel setups (e.g. UL-SCH and UCI). The screen shot below shows the parameter choices for a UL-SCH channel. In the N7625C Signal Studio software, click a different channel to view that channel's parameter choices. The links for all of the channel's parameters and their descriptions are listed in the tables below.

Data

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.

Delta Shift

Range: 1 to 3

Default: 1

Enter a delta shift value which is used to calculate the cyclic shift alpha for the PUCCH.

nDMRS(1)

Range: 0 to (Maximum resource elements -1)

Default: 0

Enter the nDMRS(1) value which is used to calculate the cyclic shift alpha of the demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

Group/Sequence Hopping

Choice: Off | Group Hopping | Sequence Hopping

Default: Off

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to enable the hopping type for the selected transmission.

Hopping Mode

Choice: Off | Inter-subframe | Intra and inter-subframe

Default: Off

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the frequency hopping mode of PUSCHs.

Refer to the TS 3GPP 36.211 5.3.4 and 36.213 8.4 about the PUSCH frequency hopping for more information.  

Hopping Offset

Range: 0 to 98

Default: 0

Enter a value for the frequency hopping offset of PUSCHs. Refer to the 3GPP technical standards for more information.

Refer to the TS 3GPP 36.211 5.3.4 and 36.213 8.4 about the PUSCH frequency hopping for more information.  

Hopping Subbands

Range: 1 to 4

Default: 1

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the frequency hopping subbands of PUSCHs.

This parameter is only available when the frequency hopping type is set to Type 2.

Refer to the TS 3GPP 36.211 5.3.4 and 36.213 8.4 about the PUSCH frequency hopping for more information.  

Hopping Type

Choice: Type1 +1/4 | Type1 -1/4 | Type1 +1/2 | Type2

Default: Type1 +1/2

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the frequency hopping type of the PUSCHs.

Type 1 +1/4 and Type 1 -1/4 are only available when the number of system resource blocks is greater than 50.

Refer to the TS 3GPP 36.211 5.3.4 and 36.213 8.4 about the PUSCH frequency hopping for more information.  

Name

Displays the name (type) of the selected channel.

UCI = Uplink Control Information      

UL-SCH = Uplink Shared Channel      

nPUCCH(2)

Range: 0 to (Max Resource Element - 1)

Default: 0

Resources used for transmission of PUCCH format 1/1a/1b and 2/2a/2b are represented by the non-negative indices and, respectively. Refer to 3GPP TS 36.211.

N_CS(1)

Range: 0 to 8

Default: 0

Enter a value for the PUCCH N_CS(1) number.

N_RB(2)

Range: 0 to Max Resource Block - 1

Default: 1

Enter a value for the PUCCH N_RB(2) number.

Number of HARQ Processes

Range: 1 to 8

Default: 1

The value you enter sets 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. In the current LTE TDD signal studio it only supports one HARQ process for the UL-SCH.

Power

Range: -60.000 to 20.000 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 settings.

RNTI

Range: 0 to 65535

Default: 0

Enter a value for the Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI).

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).

RV Index Configuration

Choice: Auto | Manual

Default: Auto

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

Scrambling

Choice: On (AUTO) | Off | Manual

Default: On (AUTO)

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

State

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the channel On or Off.

Supporting 64QAM

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to turn the capacity of supporting 64QAM state on or off for the UL-SCH. This parameter determines if 64QAM support is available for Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) indexes equal to or greater than 21. For MCS indexes less than 21, this parameter has no effect. 

Transmission Configuration

Click the button in this cell to open the UL-SCH Tx sequence window or UCI Tx sequence window.

Transmission Configuration Length

Range: 1 frame to Waveform Generation Length, Max 16 frames

Default: 1 frame

Set the length of transmission configuration. The definition of transmission configuration of SCH and 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.

 

Channel

Transmission Configuration Length

Default Value

Uplink

UL-SCH

The value is available to set 1 -16 Frames With following rule:

Transmission Configuration Length ≤Waveform Generation Length

1 Frame

 

UCI

The value is automatically set to same value corresponding UL-SCH.

Same as UL-SCH

UCI: This is a read only parameter. Use UL-SCH to set the Transmission Configuration Length parameter.

Example: Where the Transmission Configuration Length is set to 2, Frames #0 and #1 configurations (Sequences #1 through #20) will be repeated while generating ClosedSCH.

Transmission Setting Mode

Choice: MCS | Manual

Default: MCS

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select the PUSCH Transmission Setting Mode.

In the MCS Index mode, the modulation order, TBS index, block size and the redundancy index of each transmission is determined according to Table 8.6.1-1 in 3GPP 36.211.

In Manual mode, you can set the Block Size to 0 in the UL-SCH Tx sequence window to transmit UCI on PUSCH with only selected control related information (HARQ-ACK, RI, and CQI/PMI) without UL-SCH data.
