FRC Wizard Window (Uplink)

To set up a fixed reference channel (FRC), for an Advanced LTE TDD Uplink carrier, click the Wizard button in the Uplink Setup node for the LTE standards to open the FRC Wizard.

FRC Configuration

System Bandwidth

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the system bandwidth and number of resource blocks for the fixed reference channel.

Any combination of System Bandwidth and Reference Channel can be selected on the FRC Wizard window, and an error check is executed after clicking the OK button.

For Reference Channel A1-8, A1-9, A2-4, and A2-5 are an exception, System Bandwidth and Reference Channel combination is limited. (A1-8 and A2-4 for 10 MHz System Bandwidth, A1-9 and A2-5 for 20 MHz System Bandwidth)

If RB Size of the Reference Channel is larger than the System Bandwidth, an error message is displayed and FRC wizard is aborted.

FRC Type

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the ClosedFRC Type. The software sets the parameters displayed in the lower section of the window to predetermined values for the FRC Type and Reference Channel "A" value (An-n) selected.

Default: Ax-1 Note) x is FRC Type number.

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the Ax value for the FRC.

The software adjusts corresponding parameter values in the lower section based on your selection.

Any combination of System Bandwidth and Reference Channel can be selected on the FRC Wizard window, and an error check is executed after clicking the OK button.

For Reference Channel A1-8, A1-9, A2-4, and A2-5 are an exception, System Bandwidth and Reference Channel combination is limited. (A1-8 and A2-4 for 10 MHz System Bandwidth, A1-9 and A2-5 for 20 MHz System Bandwidth)

If RB Size of the Reference Channel is larger than the System Bandwidth, an error message is displayed and FRC wizard is aborted
