PUCCH Wizard Window (LTE-A TDD)

To set up a PUCCH for an Advanced LTE-A TDD Uplink carrier, click the Wizard button in the Uplink node to open the PUCCH Configuration Wizard. The wizard supports 3GPP technical specification 36.141. In multi user PUCCH test, four signals are configured: one wanted signal and three interferers, which are transmitted via separate fading paths using relative power settings shown in Annex A.9.
