Retrans(1)

Choices: Off | On

Sets the re-transmission process of the transport block 1 (codeword 0) for the corresponding PUSCH transmission. (Toggle the new data indicator state or not.)

On: Re-transmission data with next RV index is transmitted. (The new data indicator is not toggled.)

Off: New data is transmitted. (The new data indicator is toggled.)

First transmission of each process is not available to set re-transmission.

For example, when the Number of HARQ Processes is 1 (Assigned Process is 0) and every subframe transmission is on, the re-transmission is not available to the first transmission.

Example: If the eNB receives incorrect data in uplink process #0, it sends a sends a retransmission request (NACK) to the UE. The UE then resends the data that was sent in previous process #0, 8 subframes earlier, starting with the next cycle of process #0. This is done by incrementing the RV Index(1) in the specified sequence (i.e. 0, 2, 3, 1...), up to the maximum number of the retransmission (i.e. a longer Waveform Generation Length, enables a greater number of potential retransmissions). Each complete retransmission can only happen after eight subframes.

Refer to the 3GPP standards, TS36.213 clause 8 and TS36.321 clause 5.4.2 on HARQ operation.

MCS Index(1)

Range: 0 to 31 | Off

When the “Transmission Setting Mode” in UL-SCH is MCS and this parameter is 29 to 31, manual selection is available for the “Modulation(1)” and “TBS Index(1)”.

When the “Transmission Setting Mode” in UL-SCH is Manual, this is hidden.

When an MCS Index value is selected, the software generates the values for Modulation, TBS Index, and the TB Size according to the 3GPP standards. You can choose to manually enter the TB Size and the modulation, by turning off the MCS Index and the TBS Index parameters. This is required where the control information is transmitted without any data (payload)
