UL RMC Wizard Window (Uplink)

To set up a UL Reference Measurement Channel (RMC), for an Advanced LTE TDD Uplink carrier, click the Wizard button in the Uplink Setup node for the LTE or LTE-A standards to open the UL RMC Wizard. The following RMC Wizard window represents a superset of the LTE and LTE-A parameters, and some parameters are only valid for the Advanced LTE and Advanced LTE-A carriers (e.g. UE Category).

UL RMC 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.

Modulation

Choice: QPSK | 16QAM

Default: QPSK

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the modulation for the reference measurement channel.

For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 36.521-1.

Allocated Resource Blocks

Choice: 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 18 | 20 | 24 | 25

Default: 25

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the allocated resource blocks for the reference measurement channel. Choice parameters depend on System Bandwidth and Modulation.

For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 36.521-1.

RB Position

Choice: Lower End | Upper End

Default: Lower End

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the resource block (RB) position for the reference measurement channel.

Lower End: PUSCH RBs are placed lower frequency end of system bandwidth.

Upper End: PUSCH RBs are placed upper frequency end of system bandwidth.

For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 36.521-1.

UE Category (Advanced LTE-A only)

Choice: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Default: 5

System Bandwidth = 10MHz (50RB), Modulation = 16QAM and Allocated Resource Blocks = 30 or 36 or 50 case

Choice: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

System Bandwidth = 15MHz (75RB), Modulation = 16QAM and Allocated Resource Blocks = 75 case

Choice: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

System Bandwidth = 20MHz (100RB), Modulation = 16QAM and Allocated Resource Blocks = 75 or 100 case

Choice: 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

All other case

Choice: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

If UE Category = 5 case, Set Support 64QAM = on. Otherwise set Support 64QAM = off

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the UE Category for the reference measurement channel. Choice parameters depend on System Bandwidth, Modulation and Allocation Resource Blocks.

UE Category 5 case, the parameter Support 64QAM is set on. Otherwise off.

For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 36.521-1.
