Couplings for interlaced transmission:
-
The intra-cell guard band setting is used to determine the number/location of RB-sets, and the RB-set index should be one of the RB-sets. if the selected RB-set is less than 100RB (for mu0) or 50RB (for mu1), there will be an error.
-
The BWP used for PUCCH should contains the selected RB-set, otherwise there will be an error.
-
It is clear that Intra-slot frequency hopping is not used for interlaced transmission, but not clear about Inter-slot frequency hopping, I assume it is also not used for interlaced transmission.
-
For interlace1, -1 means 'not configured'.

SRS
SRS Channel Table
Configure multiple SRS channels. Use the Add, Remove, and Copy buttons directly above to manage rows.
The conflict check between multiple SRSs is based on RE level. That is, if two SRSs use same RBs and symbols but different subcarriers, it is allowed.

Name
Set the name for the channel.
Enabled
Enable or disable the channel or signal in a radio frame.

Default: 0dB
Set the additional power boosting for the channel.
Number of Antenna Ports
Range: 1, 2, 4
Default: 1
Set the number of Antenna Ports used for SRS.
Antenna Port Generated
Enter a comma-separated string or click drop down arrow to set the mapping between physical antennas and logical antenna ports, the number of physical antennas is under Waveform Setup node.
SRS-for-positioning
Choices: On | Off
Default: Off
Set whether SRS is configured by the [SRS-for-positioning] IE.
2. Time Domain Resource
Periodicity (T_SRS)
Choices: 0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 10 | 16 | 20 | 32 | 40 | 64 | 80 | 160 | 320 | 640 | 1280 | 2560 | 5120 | 10240 | 40960 | 81920
Default: 0
Select the Periodicity (T_SRS) for SRS, 0 means aperiodic.
For periodic SRS, Allocated Slots is read-only and automatically calculated by Periodicity and Slot Offset.
Slot Offset (T_offset)
Range: 0 to (Periodicity - 1)
Default: 0
Set the Slot Offset (T_offset) for SRS.
Allocated Slots
Range: 0 to number of slots in a frame for current numerology -1
Set the allocated slot index for the channel. There are 3 ways to configure:
-
To configure by individual index, use ',' as the delimiter, e.g. 0,1,2,3.
-
To configure by a range of index, use ':' to indicate the start index and the last index, e.g. 3:10 means 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.
-
To configure by a certain step, use two ':' to indicate the start index, the step and the last index, e.g. 0:4:12 means 0, 4, 8, 12.
These 3 configuration methods can be used in combination, by using ',' as the delimiter, e.g. 0,1,4:7,8:2:19 means index 0,1,4,5,6,7,8,10,12,14,16,18.
Start Position (l_offset)
Range: (N_symb_SRS - 1) to 13
Default: 5
Set the startPosition parameter for SRS, which determines the Symbol Start of SRS by l0 = N_symb_slot - 1 - l_offset.
Number of symbols (N_symb_SRS)
Range: 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 (Symbol Start + Number of symbols should be in the range of the last six symbols in this slot)
Default: 1
Set the number of symbols used for SRS. Number of Symbols can be {1, 2, 4}, and Symbol Start + Number of Symbols should smaller than the last symbol index in this slot
Repetition Factor (R)
Choices: 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 12 (should be equal or less than N_symb_SRS).
Default: 1
Set the Repetition Factor used for SRS.
