Operating states and operating positions

The product may be operated only under the operating conditions and in the positions specified by the
manufacturer, without the product's ventilation being obstructed. If the manufacturer's specifications are
not observed, this can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death. Applicable local
or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed in all work
performed.
1. Unless otherwise specified, the following requirements apply to Rohde & Schwarz products:
predefined operating position is always with the housing floor facing down, IP protection 2X, use only
indoors, max. operating altitude 2000 m above sea level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above sea
level. A tolerance of 10 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and 5 % to the nominal frequency,
overvoltage category 2, pollution severity 2.
2. Do not place the product on surfaces, vehicles, cabinets or tables that for reasons of weight or stability
are unsuitable for this purpose. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when
installing the product and fastening it to objects or structures (e.g. walls and shelves). An installation
that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in personal injury or
even death.
3. Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient
temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in
the data sheet. Product overheating can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or
even death.
Electrical safety
If the information on electrical safety is not observed either at all or to the extent necessary, electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.
1. Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product
matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network. If a different voltage is to be set, the power
fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.
2. In the case of products of safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is
permitted only on sockets with a protective conductor contact and protective conductor.
3. Intentionally breaking the protective conductor either in the feed line or in the product itself is not
permitted. Doing so can result in the danger of an electric shock from the product. If extension cords
or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are
safe to use.
4. If there is no power switch for disconnecting the product from the AC supply network, or if the power
switch is not suitable for this purpose, use the plug of the connecting cable to disconnect the product
from the AC supply network. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and
accessible at all times. For example, if the power plug is the disconnecting device, the length of the
connecting cable must not exceed 3 m. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing
disconnection from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into
racks or systems, the disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.
5. Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cables on a regular basis to
ensure that they are in proper operating condition. By taking appropriate safety measures and
carefully laying the power cable, ensure that the cable cannot be damaged and that no one can be
hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.
1171.0000.42 - 07
Page 3
6. The product may be operated only from TN/TT supply networks fuse-protected with max. 16 A (higher
fuse only after consulting with the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies).
7. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the
socket provided for this purpose. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.
8. Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or electric
shocks.
9. For measurements in circuits with voltages Vrms > 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate
measuring equipment, fuse protection, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be
taken to avoid any hazards.
10. Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial
computers, comply with the IEC60950-1/EN60950-1 or IEC61010-1/EN 61010-1 standards that apply
in each case.
11. Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in
operation. Doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, fire or damage to the
product.
12. If a product is to be permanently installed, the connection between the protective conductor terminal
on site and the product's protective conductor must be made first before any other connection is
made. The product may be installed and connected only by a licensed electrician.
13. For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective
devices, the supply circuit must be fuse-protected in such a way that anyone who has access to the
product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.
14. Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of
lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the
danger of an electric shock.
15. Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this
purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries.
16. Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating states and
operating positions", item 1). Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by
liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product
itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.
17. Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the
product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water
increases the risk of electric shock.
18. Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network
or battery). Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such
as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.
Operation
1. Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that persons
who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so; otherwise, injuries
or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable
personnel for operating the products.
1171.0000.42 - 07

2. Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport".
3. As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic reaction
(allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded. If you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory difficulties) when using a Rohde & Schwarz
product, consult a physician immediately to determine the cause and to prevent health problems or
stress.
4. Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it apart, be
sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal/Environmental protection",
item 1.
5. Depending on the function, certain products such as RF radio equipment can produce an elevated
level of electromagnetic radiation. Considering that unborn babies require increased protection,
pregnant women must be protected by appropriate measures. Persons with pacemakers may also be
exposed to risks from electromagnetic radiation. The employer/operator must evaluate workplaces
where there is a special risk of exposure to radiation and, if necessary, take measures to avert the
potential danger.
6. Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that can
cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective masks and
protective clothing must be worn.
7. Laser products are given warning labels that are standardized according to their laser class. Lasers
can cause biological harm due to the properties of their radiation and due to their extremely
concentrated electromagnetic power. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is integrated into a
Rohde & Schwarz product, absolutely no other settings or functions may be used as described in the
product documentation. The objective is to prevent personal injury (e.g. due to laser beams).
8. EMC classes (in line with EN 55011/CISPR 11, and analogously with EN 55022/CISPR 22,
EN 55032/CISPR 32)

Introduction
Requirements for UMTS Long-Term Evolution
3 Introduction
Currently, UMTS networks worldwide are being upgraded to high speed downlink packet
access (HSDPA) in order to increase data rate and capacity for downlink packet data. In
the next step, high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) will boost uplink performance
in UMTS networks. While HSDPA was introduced as a 3GPP Release 5 feature, HSUPA
is an important feature of 3GPP Release 6. The combination of HSDPA and HSUPA is
often referred to as HSPA.
However, even with the introduction of HSPA, the evolution of UMTS has not reached its
end. HSPA+ will bring significant enhancements in 3GPP Release 7. The objective is to
enhance the performance of HSPA-based radio networks in terms of spectrum efficiency,
peak data rate and latency, and to exploit the full potential of WCDMA based 5 MHz
operation. Important features of HSPA+ are downlink multiple input multiple output
(MIMO), higher order modulation for uplink and downlink, improvements of layer 2 protocols, and continuous packet connectivity.
In order to ensure the competitiveness of UMTS for the next 10 years and beyond, concepts for UMTS long term evolution (LTE) have been investigated. The objective is a
high-data-rate, low-latency and packet-optimized radio access technology. Therefore, a
study item was launched in 3GPP Release 7 on evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access
(EUTRA) and evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (EUTRAN). LTE/EUTRA
will then form part of 3GPP Release 8 core specifications.
This introduction focuses on LTE/EUTRA technology. In the following, the terms LTE or
EUTRA are used interchangeably.
In the context of the LTE study item, 3GPP work first focused on the definition requirements, e.g. targets for data rate, capacity, spectrum efficiency, and latency. Also commercial aspects such as costs for installing and operating the network were considered.
Based on these requirements, technical concepts for the air interface transmission
schemes and protocols were studied. Notably, LTE uses new multiple access schemes
on the air interface: orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) in downlink
and single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) in uplink. Furthermore,
MIMO antenna schemes form an essential part of LTE. In an attempt to simplify protocol
architecture, LTE brings some major changes to the existing UMTS protocol concepts.
Impact on the overall network architecture including the core network is being investigated in the context of 3GPP system architecture evolution (SAE).
3.1 Requirements for UMTS Long-Term Evolution

LTE is focusing on optimum support of packet switched (PS) services. Main requirements
for the design of an LTE system are documented in 3GPP TR 25.913 [1] and can be
summarized as follows:
Data Rate: Peak data rates target 100 Mbps (downlink) and 50 Mbps (uplink) for 20
MHz spectrum allocation, assuming two receive antennas and one transmit antenna
are at the terminal.
15
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
LTE Downlink Transmission Scheme
Throughput: The target for downlink average user throughput per MHz is three to
four times better than Release 6. The target for uplink average user throughput per
MHz is two to three times better than Release 6.
Spectrum efficiency: The downlink target is three to four times better than Release
6. The uplink target is two to three times better than Release 6.
Latency: The one-way transit time between a packet being available at the IP layer
in either the UE or radio access network and the availability of this packet at IP layer
in the radio access network/UE shall be less than 5 ms. Also C-plane latency shall
be reduced, e.g. to allow fast transition times of less than 100 ms from camped state
to active state.
Bandwidth: Scaleable bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz shall be

supported. Also bandwidths smaller than 5 MHz shall be supported for more flexibility.
Interworking: Interworking with existing UTRAN/GERAN systems and non-3GPP

systems shall be ensured. Multimode terminals shall support handover to and from
UTRAN and GERAN as well as inter-RAT measurements. Interruption time for handover between EUTRAN and UTRAN/GERAN shall be less than 300 ms for realtime
services and less than 500 ms for non-realtime services.
Multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS): MBMS shall be further

enhanced and is then referred to as E-MBMS.
Costs: Reduced CAPEX and OPEX including backhaul shall be achieved. Costeffective migration from Release 6 UTRA radio interface and architecture shall be possible. Reasonable system and terminal complexity, cost, and power consumption
shall be ensured. All the interfaces specified shall be open for multivendor equipment
interoperability.
Mobility: The system should be optimized for low mobile speed (0 to 15 km/h), but
higher mobile speeds shall be supported as well, including high speed train environment as a special case.
Spectrum allocation: Operation in paired (frequency division duplex / FDD mode)

and unpaired spectrum (time division duplex / TDD mode) is possible.
Co-existence: Co-existence in the same geographical area and co-location with

GERAN/UTRAN shall be ensured. Also, co-existence between operators in adjacent
bands as well as cross-border co-existence is a requirement.
Quality of Service: End-to-end quality of service (QoS) shall be supported. VoIP

should be supported with at least as good radio and backhaul efficiency and latency
as voice traffic over the UMTS circuit switched networks.
Network synchronization: Time synchronization of different network sites shall not

be mandated.
3.2 LTE Downlink Transmission Scheme

The downlink transmission scheme for E-UTRA FDD and TDD modes is based on conventional OFDM. In an OFDM system, the available spectrum is divided into multiple
carriers, called subcarriers, which are orthogonal to each other. Each of these subcarriers
is independently modulated by a low rate data stream.
16
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
OFDM is used as well in WLAN, WiMAX and broadcast technologies like DVB. OFDM
has several benefits including its robustness against multipath fading and its efficient
receiver architecture.
The following figure 3-1 shows a representation of an OFDM signal (3GPP TR 25.892
[2]). In this figure, a signal with 5 MHz bandwidth is shown, but the principle is of course
the same for the other E-UTRA bandwidths. Data symbols are independently modulated
and transmitted over a high number of closely spaced orthogonal subcarriers. In E-UTRA,
downlink modulation schemes QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM are available.
In the time domain, a guard interval may be added to each symbol to combat inter-OFDMsymbol-interference due to channel delay spread. In E-UTRA, the guard interval is a
cyclic prefix which is inserted prior to each OFDM symbol.
Fig. 3-1: Frequency-Time Representation of an OFDM Signal (3GPP TR 25.892 [2])
In practice, the OFDM signal can be generated using the inverse fast Fourier transform
(IFFT) digital signal processing, as described in 3GPP TS 25.892, Feasibility Study for
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for UTRAN enhancement (Release
6). The IFFT converts a number N of complex data symbols used as frequency domain
bins into the time domain signal. Such an N-point IFFT is illustrated in figure 3-2, where
a(mN+n) refers to the nth subchannel modulated data symbol, during the time period
mTu < t (m+1)Tu.
Fig. 3-2: OFDM useful symbol generation using an IFFT (3GPP TR 25.892 [2])
The vector sm is defined as the useful OFDM symbol. It is the time superposition of the
N narrowband modulated subcarriers. Therefore, from a parallel stream of N sources of
17
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
data, each one independently modulated, a waveform composed of N orthogonal subcarriers is obtained, with each subcarrier having the shape of a frequency sinc function
(see figure 3-1).
The figure 3-3 illustrates the mapping from a serial stream of QAM symbols to N parallel
streams, used as frequency domain bins for the IFFT. The N-point time domain blocks
obtained from the IFFT are then serialized to create a time domain signal. Not shown in
the figure is the process of cyclic prefix insertion.
Fig. 3-3: OFDM Signal Generation Chain (3GPP TR 25.892 [2])
In contrast to an OFDM transmission scheme, OFDMA allows the access of multiple

users on the available bandwidth. Each user is assigned a specific time-frequency
resource. As a fundamental principle of E-UTRA, the data channels are shared channels,
i.e. for each transmission time interval of 1 ms, a new scheduling decision is taken
regarding which users are assigned to which time/frequency resources during this transmission time interval.
3.2.1 OFDMA Parameterization

Two radio frame structures, one for FDD (frame structure type 1) and one for TDD (frame
structure type 2) mode are defined. These EUTRA frame structures are described in
3GPP TS 36.211 [3].
3.2.1.1
Frame structure type 1 (FDD)

The FDD frame structures type 1 is based on a 10 ms radio frame that is divided into 20
equally sized slots of 0.5 ms. A subframe consists of two consecutive slots, so one radio
frame contains 10 subframes.
The figure below illustrates frame structure type 1 (Ts is expressing the basic time unit
corresponding to 30.72 MHz). Frame format 1 is applicable to both full and half duplex
FDD.

For information on the related settings, refer to "Duplexing" on page 79, chapter 7.5,
"DL Frame Configuration Settings", on page 127 and chapter 7.11, "OFDMA Timeplan", on page 176.
3.2.1.2
Frame structure type 2 (TDD)

The TDD frame format 2 is also based on a 10 ms radio frame, but the frame is divided
into two half-frames, 5 ms each. Each half-frame consists of five 1 ms long subframes,
which are reserved either for downlink or uplink transmission or are caring special information (see figure below).
Fig. 3-5: Frame format 2 (TDD mode), 5 ms switching periodicity
All non-special subframes are divided into two 0.5 ms long slots. The special subframes
consist of three fields DwPTS (Downlink Pilot Timeslot), GP (Guard Period) and UpPTS
(Uplink Pilot Timeslot) which length can vary in specified limits so that the total special
subframe's length is maintained constant (1 ms). The 3GPP specification defines nine
special subframe configurations per cyclic prefix type that specified the allowed DwPTS/
GP/UpPTS lengths' combinations.
The 3GPP specification defines seven different uplink-downlink configurations, i.e.
defines the downlink-to-uplink switch-point periodicity (5 ms or 10 ms) and the allowed
combination of downlink, uplink and special slots. In all the uplink-downlink configurations
and for any downlink-to-uplink switch-point periodicity, subframe 0, subframe 5 and
DwPTS are always reserved for downlink transmission and UpPTS and the subframe
following the special subframe are always reserved for uplink transmission.
The table below shows the supported uplink-downlink configurations according to TS
36.211 [3], where "D" denotes a subframe reserved for downlink transmission, "U"
denotes a subframe reserved for uplink transmission, and "S" denotes the special subframe.

3.2.2 Downlink Resource Grid

The figure 3-7 shows the structure of the downlink resource grid for the duration of one
subcarriers with a spacdownlink slot. The available downlink bandwidth consists of
ing of f = 15 kHz. In the case of multi-cell MBMS transmission, a subcarrier spacing of
f = 7.5 kHz is also possible.
can vary in order to allow for scalable bandwidth operation up to 20 MHz. Initially, the bandwidths for LTE were explicitly defined within layer
1 specifications. Later on a bandwidth agnostic layer 1 was introduced, with
for the
different bandwidths to be specified by 3GPP RAN4 to meet performance requirements,
e.g. for out-of-band emission requirements and regulatory emission limits.

Introduction
One downlink slot consists of

is appended as guard time, compare figure 3-1.
depends on the cyclic prefix length.
The generic frame structure with normal cyclic prefix length contains
= 7 symbols.
This translates into a cyclic prefix length of TCP5.2s for the first symbol and TCP4.7s
for the remaining 6 symbols. Additionally, an extended cyclic prefix is defined in order to
cover large cell scenarios with higher delay spread and MBMS transmission. The generic
= 6 OFDM symframe structure with extended cyclic prefix of TCP-E16.7s contains
bols (subcarrier spacing 15 kHz). The generic frame structure with extended cyclic prefix
of TCP-E33.3s contains
= 3 symbols (subcarrier spacing 7.5 kHz). The table 3-1
gives an overview of the different parameters for the generic frame structure.

3.2.3 Downlink Data Transmission

Data is allocated to the UEs in terms of resource blocks. A physical resource block consists of 12 (24) consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain for the f=15 kHz
(f=7.5 kHz) case. In the time domain, a physical resource block consists of DL Nsymb
consecutive OFDM symbols, see figure 3-7. NDLsymb is equal to the number of OFDM
symbols in a slot. The resource block size is the same for all bandwidths, therefore the
number of available physical resource blocks depends on the bandwidth. Depending on
the required data rate, each UE can be assigned one or more resource blocks in each
transmission time interval of 1 ms. The scheduling decision is done in the base station
(eNodeB). The user data is carried on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
For information on the related settings, refer to chapter 7.6, "Enhanced PBCH, PDSCH
and PMCH Settings", on page 137.
3.2.4 Downlink Control Information Transmission

Control Information is mapped to the resource elements in terms of resource elements
groups (REG). A REG consists of four consequent resource elements within one resource
block which are not used for cell-specific reference signals. Thus, there are two types of
resource blocks, resource blocks containing three REGs and resource blocks containing
only two REGs.
21
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
Two REGs are available within the OFDM symbols with allocated reference signals, i.e.
the OFDM symbol 0 in the first slot in a subframe, as well as in the OFDM symbol 1 in
case of four-antenna system. Three REGs are then available in the OFDM symbols 2,
as well as in the OFDM symbol 1 in case of one- or two-antenna system (see figure 3-8 and figure 3-9).
Fig. 3-8: Resource elements groups (REG)
Three physical DL channels are carrying the control information: the Physical Control
Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH), the Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel
(PHICH) and the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
The PCFICH carries the information about the number of OFDM Symbols used for
transmission of PDCCH in a subframe and is mapped to four REGs within the first
OFDM Symbol.
The PHICH carries the HARQ ACK/NACK messages and is transmitted in terms of
PHICH groups. A PHICH group uses three REGs. For normal CP, a PHICH group
consists of up to eight ACK/NACK messages. Four ACK/NACK messages are carried
by one PHICH group if an extended CP is used.
For frame format 1 and non-MBSFN transmission, the PHICH can be transmitted over
only the first OFDM symbol (this is the so called normal PHICH duration) or in case
of extended PHICH duration, over the first three OFDM symbols.
Downlink control signaling on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is

used to convey the scheduling decisions to individual UEs. The PDCCH is located in
the first OFDM symbols of a slot.
The maximum number of OFDM symbols used for the transmission of a PDCCH is
determined by the number of RB used, i.e. for channel bandwidth with less than or
equal to 10 RBs, four OFDM symbols are necessary (OFDM symbol 0...3) and
respectively for channel bandwidths greater than 10 RBs three OFDM symbols are
sufficient (OFDM symbol 0...2).
The minimum number of OFDM symbols used for the transmission of a PDCCH is
determined by the PHICH duration and the channel bandwidth.
The PDCCH is mapped to the REGs not used for PHICH and PCFICH and transmitted
on one or several control channel elements (CCEs), where a CCE corresponds to 9
REGs.

3.2.5 Downlink Reference Signal Structure and Cell Search

The downlink reference signal structure is important for cell search, channel estimation
and neighbor cell monitoring.
For the LTE downlink, four types of reference signals are defined:
Cell-specific downlink reference signals

The cell-specific reference signal are common signals in a cell, that are intended for
all UE within this cell.
chapter 3.2.5.2, "MBSFN reference signals", on page 25

These reference signals are used for channel estimation and demodulation of signals
transmitted by means of MBSFN.
UE-specific reference signal

These reference signals are intended for a specific user.
chapter 3.2.5.4, "Positioning reference signals", on page 27
For information on the related settings, refer to chapter 7.4.8, "Downlink Reference Signal
Structure", on page 124.
3.2.5.1
Cell-specific downlink reference signals

The figure 3-9 shows the principle of the downlink reference signal structure for oneantenna, two-antenna, and four-antenna transmission (antenna ports 0 .. 3). Specific
predefined resource elements in the time-frequency domain carry the reference signal
sequence. Besides first reference symbols, there may be a need for second reference
symbols. The different colors in the figure represent the sequences transmitted from up
to four transmit antennas.
23
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
Fig. 3-9: Downlink Reference Signal Structure (Normal Cyclic Prefix)
The reference signal sequence carries the cell identity. There are 504 unique physical
layer cell identities, grouped into 168 unique physical cell identity groups that contain
three unique identities each. Each reference signal is generated as a pseudo-random
sequence that depends on the physical layer cell identity.
24
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
Frequency hopping can be applied to the downlink reference signals. The frequency
hopping pattern has a period of one frame (10 ms).
During cell search, different types of information need to be identified by the handset:
symbol and radio frame timing, frequency, cell identification, overall transmission bandwidth, antenna configuration, and cyclic prefix length.
Besides the reference signals, synchronization signals are therefore needed during cell
search. EUTRA uses a hierarchical cell search scheme similar to WCDMA. This means
that the synchronization acquisition and the cell group identifier are obtained from different SYNC signals. Thus, a primary synchronization signal (P-SYNC) and a secondary
synchronization signal (S-SYNC) are defined with a pre-defined structure. They are
transmitted on the 72 center subcarriers (around DC subcarrier) within the same predefined slots (twice per 10 ms) on different resource elements, see figure 3-10. This figure
is taken from 3GPP TS 36.211, Physical Channels and Modulation (Release 8).
Fig. 3-10: P-SYNC and S-SYNC Structure (Normal CP; 1.25MHz bandwidth)
As additional help during cell search, a common control physical channel (CCPCH) is
available which carries BCH type of information, e.g. system bandwidth. It is transmitted
at predefined time instants on the 72 subcarriers centered around the DC subcarrier.
In order to enable the UE to support this cell search concept, it was agreed to have a
minimum UE bandwidth reception capability of 20 MHz.

MBSFN reference signals

MBSFN reference signals are defined fro extended cyclic prefix only. The MBSFN reference signals are transmitted on antenna port 4 and only when the PMCH is transmitted.

3.2.5.3
UE-specific reference signal

These reference signals are intended for a specific user and mapped to predefined
PDSCH RBs of this particular user. The resource elements predefined for the UE-specific
RS do not overlap with the resource elements reserved for the cell-specific reference
signals.
In case of single-antenna transmission, the UE-specific reference signals are transmitted
on antenna port 5, 7 or 8. If a spatial multiplexing is applied, the UE-specific reference
signals are transmitted on antenna ports 7 and 8.
The UE-specific RS are intended to be used for channel estimation and demodulation
instead of the common reference signals. One typical example of the application of UEspecific RS is the channel estimation and demodulation in case of beamforming transmission, also called transmission using antenna port 5.
In contrary to the common RS that are not precoded, the UE-specific RS are precoded
in the same way as the PDSCH they are mapped to.
The following figures show the mapping of the UE-specific reference signals to the
resource elements.

3.2.6 Downlink Physical Layer Procedures

For E-UTRA, the following downlink physical layer procedures are especially important:
Cell search and synchronization

See above.
Scheduling
Scheduling is done in the base station (eNodeB). The downlink control channel
PDCCH informs the users about their allocated time/frequency resources and the
transmission formats to use. The scheduler evaluates different types of information,
e.g. quality of service parameters, measurements from the UE, UE capabilities, and
buffer status.
Link adaptation
Link adaptation is already known from HSDPA as adaptive modulation and coding.
Also in E-UTRA, modulation and coding for the shared data channel is not fixed, but
rather is adapted according to radio link quality. For this purpose, the UE regularly
reports channel quality indications (CQI) to the eNodeB.
Hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ)

Downlink hybrid ARQ is also known from HSDPA. It is a retransmission protocol. The
UE can request retransmissions of incorrectly received data packets.
3.3 LTE Uplink Transmission Scheme

During the study item phase of LTE, alternatives for the optimum uplink transmission
scheme were investigated. While OFDMA is seen optimum to fulfill the LTE requirements
in downlink, OFDMA properties are less favorable for the uplink. This is mainly due to
28
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
weaker peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) properties of an OFDMA signal, resulting in

worse uplink coverage.
Thus, the LTE uplink transmission scheme for FDD and TDD mode is based on SC-FDMA
(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) with cyclic prefix. SC-FDMA signals
have better PAPR properties compared to an OFDMA signal. This was one of the main
reasons for selecting SC-FDMA as LTE uplink access scheme. The PAPR characteristics
are important for cost-effective design of UE power amplifiers. Still, SC-FDMA signal
processing has some similarities with OFDMA signal processing, so parameterization of
downlink and uplink can be harmonized.
There are different possibilities how to generate an SC-FDMA signal. DFT-spread-OFDM
(DFT-s-OFDM) has been selected for EUTRA. The principle is illustrated in the figure
below. This figure is taken from 3GPP R1-050584, "EUTRA Uplink Numerology and
Design".
For DFT-s-OFDM, a size-M DFT is first applied to a block of M modulation symbols.
QPSK, 16QAM and 64 QAM are used as uplink EUTRA modulation schemes, the latter
being optional for the UE. The DFT transforms the modulation symbols into the frequency
domain. The result is mapped onto the available subcarriers. In EUTRA uplink, only
localized transmission on consecutive subcarriers is allowed. An N point IFFT where N>M
is then performed as in OFDM, followed by addition of the cyclic prefix and parallel to
serial conversion.
Fig. 3-15: Block Diagram of DFT-s-OFDM (Localized Transmission)
The DFT processing is therefore the fundamental difference between SC-FDMA and
OFDMA signal generation. This is indicated by the term DFT-spread-OFDM. In an
SCFDMA signal, each sub-carrier used for transmission contains information of all transmitted modulation symbols, since the input data stream has been spread by the DFT
transform over the available sub-carriers. In contrast to this, each sub-carrier of an
OFDMA signal only carries information related to specific modulation symbols.
29
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
3.3.1 SC-FDMA Parameterization

The EUTRA uplink structure is similar to the downlink. An uplink radio frame consists of
20 slots of 0.5 ms each, and 1 subframe consists of 2 slots. The slot structure is shown
in the figure below. This figure is taken from 3GPP TS 36.211, Physical Channels and
Modulation (Release 8).
SC-FDMA symbols, where
= 7 for the normal cyclic prefix and
Each slot carries
= 6 for the extended cyclic prefix. SC-FDMA symbol number 3 (i.e. the 4th symbol
in a slot) carries the reference signal for channel demodulation.

Also for the uplink, a bandwidth agnostic layer 1 specification has been selected. The
table below shows the configuration parameters in an overview table.

Timeplan", on page 229 and chapter 7.18, "TDD Timeplan", on page 230.
3.3.2 Uplink Data Transmission

In uplink, data is allocated in multiples of one resource block. Uplink resource block size
in the frequency domain is 12 sub-carriers, i.e. the same as in downlink. However, not all
integer multiples are allowed in order to simplify the DFT design in uplink signal processing. Only factors 2, 3, and 5 are allowed.
The uplink transmission time interval (TTI) is 1 ms (same as downlink).
User data is carried on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
30
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
For information on the related settings, refer to chapter 7.12.6, "PUSCH Structure",
on page 185, chapter 7.14.5, "Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)",
on page 208 and chapter 7.15, "Enhanced PUSCH Settings", on page 221.
3.3.3 Uplink Control Information Transmission

In uplink, the control information is carried by the Physical Uplink Shared Channel
(PUSCH) or by the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), depending on whether an
uplink resource has been assigned to the user or not.
Control information (CQI reports and ACK/NACK information related to data packets
received in the downlink) is multiplexed with the PUSCH, if the user has been granted
with UL-SCH transmission.
The PUCCH carries uplink control information, e.g. CQI reports, HARQ ACK/NACK information or Scheduling Requests (SR), in case the user has not been assigned an UL-SCH
transmission. The PUCCH is transmitted on a reserved frequency region at the edges of
the total available bandwidth in the UL. One PUCCH resource comprises a pair of
resource blocks within slot 0 and 1 that are located in the upper and the lower part of the
spectrum. PUCCH is allocated as shown on the figure 3-17 (taken from 3GPP TS 36.211,
Physical Channels and Modulation (Release 8)).
Fig. 3-17: PUCCH Mapping
According to 3GPP 36.211, seven PUCCH formats are defined (see table 3-2).

The different PUCCH formats are mapped to the reserved PUCCH region, so that there
can be only one resource block per slot that supports a combination of PUCCH formats
1/1a/1b and 2/2a/2b.
For simultaneous transmission of multiple users on the PUCCH, different PUCCH
resource indices are used. Multiple users are distinguished within one resource block by
using different cyclic shifts (CS) of the CAZAC (Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation) sequence. For PUCCH formats 1/1a/1b additionally three different orthogonal cover
sequences (OC) can be used. For the different PUCCH formats, different number of
PUCCH resource indices are available within a resource block (see table below). The
actual number of the used orthogonal sequences is additionally determinate by the
parameter delta_shift, used to support working by different channel conditions.

3.3.4 Uplink Reference Signal Structure

Uplink reference signals are used for two different purposes: on the one hand, they are
used for channel estimation in the eNodeB receiver in order to demodulate control and
data channels. On the other hand, the reference signals provide channel quality information as a basis for scheduling decisions in the base station. The latter purpose is also
called channel sounding.
The uplink reference signals are based on CAZAC (Constant Amplitude Zero Auto- Correlation) sequences.

Signal Structure", on page 211 and chapter 7.14.7, "SRS Structure", on page 212.
3.3.5 Uplink Physical Layer Procedures

For EUTRA, the following uplink physical layer procedures are especially important:
Non-synchronized random access
The random access may be used to request initial access, as part of handover, when
transiting from idle to connected, or to re-establish uplink synchronization. The structure
is shown in the figure below. This figure is taken from 3GPP TS 36.211, Physical Channels and Modulation (Release 8).
Fig. 3-18: Random Access Structure, principle
Multiple random access channels may be defined in the frequency domain within one
access period TRA in order to provide a sufficient number of random access opportunities.
For the random access, a preamble is defined as shown in the figure below. This figure
is taken from 3GPP TS 36.211, Physical Channels and Modulation (Release 8). The
preamble length depends on the preamble format. The preamble bandwidth is 1.08 MHz
(72 subcarriers). Higher layer signaling controls in which subframes the preamble transmission is allowed, and the location in the frequency domain. Per cell, there are 64 random access preambles. They are generated from Zadoff-Chu sequences.
33
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
LTE MIMO Concepts
Fig. 3-19: Random Access Preamble
The random access procedure uses open loop power control with power ramping similar
to WCDMA. After sending the preamble on a selected random access channel, the UE
waits for the random access response message. If no response is detected then another
random access channel is selected and a preamble is sent again.
For information on the related settings, refer to chapter 7.12.5, "PRACH Settings",
on page 183, chapter 7.14.8, "PRACH Power Ramping", on page 219 and chapter 7.14.9, "PRACH Configuration", on page 219.
Uplink scheduling
Scheduling of uplink resources is done by eNodeB. The eNodeB assigns certain time/
frequency resources to the UEs and informs UEs about transmission formats to use.
Scheduling decisions affecting the uplink are communicated to the UEs via the Physical
Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the downlink. The scheduling decisions may be
based on QoS parameters, UE buffer status, uplink channel quality measurements, UE
capabilities, UE measurement gaps, etc.
Uplink link adaptation
As uplink link adaptation methods, transmission power control, adaptive modulation and
channel coding rate, as well as adaptive transmission bandwidth can be used.
Uplink timing control
Uplink timing control is needed to time align the transmissions from different UEs with
the receiver window of the eNodeB. The eNodeB sends the appropriate timing-control
commands to the UEs in the downlink, commanding them to adapt their respective transmit timing.
Hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ)
The Uplink Hybrid ARQ protocol is already known from HSUPA. The eNodeB has the
capability to request retransmissions of incorrectly received data packets.
3.4 LTE MIMO Concepts

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems form an essential part of LTE in order to
achieve the ambitious requirements for throughput and spectral efficiency. MIMO refers
to the use of multiple antennas at transmitter and receiver side.
34
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
LTE MIMO Concepts
3.4.1 Downlink MIMO

For the LTE downlink, a 2x2 configuration for MIMO is assumed as baseline configuration, i.e. 2 transmit antennas at the base station and 2 receive antennas at the terminal
side. Configurations with 4 or more antennas are also being considered.
Different MIMO modes are envisaged. It has to be differentiated between spatial multiplexing and transmit diversity, and it depends on the channel condition which scheme to
select.
For information on the related settings, refer to
3.4.1.1
chapter 7.4.6, "MIMO", on page 119
chapter 7.6.2, "Precoding Settings", on page 138
chapter 7.9, "Antenna Port Mapping Settings", on page 172.
Spatial Multiplexing
Spatial multiplexing allows transmitting different streams of data simultaneously on the
same downlink resource block(s). These data streams can belong to one single user
(single user MIMO / SU-MIMO) or to different users (multi user MIMO / MU-MIMO). While
SU-MIMO increases the data rate of one user, MU-MIMO allows increasing the overall
capacity. Spatial multiplexing is only possible if the mobile radio channel allows it. The
figure below shows the principle of spatial multiplexing, exploiting the spatial dimension
of the radio channel which allows transmitting the different data streams simultaneously.
Fig. 3-20: Spatial multiplexing
In the figure above, each transmit antenna transmits a different data stream. Each receive
antenna may receive the data streams from all transmit antennas. The channel (for a
specific delay) can thus be described by the following channel matrix H:
35
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
LTE MIMO Concepts
In this general description, Nt is the number of transmit antennas, Nr is the number of

receive antennas, resulting in a 2x2 matrix for the baseline LTE scenario. The coefficients
hij of this matrix are called channel coefficients from transmit antenna j to receive antenna
i, thus describing all possible paths between transmitter and receiver side.
The number of data streams that can be transmitted in parallel over the MIMO channel
is given by min {Nt, Nr} and is limited by the rank of the matrix H. The transmission quality
degrades significantly in case the singular values of matrix H are not sufficiently strong.
This can happen in case the 2 antennas are not sufficiently de-correlated, for example in
an environment with little scattering or when antennas are too closely spaced.
Codewords and spatial layers
A block of information bits that can be separately procesed bofore it is transmitted in a
subframe, is called codeword [17].
A spatial layer indicates the number of spatial streams that can be simultaneously transmitted [17]. The number of layers for transmission is less than or equal to the number of
transmit antenna ports and depends on the rank of the matrix H.
In LTE, up to 2 codewords can be transmitted simultaneously and mapped onto different
layers. There is a fixed mapping between codewords to layers.
Precoding
Precoding on transmitter side is used to support spatial multiplexing, see figure below.
This is achieved by applying a precoding matrix W to the signal before transmission. The
figure is taken from [3] 3GPP TS 36.211, Physical Channels and Modulation (Release
8).
Fig. 3-21: Precoding principle
The optimum precoding matrix W is selected from a predefined "codebook" which is

known at eNodeB and UE side. Unitary precoding is used, i.e. the precoding matrices
are unitary: WHW = I. The UE estimates the radio channel and selects the optimum precoding matrix. The optimum precoding matrix is the one which offers maximum capacity.
The UE provides feedback on the uplink control channel regarding the preferred precoding matrix (precoding vector as a special case). Ideally, this information is made available
per resource block or at least group of resource blocks, since the optimum precoding
matrix varies between resource blocks. Figure below gives an overview of EUTRA downlink baseband signal generation including the above-mentioned steps relevant for MIMO
transmission. This figure is taken from [3] 3GPP TS 36.211, Physical Channels and
Modulation (Release 8).

Transmit Diversity
Instead of increasing data rate or capacity, MIMO can be used to exploit diversity. Transmit diversity schemes are already known from WCDMA release 99 and will also form part
of LTE as one MIMO mode. In case the channel conditions do not allow spatial multiplexing, a transmit diversity scheme will be used instead, so switching between these two
MIMO modes is possible depending on channel conditions. Transmit diversity is used
when the selected number of streams (rank) is one.
3.4.1.3
Beamforming
The beamforming is a method to shape the transmitted signal in the receiver's direction.
In LTE, the beamforming is defined as transmission mode 7 (Tx Mode 7). Beamforming
uses the special virtual antenna port 5 and is also called antenna port 5 transmission.
The channel estimation in a beamforming scenario is based on the UE-specific reference
signal.

EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
LTE MBMS Concepts
3.4.2 Uplink MIMO

Uplink MIMO schemes for LTE will differ from downlink MIMO schemes to take into
account terminal complexity issues. For the uplink, MU-MIMO can be used. Multiple user
terminals may transmit simultaneously on the same resource block. This is also referred
to as spatial domain multiple access (SDMA). The scheme requires only one transmit
antenna at UE side which is a big advantage. The UEs sharing the same resource block
have to apply mutually orthogonal pilot patterns.
To exploit the benefit of two or more transmit antennas but still keep the UE cost low,
antenna subset selection can be used. In the beginning, this technique will be used, e.g.
a UE will have two transmit antennas but only one transmits chain and amplifier. A switch
will then choose the antenna that provides the best channel to the eNodeB.
3.5 LTE MBMS Concepts

Support of MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services) is an essential requirement
for LTE. The so-called E-MBMS will therefore be an integral part of LTE.
In LTE, MBMS transmissions may be performed as single-cell transmission or as multicell transmission. In case of multi-cell transmission the cells and content are synchronized
to enable for the terminal to soft-combine the energy from multiple transmissions. The
superimposed signal looks like multipath to the terminal. This concept is also known as
Single Frequency Network (SFN). The EUTRAN can configure which cells are part of an
SFN for transmission of an MBMS service. The MBMS traffic can share the same carrier
with the unicast traffic or be sent on a separate carrier. For MBMS traffic, an extended
cyclic prefix is provided. In case of subframes carrying MBMS SFN data, specific reference signals are used (see chapter 3.2.5.2, "MBSFN reference signals", on page 25).
MBMS data is carried on the MBMS traffic channel (MTCH) as logical channel. The
MBMS control information is conveyed by the MBMS control channel MCCH. Both logical
channels, the MTCH and the MCCH, are mapped onto the physical multicast channel
PMCH in the multi-cell transmission case and on the PDSCH in case a single-cell transmission is used.
For information on the related settings, refer to chapter 7.4.2, "MBSFN Settings",
on page 103.
3.6 LTE-Advanced Introduction

In September 2009 the 3GPP Partners made a formal submission to the ITU proposing
that LTE Release 10 & beyond (LTE-Advanced) should be evaluated as a candidate for
IMT-Advanced.

3.6.1 Carrier Aggregation

To fulfill the requirements to even higher data rates as in the LTE Rel. 8, the LTE-A Rel.
10 specification uses the aggregation of multiple LTE carrier. Two or more component
carrier (CC) are grouped in order to support wider transmission bandwidths up to
100MHz. To an LTE REl. 8 terminal, each component carrier will appear as an LTE carrier, while an LTE Rel 10 terminal can exploit the total aggregated bandwidth. As backward compatibility is fulfilled, a LTE-advanced cell can serve both LTE Rel 8 and LTE Rel
10 terminals simultaneously.
Spectrum deployment may be either contiguous with adjacent component carriers, or
non-contiguous with non-adjacent component carriers (see figure 3-23). The individual
component carriers may belong to the same frequency band (intra-band) or even to different frequency bands (inter-band). Component carriers transmitted by the same eNodeB provide the same cell coverage.
Fig. 3-23: Carrier aggregation [18]
The LTE-A specification defines two different approaches about informing the UE about
the scheduling for each band: a separate PDCCH for each carrier or a common PDCCH
for multiple carriers (cross-carrier scheduling).
39
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
Fig. 3-24: LTE-A scheduling approaches
In the dedicated/non-cross-carrier approach, the PDCCH on a component carrier assigns

PDSCH resources on the same component carrier. The used PDCCH structure is identical to the LTE Rel. 8/9 PDCCH structure.
In the cross-carrier approach, the PDCCH on a component carrier assigns resources on
one of multiple component carriers. The component carriers are identified by the new
introduced DCI field, the CIF (carrier indicator field).
For information on the related settings, refer to chapter 7.4.1, "DL Carrier Aggregation
Configuration", on page 98, chapter 7.7, "Enhanced PCFICH, PHICH and PDCCH
Channel Configuration", on page 144 and chapter 7.8, "User Configuration Settings",
on page 169.
3.6.2 Enhanced Uplink SC-FDMA

The LTE-A Rel 10 enhances the uplink transmission scheme compared to the LTE Rel.
8 uplink with the following:
Control-data decoupling
In LTE Rel 8/9 a UE only uses physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) when it does
not have any data to transmit on PUSCH. I.e. if a UE has data to transmit on PUSCH,
it would multiplex the control information with data on PUSCH. This is not longer valid
40
EUTRA/LTE
Introduction
in LTE-Advanced, which means that simultaneous PUCCH and PUSCH transmission

is possible in uplink direction.
Non-contiguous data transmission

LTE-Advanced extends the uplink transmission scheme by allowing clustered
PUSCH, i.e. the uplink transmission is not anymore restricted to the use of consecutive subcarriers, but clusters of resource blocks may be allocated (two "Sets" of
consecutive PUSCH resource block groups according to resource allocation type 1
as defined in TS 36.213).

OFDMA physical layer parameterization is based on a bandwidth agnostic layer 1.

However, current 3GPP specifications focus on the channel bandwidth listed in
table 4-1.
Additionally, a user defined channel bandwidth can be configured. To configure the
bandwidth of the signal to be generated, the desired number of resource blocks can
be specified in a range from 6 to 110 resource blocks with a granularity of 1. This
results in bandwidths from 1.095 MHz19.815 MHz.

Both frame structure, frame structure type 1 for FDD and frame structure type 2 for
TDD, are supported.
For frame structure 2 (TDD mode), all special subframe configurations and all uplinkdownlink configurations as defined in the 3GPP specification are supported.
Both normal and extended cyclic prefix can be selected for a subcarrier spacing of
15 kHz. Parameterization of cyclic prefixes is according to 3GPP TS 36.211.
Note:
In this version, subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz. Subcarrier spacing of 7.5 kHz will be
supported in a later version.
Resource block size is 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain and, depending on

the cyclic prefix length, 7 or 6 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time-domain.
Note:
Resource block size of 24 subcarriers will be supported in a later version.
4.2 Reference Signals
LTE defines one reference signal per downlink antenna port (see table).
In the R&S Signal Generator, the mapping of the logical antenna ports 4 to 8 to the

There is a direct mapping of the CS-RS, i.e. antenna port 0 is mapped to Tx-antenna
1 solely, antenna port 1 is mapped to Tx-antenna 2 and so on.
R&S Signal Generator offers to select the physical Tx-antenna to simulate (1, 2, 3,
or 4), and adjust the correct reference signal pattern accordingly. An example for the
possible distribution of downlink reference signals for the normal cyclic prefix is shown
in figure 3-9. The reference signal pattern for the extended cyclic prefix is also done
according to 3GPP TS 36.211.
Availability of secondary CS-RS reference signal, subcarrier offset of the reference

signal sequence in the frequency domain and existence of empty resource elements
depend on the antenna selected.
Reference signal sequences are generated as a pseudo-random sequence. This

sequence is determinate by the cell ID, i.e. the combination of 168 physical cell identity groups and the 3 physical layer identities within each physical layer group.
Generation of reference signals for antenna port 4-8 depend on the availability of
MBSFN, PRS and beamformed PDSCHs.
4.3 Synchronization Signal (SYNC)
Primary and secondary synchronization signal (P-SYNC and S-SYNC) are supported.
In the FDD mode, the P-SYNC and S-SYNC are located on the last two OFDM symbols of slot (see figure 3-10). By default, the synchronization signals are transmitted
in slots 0 and 10 of the radio frame.
P-SYNC and S-SYNC are transmitted within the center 72/64 subcarriers. Resource
blocks containing P-SYNC/ S-SYNC thus have less resource elements available for
user data allocation.
By default, P-SYNC and S-SYNC are enabled but the synchronization signals can
be disabled independently in the signal generator.
Power of the P-SYNC and S-SYNC can be set independently in the signal generator.
4.4 Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)
By default, the PBCH is located over 4 consecutive OFDM symbols in the first four
OFDM symbols (symbol number 0 .. 3) of slot 1 of subframe 0 for normal CP. The
44
EUTRA/LTE
Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH)
default location of the four PBCH symbols for extended CP start in the second OFDM
symbol (symbol number 2..5) of slot 1 of subframe 0. The figure 4-1 shows the default
location of PBCH in case of normal CP.
Fig. 4-1: Default location of PBCH for normal CP
PBCH repetition interval is once per frame of 10 ms. Position of PBCH within the
subframe 0 is according to 3GPP TS 36.211. However, R&S Signal Generator allows
modification of the PBCH in terms of PBCH start symbol within the radio subframe
(0..13 for normal CP) and length in symbols (1..14 for normal CP).
PBCH is QPSK modulated; scrambling and channel coding can be additionally activated or deactivated.
If channel coding is activated, one block of data (Transport Block Size of 24) is coded
jointly and then spread over four frames. Hence, the ARB "Sequence Length" has to
be set accordingly to be a multiple of four.
PBCH is occupying the center 72 subcarriers around DC subcarrier.
4.5 Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH)
PCFICH is QPSK modulated; scrambling can be additionally activated or deactivated.
PCFICH is layer mapped and precoded according to 3GPP TS 36.211.
The power of the PCFICH is configurable.
4.6 Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel (PHICH)
PHICH is BPSK modulated.
PHICH is layer mapped and precoded according to 3GPP TS 36.211.
Different orthogonal sequences are used for the PHICHs within the same PHICH
group.
The power of the PHICH is configurable.
45
EUTRA/LTE
Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)
4.7 Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)
PDCCH is layer mapped, precoded and mapped to the resource elements (incl. permutation and cyclically shifting) according to 3GPP TS 36.211.
The power of the PDCCH is configurable.
All DCI formats are supported and can be configured with full flexibility.
4.8 Physical Multicast Channel (PMCH)

In this version of the firmware, the following limitations apply:
The simulated BS belongs to only one MBSFN areas.

All radio resources reserved for MBSFN subframes are assigned to one MBSFN area,
i.e. the MBSFN Area fills all MBSFN subframes signaled by SIB Type 2.
Only one MBSFN-SubframeConfig is configurable.
One MCCH per MBSFN is supported. The MCCH is mapped to the first active MBFSN
subframe within one MCCH repetition period.
The parameters "Radio frame allocation offset", "MCCH offset" and "Notification offset" are set to identical values in order to simplify the MBSFN configuration.
4.9 Data Allocations
The Physical Resource Block size is 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain for all
bandwidth options.
Localized transmission is assumed.

For localized transmission, the numbering of resource blocks starts with the left-most
(lower frequency) used subcarriers of the frequency band. The numbering starts with
zero. With the FFT-shift, the DC carrier is moved to the first position, which is required
to be conform to the standard IFFT input. This is illustrated in the figure 4-2.
Fig. 4-2: Numbering of Resource Blocks
According to 3GPP 36.211, the modulated data symbols are mapped onto the subcarriers first along the frequency axis starting with the lowest resource block number,
then along the available OFDM symbols. This is true also for non-adjacent resource
blocks for the same user. This is illustrated in the figure below.
46
EUTRA/LTE
Modulation Mapping
Fig. 4-3: Data symbol numbering
In case pre-defined symbols (e.g. reference symbols, P-SYNC/S-SYNC, PBCH) are

transmitted in a subframe, the number of available data symbols for user data allocation is reduced in a resource block.
Data allocation can be changed for each subframe.
PDSCH is scrambled, channel coded, precoded and layer mapped according to

3GPP TS 36.211. Additionally, channel coding configuration can be changed per
PDSCH data allocations.
4.10 Modulation Mapping

The modulation mapping in downlink is done according to 3GPP TS 36.211. All modulation schemes of 3GPP TS 36.211 are supported.
4.11 MIMO
R&S Signal Generator supports all downlink precoding schemes of 3GPP TS 36.211.
R&S Signal Generator supports all downlink layer mapping schemes of 3GPP TS
36.211.
47
EUTRA/LTE
SC-FDMA Parameterization
4.12 SC-FDMA Parameterization
SC-FDMA physical layer parameterization is based on a bandwidth agnostic layer 1.

However, current 3GPP specifications focus on the channel bandwidths listed in
table 4-1.
Additionally, a user defined channel bandwidth can be configured. To configure the
bandwidth of the signal to be generated, the desired number of resource blocks can
be specified in a range from 6 to 110 resource blocks with a granularity of 1. This
results in bandwidths from 1.08 MHz19.8 MHz.
Both frame structures according to 3GPP TS 36.211 are supported.
Both normal and extended cyclic prefix are supported.
4.13 Demodulation Reference Signal (DRS)
If the uplink demodulation reference signal (DRS) is multiplexed with the PUSCH, the
DRS is carried within the 3rd or 4th SC-FDMA symbol of a slot (i.e. symbol number
l = 2 or l=3), depending on the cyclic prefix type. If the DRS is multiplexed with the
PUCCH, the SC-FDMA symbol the uplink DRS is carried within depends on the
PUCCH format and the cyclic prefix (see table 3-2).
The demodulation reference signal (DRS) spans the same bandwidth as the data
allocation.
The generation of DRS sequence is according to 3GPP TS 36.211. A CAZAC

sequence is used and the DRS is derived from a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence using
the extension method.
4.14 Sounding Reference Signal (SRS)
The generation of SRS sequence is according to 3GPP TS 36.211.
Orthogonality of the SRS signal can also be achieved when using different SRS cyclic
shifts.
No PUSCH is transmitted in the symbol where the sounding reference signal is transmitted.
PUCCH and SRS are not transmitted in the same subframe, except the transmission
of SRS and PUCCH format 1, 1a, 1b or 3 in the same subframe is explicitly enabled
for a UE.

EUTRA/LTE
Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)
4.15 Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)

If R&S FSQ Signal Analyzer is used for signal analysis of signal generated by the R&S
Signal Generator equipped with option Digital Standard EUTRA/LTE, be aware that up
to Release 2.1 of the LTE Option FSQ-K101 the two resource blocks at each edge of the
spectrum are not analyzed.
Position of PUCCH can be configured in terms of PUCCH region.
The content of PUCCH can be set individually for each TTI.
All seven PUCCH formats as defined in the 3GPP TS 36.211 are supported.
One of 12 cyclic shifts (5 for PUCCH format 3) and for PUCCH formats 1/1a/1b one
of three orthogonal codes can be selected indirectly by choosing the appropriate
PUCCH index.
For configuration of multi user PUCCH tests according to 3GPP TS 36.141, annex
A9, set the n_PUCCH parameter to the value defined in table A.9-1, column "RS
orthogonal cover / ACK/NACK orthogonal cover". The R&S Signal Generator calculates and configures automatically the values defined in the columns "Cyclic shift
index" and "Orthogonal cover index".
4.16 Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)
All PRACH configurations for random access preamble timing for preamble format
0-4 and frame structure type 1 and 2 are supported.
4.17 Data Allocation
Both resource allocation types type 0 and type 1 are supported
Frequency hopping is supported.
Resource block size is 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain.
A generation of uplink signals for up to 4 UEs is supported.
Data can be allocated per subframe.
Channel coding is performed according to 3GPP 36.212.
TTI length is 1 ms.
The modulated data symbols are mapped onto the resource elements according to
3GPP 36.211.
Numbering of subcarriers is done according to the figure 4-4.
49
EUTRA/LTE
Modulation Mapping
Fig. 4-4: Numbering of the subcarriers
The baseband signal is shifted in the frequency domain by half a subcarrier distance.
According to 3GPP 36.211, the spectral shift is carried out symbolwise, i.e. per SCFDMA symbol.
4.18 Modulation Mapping
The modulation mapping in uplink is done according to 3GPP TS 36.211. All modulation schemes of 3GPP TS 36.211 are supported.

R&S Signal Generator Specific Information

Conflict Handling in the R&S Signal Generator
5 R&S Signal Generator Specific Information

The different topics discussed in the following give essential information for better understanding and effective work with R&S Signal Generator equipped with options EUTRA/
LTE R&S SMx/AMU-K55/-K255/-K69/-K81/-K84/-K85. The topics provide information
about some specific functions of the R&S Signal Generator.
5.1 Conflict Handling in the R&S Signal Generator

In 3GPP TS 36.211 [3], physical signals and physical channels are defined for the
EUTRA/LTE system. Therefore the available resources in the time-frequency domain are
shared by the different signals and different kinds of allocations (comparable to the different channel types in the 3GPP FDD mode).
5.1.1 Downlink
In the current R&S Signal Generator release, the following types of signals and channels
for the downlink are supported:
Reference Signal
Primary Synchronization Signal (P-SYNC)
Secondary Synchronization Signal (S-SYNC)
Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)
Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), including PCFICH and PHICH
Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)
Reserved channel
Due to the concept of the R&S Signal Generator different situations may appear that need
clarification. If several signals and/or channels (of the same or different type) partly share
the same resources, a decision has to be made what bits are really mapped to the affected
subcarriers. The general rule here is that the signal or channel with the higher priority is
transmitted completely while the affected subcarriers are stamped out of the lower priority
signal or channel respectively. Note that this reduces the number of available physical
bits of a signal/channel.
The actual size of a certain allocation is displayed in the column Physical Bits of the
resource allocation table.
The following picture shows the priorities of the different signal and channel types.
51
EUTRA/LTE

Fig. 5-1: Priority of different allocations, channels and signals in the downlink
Overlapping of signals and/or channels with different priorities

In case signals and/or channels (e.g. P-SYNC and PDSCH) of different priorities
overlap, no conflict is displayed in the resource allocation table, as the signal/channel
with the higher priority is transmitted completely.
Overlapping of allocations with the same priority

If different allocations of the same priority are overlapping, the one with the lower
allocation index (i.e. which comes first) in the resource allocation table is treated with
higher priority. In this case the reduced allocation is marked in the conflict column of
the resource allocation table.
There is no way to configure a signal with overlapping reference signal and P-SYNC/SSYNC.
If PRS and MBSFN is configured to be in the same subframe, MBSFN is skipped and
PRS is transmitted solely.
If a PDSCH is configured to overlap partially with the PRS bandwidth in a PRS subframe,
the PRS in these resource blocks are skipped then (see example "Overlapping PDSCH,
PRS and MBSFN" on page 126).
5.1.2 Uplink
In the uplink implementation of the R&S Signal Generator it is possible to configure different user equipments (UEs) to use the same physical resources. The signals of the
different UEs are simply added, but nevertheless a conflict is indicated in the resource
allocation table.
52
EUTRA/LTE

Although a conflict is also displayed if the PUSCH and PUCCH allocations of one UE are
overlapping, the signals of both allocations are added. However, a conflict can occur
between the sounding reference signal of a certain UE and the PUSCH of another UE.
5.1.3 DCI Conflict Handling

The R&S Signal Generator allows you to configure multiple scheduling messages with
their corresponding PDCCHs per subframe. Using the DCI table in the Enhanced
PCFICH, PHICH and PDCCH Channel Configuration dialog, the position of the DCI/
PDCCH inside the multiplexed bit stream can be freely configured by setting the appropriate CCE index.
Since the number of CCEs for each PDCCH may vary, the 3GPP specification TS 36.211
[3], chapter 6.8.1 defines some restriction on the aggregation of CCEs. An aggregation
of eight CCEs for instance can only start on CCE numbers evenly dividable by eight. The
same principle applies to the other aggregation levels. If this restriction is not fulfilled or
two CCEs are overlapping, a conflict is displayed for the DCI/PDCCH with the greater
number. This DCI/PDCCH is not considered by the multiplexing, i.e. it is not transmitted.
The operations "Append", "Insert", "Delete", "Up", "Down" and "Resolve Conf." are provided for flexibly configuration of valid DCIs and for resolving of conflicts.
53
EUTRA/LTE

Example:
In this example, the DCI table of a control channel with a total "Number of 26 Available
CCEs" is configured.
The reason for the conflict displayed for the second DCI/PDCCH is that the CCEs allocated for the second DCI/PDCCH are overlapping with the CCEs used by the first one.
The second DCI/PDCCH is ignored by the multiplexing.
One of the ways to overcome this problem and to resolve the DCI conflict is to use the
Resolve Conflicts function of the software. The built-in algorithm re-assigns automatically
the CCE values depending on the configured "Search Space"; previously configured CCE
values will not be maintained. The calculated signal is suitable for receiver tests that
demand conflict free CCEs but have no requirements on explicit CCE values. If the conflict can not be resolved automatically, the values are left unchanged.
If however there is a requirement for CCE Indexes with explicit values, the corrections
can be performed manually. In this example for example, set the CCE index of the third
DCI/PDCCH to 4.
Now the CCEs used by the two subsequent DCIs/PDCCHs are not overlapping and the
two DCIs/PDCCHS are configured to be transmitted consecutive, i.e. there is no gap
between them ("No. Dummy CCEs" = 0).
The figure below shows the resulting PDCCH after multiplexing for this example.
If "Activate Carrier Aggregation > ON", the parameter DCI Table determines the component carrier the corresponding User is mapped to. For this reason, there is no DCI conflict,
if in the example above the second DCI belongs to a User enabled on an SCell.
54
EUTRA/LTE

Subframes Handling in the R&S Signal Generator
5.2 Subframes Handling in the R&S Signal Generator

In the following the subframes handling concept and implementation in the R&S Signal
Generator is explained.
5.2.1 Copy/Paste Subframe

In order to simplify the configuration of the EUTRA/LTE signal the user has the possibility
to copy and paste settings from one subframe to another. Note that beside the cyclic
prefix length only the structure of PDCCH and PDSCH allocations for the downlink and
the PUSCH and PUCCH allocations for the uplink are copied. P-SYNC/S-SYNC, PBCH,
PRACH and Sounding Reference Signals are not considered. This is due to the fact that
the P-SYNC/S-SYNC are configured globally in the "General DL Settings" menu and can
therefore not be overwritten in the "Frame Configuration - DL" menu; the PBCH can only
be configured in subframe 0 and can therefore also not be overwritten. Respectively, the
Sounding Reference Signal and the PRACH are configured individually for each user
equipment in the User Equipment Configuration dialog.
Copying allocations from a subframe without P-SYNC/S-SYNC/PBCH to one with PSYNC/S-SYNC/PBCH and vice versa might lead to conflict situations. In this case the
rules discussed in chapter 5.1, "Conflict Handling in the R&S Signal Generator",
on page 51 become effective.
However, configurations can occur where in different subframes allocations which are
identical by means of scheduled resource blocks have a different amount of physical bits
available, due to the out stamping of overlapping subcarriers.
5.2.2 Number of Configurable Subframes

Another possibility to simplify the configuration of the EUTRA/LTE signal for the user is
to configure only a small number of subframes manually and then let the EUTRA/LTE fill
the remaining signal periodically with the configured subframes. Internally the Copy/
Paste Subframe functionality is used, so again only the structure of the PDCCH/PDSCH
in downlink and the PUCCH/PUSCH in uplink are copied, but no P-SYNC/S-SYNC/
PBCH/PRACH or sounding reference signals.
5.2.3 Four Configurable Frames in Uplink and Downlink Direction

The R&S Signal Generator supports the configuration of up to four frames in uplink and
downlink direction. However, there is a limitation for the maximum number of the real
configurable subframes in this four frames depending on the transmission direction and
several other parameters.
55
EUTRA/LTE

5.2.3.1
Uplink Direction
In uplink direction, the maximum number of the real configurable uplink subframes
depends on the selected Duplexing mode (TDD or FDD), TDD Frame Structure Settings and whether realtime feedback is enabled or not.
The maximum number of configurable subframes changes as function of the parameters
in the following way:
For Disabled Realtime Feedback

In FDD duplexing mode, the maximum number of configurable subframes is 40
subframes, where the maximum number of 40 subframes is available for
sequence lengths of at least four frames
In a TDD frame only the uplink subframes are enabled for configuration. The
maximum number of the configurable subframes is determined by the selected
"UL/DL Configuration" and the possible values are listed in the corresponding
column in the cross-reference table below.
For Enabled Realtime Feedback, the maximum number of configurable uplink subframes for the PUSCH channel of the first user equipment (UE 1) is determined by
the "Number of HARQ Processes", that itself also depends on the duplexing mode
and the UL/DL configuration.
For an overview of the possible values, see the corresponding column in the crossreference table 5-1.
The current subframe to be configured is selected by means of the parameter Subframe.

The configurable range ("Number of configurable uplink subframes") can be configured
independently for the individual user equipments. Furthermore, for Release 10 user
equipments, the range can be configured independently for the PUCCH and the PUSCH
channel.
Subframes behind the configurable range of the corresponding UE or channel are displayed as read-only.

Example:
5.2.3.2
For selected FDD duplexing mode, disabled realtime feedback and Number of Configurable Uplink Subframes set to 13, "Subframes" 0 ... 12 are configurable. Subframes from 13 on are readonly.
For selected TDD duplexing mode, "UL/DL Configuration = 6" and disabled realtime
feedback the "Number of Configurable Uplink Subframes" is in the range 1 .. 20 (see
table 5-1).
If for instance the "Number of Configurable Uplink Subframes" is set to 10, the following 10 subframes are configurable: 2,3,4,7,8,12,13,14,17,18.
These are the first 10 uplink subframes. All other subframes (downlink subframes,
special subframes and subframes from 19 on) are readonly.
For selected TDD duplexing mode, "UL/DL Configuration = 6" and enabled realtime
feedback, up to 6 HARQ processes can be configured and therefore1, 2, 3 or 6 configurable uplink subframes are available for the PUSCH channel of the first user
equipment.
If for instance the "Number of Configurable Uplink Subframes" is set to 6, the following
6 subframes are configurable: 2,3,4,7,8,12.
These are the first 6 uplink subframes. All other subframes (downlink subframes,
special subframes and subframes from 13 on) are readonly.
Downlink Direction
In downlink direction, the maximum number of the real configurable subframes depends
on the selected Duplexing mode (TDD or FDD), TDD Frame Structure Settings, whereas
in downlink direction the special subframes are also configurable (in addition to the
downlink subframes).
Since the realtime feedback functionality is an uplink feature, the maximal number of the
configurable subframes in downlink direction is not additionally limited by the number of
HARQ processes.
The subframe to be configured is selected by means of the parameter Subframe Selection. The maximum value for this parameter is then determined by the number of the last
configurable subframe (see also table 5-2).

5.3 Power Setting

The R&S Signal Generator equipped with option Digital Standard EUTRA/LTE
(R&S SMx/AMU-K55/K255) provides several possibilities to adjust the power level of the
generated LTE signal as well as to adjust the relations between the power levels of the
channels and signals in the LTE signal itself.
5.3.1 General Power Settings

The general power settings are as follow:
Output level (Pout) of the instrument

To adjust the value, select "Status bar > Level".
Power Offset Relative to Level Display is a parameter related to the level of the signal
at the output of the baseband part of the instrument. The parameter sets the relative
power offset of the selected baseband path compared to the power level displayed
59
EUTRA/LTE

Power Setting
in the header of the instrument. A value of 0 dB refers to the level set in the main
"Level" settings; a negative value lowers the level of the selected baseband.
Use this parameter to adjust the baseband output power compared to the baseband
power of the other baseband if the performed test case requires the signals of UEs
with different SNR and the same AWGN block is used. An example of such a test
scenario are the Multi user PUCCH tests as defined in the 3GPP specification
TS 36.141.
5.3.2 Downlink Power Settings

In downlink direction, the value displayed in the "Level" display defines the RMS level of
the output signal calculated upon several frames. In the FDD duplexing mode, the displayed RMS and the PEP values are valid for the whole frame, while in TDD duplexing
mode, the calculation is based only on the downlink parts of the frame, i.e. the DL subframes and the DwPTS (see also parameter "Power Reference" on page 239).
Additionally to the general power settings, the following settings are influencing the power

Downlink Reference Signal Structure
Synchronization Signal Settings, Synchronization Signal Settings
PBCH Power and PDSCH Power
PCFICH Settings,PHICH Settings , PDCCH Settings
Cell Specific Settings (Cell Specific Settings) and Cell Specific Settings
All DL power configurations are set relative to each other and the absolute power level
of one resource element during one sub-frame depends on the configuration during the
remaining sub-frames. If for instance the PDCCH power is set to 2 dB and a certain
PDSCH has a power of -3 dB, this means that the power level of the PDCCH sub-carriers
is with 5 dB higher than the power level of the PDSCH sub-carriers.
The basis for the calculation of the absolute power level of the channels and the signals
in DL direction is the power of one reference signal resource element. The value is displayed in the General DL Settings dialog by means of the parameter Downlink Reference
Signal Structure. Use this parameter to configure a specific absolute power of one Reference Signal's sub-carrier, like for example to set a required SNR defined for a 15kHz
sub-band.
To calculate the absolute power value a single Reference Signal sub-carrier, consider
the general power settings and the relative RS Power.
60
EUTRA/LTE

Power Setting
Example:
For the default setting of this firmware, the values of the related parameters are as follow:
"Level" = - 30 dB
"RS Power per RE relative to Level Display" = - 27.78 dB
"Power Offset relative to Level Display" = 0 dB
The absolute power level of a single Reference Signal sub-carrier is the sum of these
three values, i.e. -57.78 dBm.
If for instance the value of the PDSCH power is changed to - 3 dB, the absolute power
level of a PDSCH sub-carrier calculated based on the absolute power level of a single
Reference Signal is than -60.78 dBm.
5.3.3 Uplink Power Settings

Additionally to the General Power Settings, the following settings are influencing the
power of the output signal in uplink direction:
Power Reference
Power factors for PUSCH/PUCCH/PRACH/SRS
DRMS Power Offset (available for PUSCH and PUCCH)
UE Power
While generating an uplink signal, the power displayed in the "Level" display defines the
current RMS level at the output. The RMS and PEP values however are calculated based
upon different parts of the signal depending on the selected Power Reference in the
Filter/Clipping/Power Settings dialog.
"Power Reference" = "Frame RMS Power" (UL FDD) or "UL Part of Frame RMS
Power" (UL TDD)
In the FDD duplexing mode, the displayed RMS and the PEP values ("Level" and
"PEP") are valid for the whole frame, while in TDD duplexing mode, the calculation
is based only on the uplink parts of the frame, i.e. the UL subframes and the UpPTS.
Note: The absolute power of a single subframe depends also on the signal within of
the remaining subframes.
"Power Reference" = "UE Burst RMS Power" (UL FDD and UL TDD)
61
EUTRA/LTE

Power Setting
The displayed "Level" and "PEP" values are measured only for a certain burst of a
single UE. See the description of the parameter Power Reference for description of
the decision algorithm and how the reference bursts are selected.
Use this mode to simplify the setting up of the SNR required for the test cases defined
in the 3GPP specification TS 36.141, in case the PUSCH is not transmitted in every
subframe.

Realtime Feedback for Closed Loop BS Tests

Exemplary Testing Scenario
6 Realtime Feedback for Closed Loop BS Tests

The EUTRA/LTE uplink realtime feedback functionality requires the additional option
R&S SMx/AMU-K69 Closed Loop BS Tests. This option extends the EUTRA/LTE option
R&S SMx/AMU-K55 with the possibility to perform closed loop performance tests with
feedback as defined in 3GPP TS 36.141, chapter 8.
The Realtime Feedback Configuration is enabled only for UE1 in instruments equipped
with the option R&S SMx/AMU-K69.
Realtime Feedback Configuration is not available for the R&S Signal Generator SMBV
and for the simulation software R&S WinIQSIM2.
This feature allows the DUT to dynamically control the transmission of channel coded
data packets. By means of the feedback sent from the DUT to the R&S SMx/AMU, ACK/
NACK signaling (HARQ feedback) and timing adjustment is possible, similar to the feedback sent from a base station to a user equipment by means of the air interface (PDCCH/
PHICH channels).
By means of ACK/NACK commands, the DUT can control the channel coding configuration (i.e. the redundancy version) of the transmitted PUSCH packets in real time. The
behavior of the R&S SMx/AMU is similar to the behavior of the HARQ entity / the HARQ
processes of a real user equipment (according to 3GPP TS 36.321).
By means of timing adjustment/timing advance commands, the DUT can request time
shifts of the uplink signal generated by the R&S SMx/AMU and thus causing a delay or
advance of the uplink signal in real time (according to 3GPP TS 36.213).
6.1 Exemplary Testing Scenario

The testing specifications in TS 36.141, chapter 8, specifies the test setups. For example,
the test "Performance requirements for UL timing adjustment" (TS 36.141, section 8.2.2)
can be setup according to the figure 6-1.
One single R&S SMU/AMU is sufficient.
63
EUTRA/LTE

Feedback Modes
Fig. 6-1: Exemplary test scenario
If your instrument is equipped with internal fading and AWGN generators, no more test
equipment is required to perform the performance requirement test measurements. The
simulation of the propagation conditions according to the specified test scenarios is achieved by selecting the required fading profiles and an additive white Gaussian noise. For
more detailed description about the available fading profiles and how to work with the
fading simulator, refer to the description "Fading Simulator".
The feedback is transmitted from the DUT to the R&S SMx/AMU by means of the serial
protocol (serial mode). The test setup requires a 10 MHz external reference line between
the DUT and R&S SMx/AMU, and a common trigger source (downlink timing) for synchronization of the R&S SMx/AMU and the DUT.
1 = Baseband A generates the signal of the moving UE

2 = Baseband B generates the signal of the stationary UE
6.2 Feedback Modes

The test setups for performance verification require a feedback line from the DUT (base
station) to the signal source. The R&S SMx/AMU provides two interfaces for the necessary feedback line, a binary and a serial one, and two connectors, the LEVATT connector
64
EUTRA/LTE

Feedback Modes
and the USER1 connector. Both interfaces are suitable for HARQ feedback tests; for
testing of an UL timing adjustment however, a connection over a serial feedback line has
to be established.
The input impedance of the connectors and the low/high threshold voltage are configurable parameters. Use the "Global Trigger/Clock Settings" dialog and adjust the parameters "Threshold Trigger/Control Input" and "Impedance Trigger/Control Input" as
required.
6.2.1 Binary Mode

A binary line carries the information in form of a high and low voltage level and is sufficient
for the transmission of ACK and NACK commands. In the binary mode, the instrument
detects the voltage level at the input connector and depending on the configuration (see
parameter "ACK Definition" on page 205), the input level is interpreted as ACK or NACK.
6.2.2 Serial Mode

The serial line carries the information in form of commands where a command consists
of 16 data bits (D0..D15), 1 start bit (low level) and 1 stop bit (high level). No parity bit
has to be transmitted. The least significant bit (D0) is transmitted first.
The feedback commands are transmitted with a "Serial Rate" of 115.2 kbps, 1.6 Mbps or
1.92 Mbps. Between two consecutive commands or before the very first command, the
line has to be held on high level (idle).
6.2.3 Serial 3x8 Mode

In this mode, a command does not consist of one singular serial packet, but consists of
three serial packets.
Fig. 6-2: Structure of one feedback command in "Serial 3x8" mode
Each of the three packets consists of one start bit (low level), eight serial bits and one
stop bit (high level). No parity bits have to be transmitted. The sixteen data bits D0 ... D15
are distributed among the three times eight serial bits according to figure. The remaining
serial bits must have specified low or high levels according to the figure for synchronization purposes.
The three serial packets of the feedback commands are transmitted with a "Serial
Rate" of 115.2 kbps, 1.6 Mbps or 1.92 Mbps. Between two consecutive packets or
between two consecutive commands or before the very first command, the line has to be
held on high level (idle).

BB Selector
Message Type Selector
Message Bits
The BB Selector (D15-D14) determines for which of the baseband blocks the feedback command is for.
The R&S SMU/AMU can be equipped with up to two baseband blocks, where each
baseband block can simulate one UE with closed loop feedback. The BB selector
takes value in the range from 0 to 3 and can be arbitrarily assigned to each baseband
block. Therefore, you can send different feedback commands to different baseband
blocks over one feedback line.
Alternatively, several baseband blocks that use the same BB selector can share the
feedback commands, even if these baseband blocks are in different instruments
connected to the same feedback line.
The Message Type Selector (D13-D11) determines the message type and the command that is signaled (see table 6-2).

Fig. 6-4: Example of a serial feedback command (HARQ Feedback Auto)
6.3 Timing Aspects

The available number of messages per subframe in the downlink timing depends on the
feedback line used. A binary feedback line allows only one feedback message per subframe in downlink timing, whereas zero, one ore several feedback messages can be sent
over the serial or the serial 3x8 one.
6.3.1 Parameterization of the feedback timing

The parameterization of the feedback timing deppends on the "Feedback Mode" (binary,
serial or serial 3x8) and the selected "Distance Mode" (3GPP or direct response).
6.3.1.1
Timing for binary mode with 3GPP Distance Mode, serial or serial 3x8 mode
The figure bellow illustrates the parameterization of the feedback timing. The example
shows timing of feedback commands carrying the information that would be sent in a
PDCCH/PHICH channel in downlink subframe n, in comparison to the downlink signal of
the air interface. It is a prerequisite that the base station and the instrument are synchronized by means of a common trigger source and a 10 MHz reference line.
68
EUTRA/LTE

Timing Aspects
Fig. 6-5: Parameterization of the feedback timing
The exact timing of the feedback commands can be adjusted by the parameter Additional
User Delay.
6.3.1.2
In binary mode, an "Additional User Delay" of 0 means, the instrument reads the
binary feedback at the point in time that coincides with the beginning of the subframe
(in downlink timing), in which the respective information would be sent in the PDCCH/
PHICH channels over the air interface.
Note that the feedback level has to be held constant from 0.1 ms before this point in
time until 0.1 ms after this point in time.
For binary mode, the additional user delay can vary between -1.00 and 2.99 subframes.
In serial and serial 3x8 mode, an "Additional User Delay" of 0 means that all serial
feedback commands that contain information which would be sent in the PDCCH/
PHICH channels in one specific subframe, have to be sent inside a 0.8 ms time span
starting 0.1 ms after the beginning of this PDCCH/PHICH subframe (downlink timing)
and ending 0.1 ms before the end of this PDCCH/PHICH subframe.
For serial and serial 3x8 mode, the additional user delay can vary between -1.00 and
1.99 subframes.
Maximum number of serial feedback commands

The serial feedback commands and the individual serial packets of the serial 3x8 feedback command can be transmitted asynchronously inside the serial feedback span.
Technically, the instrument is able to process a maximum number of 40 serial commands
in one serial feedback span, independently from the baseband selectors. For Serial
Rate of 115.2 kbps, the number of commands is further limited due to their length and
the low bit rate. A maximum number of 5 commands fit into the 0.8 ms serial feedback
span. Up to three commands consisting each of three serial packets can be transmitted
within the 0.8 ms while using the serial 3x8 feedback.
6.3.1.3
Timing for binary mode with Direct Response Distance Mode

In binary mode, there is also another possibility for determining the uplink subframe, in
which the signaled feedback has the desired effect. In this "Direct Response Distance
Mode", the influenced uplink subframe is calculated from the position of the last sent
uplink packet of a HARQ process (see the examle on figure 6-6).
69
EUTRA/LTE

Timing Aspects
Supposing an initial timing advance of 0, an additional user delay of 0 would mean, that
the binary feedback to a specific uplink HARQ packet is expected by the instrument at
the point in time that coincides with the beginning of this uplink subframe, which does not
make sense. Therefore, for the "Direct Response Distance Mode", the allowed range of
the parameter "Additional User Delay" starts with +1.00 subframes.
The uplink subframe in which the signaled HARQ feedback has the desired effect is the
next uplink subframe corresponding to the HARQ process the feedback was for.
Note that the feedback level has to be held constant from 0.1 ms before until 0.1 ms after
the point in time when the instrument expects the binary feedback.
Fig. 6-6: Timing of feedback commands in Direct Response Distance Mode (Example for FDD).
6.3.2 Uplink Timing

The uplink subframe in which the signaled feedback has the desired effect is calculated
from the downlink subframe number n, according to 3GPP TS 36.213, section 4.2.3 (timing adjustment/timing advance commands) and chapter 8 (HARQ feedback commands).
This does not apply if binary mode with direct response distance mode is used.
The figure bellow depicts the principle of the uplink timing by means of an example of a
FDD mode with 8 active HARQ processes.
70
EUTRA/LTE

Timing Aspects
Fig. 6-7: Timing of feedback commands for serial or serial 3x8 mode (Example for FDD).
In FDD, due to invariant DL and UL subframe configuration and continuous DL and UL

transmission, the retransmission of data occurs in a predefined time after the initial transmission. In TDD however, such a fixed relation is not possible and the time varies
depending on the active UL/DL configuration.
A timing adjustment command corresponding to downlink subframe n causes a

timing adjustment of the uplink signal at the beginning of uplink subframe n+6.
A HARQ feedback command corresponding to downlink subframe n causes an

adjustment of the redundancy version in:
uplink subframe n+4, if FDD is used without subframe bundling operation and if
there is a PUSCH transmission scheduled in uplink subframe n+4.
uplink subframe n+k, with k given in table 8-2 of TS 36.213, if TDD is used with
UL/DL configurations 1 to 6 without subframe bundling operation and if there is
a PUSCH transmission scheduled in uplink subframe n+k
uplink subframe determined by the bits D4-D3 of the HARQ feedback command,
"HARQ Feedback Auto" or "HARQ Feedback with RV request" (see table 6-2),
in case of TDD transmission with UL/DL configuration 0.
Note that for binary HARQ feedback, both the subframes n+k and n+7 are modified, in case of TDD transmission with UL/DL configuration 0.
71
EUTRA/LTE

Avoiding Synchronization Problems
6.3.2.1
General timing rules

The first HARQ feedback recognized by the instrument after triggering is the feedback
responding to the first uplink PUSCH transmission. For example, if a PUSCH is scheduled
in uplink subframe 0 and if FDD without subframe bundling is used, the first HARQ feedback recognized by the instrument is the one affecting uplink subframe 8.
If no HARQ feedback command is received for a specific HARQ process in serial mode,
the instrument behaves as if NACK was signaled in a "HARQ Feedback Auto" command.
If there is a conflict between several HARQ feedback commands (because they would
affect the same uplink PUSCH transmission), only the last received HARQ feedback
command is considered.
The first timing advance or timing adjustment command that is recognized by the instrument after triggering is the one causing a timing adjustment at the beginning of uplink
subframe 8.
If no timing advance or timing adjustment command is received, then no timing adjustment is applied, (i.e. the timing advance in subframe n+6 will not be modified). If there is
a conflict between several timing advance or timing adjustment commands (because they
would affect the same uplink subframe), only the last received timing advance / adjustment command is considered.
If the serial or serial 3x8 mode is used, the serial line has to be held idle (high) during
downlink subframe 0.
6.4 Avoiding Synchronization Problems

In order to be able to successfully decode the transmitted uplink packets, both the signal
generator and the device under test have to keep track of the redundancy versions used
in the HARQ processes, because the device under test has to know which redundancy
version to expect at a certain point in time (subframe). Using the Assume ACK until first
received ACK command functionality may be necessary especially if the generator is
triggered by a normal frame marker of the device under test (DUT) and if the device under
test already is expecting uplink transmissions before the generator is triggered.
Examples
Consider the following examples:
"Redundancy Version Sequence" = 0,2,3,1
"Maximum Number of Transmissions" = 4
One HARQ process is shown
The device under test already is expecting uplink transmissions before the generator is
triggered. But as no uplink transmissions take place before the generator starts its signal
output, the device under test will not be able to successfully decode packets and therefore
will expect retransmissions with different redundancy versions. After triggering the generator by a frame marker, the following situation occurs, if - for example - the DUT expects
RV 3 after the generator was triggered.
72

Example: Disabled parameter "Assume ACK until first received ACK command"
The following table shows the situation after triggering the generator if the parameter

by a special marker indicating this). However, if only a frame marker is available from the
DUT, the "Assume ACK until first received ACK command" functionality can be enabled,
and the above example changes.

73
EUTRA/LTE

Limitation
6.5 Limitation
Although an arbitrary data source can be selected, the used user data before the channel
coding is the same in all subframes for all HARQ processes and for all transmissions.
If for instance a Transport Block Size of 47520 is configured and the Data Source is set
to PN9, then the first 47520 bits of the PN9 sequence are used as an input for all HARQ
processes (even after an ACK), regardless of the performed transmission. However,
since different redundancy versions are applied during the channel coding, the bit stream
at the output of the channel coder is different for the different retransmissions.

Sequence Length
Sets the sequence length of the signal in number of frames. One frame corresponds to
10 ms. The signal is calculated in advance and output in the arbitrary waveform generator.
The maximum number of frames is calculated as follows:
Max. No. of Frames = Arbitrary waveform memory size/(sampling rate x 10 ms).
If the Realtime Feedback functionality is enabled, the signal of UE1 does not depend on
the sequence length, since this signal is not calculated in advance. The configuration of
the sequence length is then only required, if also the signal of UE2, UE3 or UE4 is used.

7.2 LTE Logfile Generation

Logfile generation functionality requires the additional option R&S SMx/AMU-K81.
This functionality enables you to generate logfiles for exchanging intermediate results of
different logging points in the signal processing chain. Analysing the content of the logfiles
may help to verify the signal processing chain in both the DL and UL direction. The intermediate results provide a basis for enhanced debugging. To verify the FEC implementation of the DUT for instance, the coded bitstream from the instrument can be loaded
into a Rx software module for offline analysis in a simulation environment, or it can be
compared to the bitstreams from a Tx software module. Due to the full remote control of
this functionality, optimization of the design flow with process automatization can be
achived, too.
7.2.1 Signal Processing Chains and Logging Points

Logfile generation can be enabled after a completed processing step of the selected
channel, at the so called logging point. Logging points (PTxx) are available after each
completed processing stage up to the "Precoding", as shown on the figures bellow.
The results of the "Resource Element Mapping/OFDM Mapper" are not logged!
For detailed information about the signal processing of all channels, refer to the corresponding 3GPP specification.

7.2.2 Output Files

The instrument stores the output logfiles in a user-defined network directory, selected
with the parameter Output Path. The logfiles are named according to the naming conventions described in chapter 7.2.2.1, "File Names", on page 84. Description of the
available file formats is given bellow.
File Formats
Generally, the logfiles are generated in two file formats:
Bitstream
The logfile contains a sequence of "1" and "0"; one value per line
The logfile of the PHICH contains also the entry "-" that corresponds to DTX.
IQ Samples
The logfile contains pairs of I and Q samples; one I or Q sample per line
File format IQ Samples is used for the logfiles generated for the logging points "Modulation Mapping", "Layer Mapping" and "Precoding". The other logfiles are output in a Bitstream format.
An exception are the extended DCI/UCI logfiles (see "Extended DCI Logfile"
on page 88 and "Extended UCI Logfile" on page 90).

The instrument generates only one logfile with extended information regarding the DCI/
UCI mapping.
87
EUTRA/LTE

Extended DCI Logfile

An Extended DCI Logfile summarizes the information for the whole generated signal and
may contains information for more than one frame. The information is grouped in rows
with different syntax.
PCFICH mapping, i.e the resource elements the PCFICH REGs are mapped to
<Frame#>, <Subframe#>,
PCFICH: REG-Idx=<REG#>: Subcarrier=<Subcarrier#>,
Symbol=<OFDMSymbol#>
PHICH mapping, i.e the resource elements the PHICH REGs of the individual PHICH
groups are mapped to
PHICH: Group=<Group#>: REG-Idx=<REG#>: Subcarrier=<Subcarrier#>
, Symbol=<OFDMSymbol#>
PDCCH number of useful REGs

<Frame#>, <Subframe#>, PDCCH: Colums:<Colums#>, Rows:<Rows#>,
Useful REGs:<REG#>
The Number of Useful REGs corresponds to the value displayed with the parameter
Number of available REGs (PDCCH)Number of Available REGs.
The start CCE-Index of the individual DCIs

<Frame#>, <Subframe#>, DCI: DCI Idx=<DCI#>, Start CCE-Idx=<CCE#>
The DCI Idx corresponds to the row in the DCI Table and the Start CCE-Idx is the
CCE Index for the corresponding DCI.
PDCCH mapping, i.e the resource elements the PDCCH REGs of the individual
PDCCHs are mapped to
PDCCH: Idx=<Symbol#>: REG-Idx=<REG#>: Subcarrier=<Subcarrier#>
, Symbol=<OFDMSymbol#> [--- DTX REG]
The additional information DTX REG is assigned to all Dummy PDCCH REGs (see
"Number of Dummy REGs" on page 152 ).
Sub-carrier with index 0 is the most left sub-carrier, i.e. the one belonging to the resource
block 0.
88
EUTRA/LTE

Extended UCI Logfile

The Extended UCI Logfile summarizes the information for the whole generated signal
and may contains information for more than one frame. The information is grouped in
rows with the following syntax:
PUSCH <ChannelCodingMode> Number of Bits: No.HARQ Bits=<HARQ#>,
No.RI Bits=<RI#>,No.CQI Bits=<CQI#>,
No.coded HARQ Bits=<CodedHARQ#>,No.coded RI Bits=<CodedRI#>,
No.coded CQI Bits=<CodedCQI#>,No.coded UL-SCH Bits=<UL-SCH#>

Example:
The PUSCH carries multiplexed control information and data (UCI+UL-SCH) and the
channel is configured as shown on the figure bellow:
The first line of the logfile is:

F00,SF0,
PUSCH UCI+UL-SCH Number of Bits: No.HARQ Bits=3,No.RI Bits=2,No.CQI Bits=1
,
No.coded HARQ Bits=34,No.coded RI Bits=12,No.coded CQI Bits=4,No.coded UL-SC
7.2.3 Working with the Logfile Generation Functionality

The R&S Signal Generator generates logfiles only if the logging state is enabled. Adjusting the settings in the "Logfile Generation" dialog does not affect the content of the generated EUTRA/LTE signal and does not cause a recalculation of the signal. The generation of new logfiles is triggered by changing of a signal relevant EUTRA/LTE parameter
or by enabling/disabling the generation of EUTRA/LTE signal.
Activation of logfile generation slows down the calculation speed of the instrument.
Enable this function only if logfiles are explicitly requested.
91
EUTRA/LTE

General Workflow
To enable the generation of logfiles proceed as follow:
1. In the "EUTRA/LTE > Logfile Generation > Output Path" dialog, select the network
directory the logfiles are saved to, e.g. <root>logfiles and select a "Logging File
Preamble", e.g. 201008Log.
Note: The network directory should be empty. Existing logfiles are overwritten.
It is recommended to use different preambles to assure that previous logfiles are not
lost.
2. If required, enable "Extended DCI/UCI Logging".
3. Select the processing chain points for that logfiles are to be generated, e.g. "Point 3:
Channel Coding".
Tip: Not all of the available logging point are relevant for all channels. The processing
of the PBCH for instance does not include the step "Code block segmentation / CRC",
i.e. even if the Logging Point "Point 2: Code block segmentation / CRC" is enabled,
no logfile is generated (see table 7-1).
No logfiles are generated also in case that the corresponding processing step is disabled in the EUTRA/LTE dialog. For example, if channel coding and/or scrambling
are disabled for some channel, no logfiles for the Point 3 and/or Point 6/Point 8 are
available for this channel as long as these processing steps are not enabled.
4. Set the "Logging State" to On to enable logfile generation.
5. Adjust the EUTRA/LTE Settings as required and enable signal generation.
7.2.4 Logfile Generation Settings

To access this dialog, select "EUTRA/LTE > General > Logfile Generation".
The dialog is divided into three main areas. The first one is where the logfile generation is enabled and the settings of the output file are configured. In the second one,

7.4 General DL Settings / General TDD DL Settings

The "General DL Settings" dialog allows configuring the EUTRA/LTE system for transmission direction downlink, i.e. the signal of one BS or one cell.
The dialog consists of the sections DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration, MBSFN Settings,chapter 7.4.3, "Physical Settings", on page 116,TDD Frame Structure Settings,
Scheduling Settings, MIMO, Cell Specific Settings,Downlink Reference Signal Structure, Synchronization Signal Settings, Positioning Reference Signal Settings
Because the EUTRA/LTE standard defines no differences between TDD and FDD signals
on the physical layer if only one link direction is considered at once, the "General TDD
DL Settings" dialog comes with the same parameters as the "General DL Settings" dialog
and is only extended with the TDD Frame Structure Settings section.
In the "Physical Settings" section, the channel bandwidth respectively the number of
resource blocks per slot is selected. The other parameters are fixed and read-only.
96
EUTRA/LTE

The "TDD Frame Structure" section is available only, if the TDD is selected as a duplexing
mode. In this section, the TDD frame is configured by means of adjustment of the UL/DL
configuration and the special subframe configuration.
In the "K55 Configuration" section a selection is made, whether the PDSCH Scheduling
is performed manual or according to the configuration made for the DCIs.
In the "MIMO" section the global MIMO configuration and the simulated antenna are
selected.
In the "Cell Specific Settings" section, the physical layer cell identity settings and the DL
power control settings are configured.
In the "Downlink Reference Signal Structure" and the "Synchronization Signal Settings"
sections, the power level of the reference signals and the P-/S-SYNC can be set and the
P-/S-SYNC can be enabled or disabled.
97
EUTRA/LTE

The "Positioning Reference Signal Settings" section comprises the related settings.
7.4.1 DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration
Carrier Aggregation is an LTE-A (LTE Rel 10) feature enabled for instruments equipped
with software option R&S SMx/AMU-K85.
The "DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration" dialog provides the settings for the configuration of one primary cell (PCell) and up to four secondary cells (SCell). In real system,
the RRC messages signal all the relevant system information for a certain SCell. In this
implementation, all relevant and configurable SCell settings are grouped in the "DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration" dialog. The remaining cell-specific settings are identical
for all component carriers.
SCell settings derivation
The settings of each SCell are calculated automatically form the configured PCell settings
and depending on the parameters in the "DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration" dialog.
The following list provides an overview of the restrictions and interdependencies between
related parameters if DL Carrier Aggregation is enabled:
Combination of FDD and TDD is not possible.
Simultaneous support of LTE and LTE-A users is provided

(see User Configuration Settings > Activate CA).
The following settings in the PCell are not allowed:

"Channel Bandwidth = User"
"PDSCH Scheduling = Auto/DCI"
To enable cross-carrier scheduling, the DCI formats are extended to support the CIF
field. The DCIs have to be configured individually per component carrier.
In this firmware version, the "Auto/DCI" mode is always disabled and the component
carriers of the SCells use the same frame configuration as the PCell.
98
EUTRA/LTE

Support of cross-carrier scheduling in "Auto/DCI" mode will be available in future

version.
The "Control Region for PDCCH" of all component carrier/SCells is set to the same
value, unless the 3GPP standard specifies a specific value, e.g. in special subframes
in TDD mode.
The PHICH Duration of the SCells is adjusted automatically if required, i.e. if this
parameter is set to "Extended" in the PCell, the SCell are generated with extended
PHICH duration even if the "PDCCH Start" is not set properly for the SCell.
However, the PHICH Duration in a SCell will be adjusted if the selected narrow channel bandwidth in this SCell leads to not sufficient amount of PDCCH symbols. Consequently, different channel bandwidth results in different Number of available CCEs
(PDCCH).
The parameter Number of PHICH Groups may have different values in the SCells,
because it is calculated based on the parameter "N_g".
If a SCell spans channel bandwidth with less RBs than the PCell, the instrument
ignores the allocations or part of the them that is outside the channel bandwidth.
Limitation in the maximum LTE-A bandwidth

The LTE specification defines a maximumChannel Bandwidth of 20MHz and aggregation
of up to five component carriers to achieve 100MHz bandwidth.
The R&S Signal Generator configured to generate more than one component carrier per
baseband automatically applies the multi carrier function. In this case, the maximum
bandwidth of the generated LTE-A signal is restricted by the instrument's hardware.
In R&S SMU, the RF bandwidth of multi carrier signal is limited to 80MHz.
Using the maximum sampling rate, the R&S SMBV equipped with the options R&S
SMBV-B10/K522 can internally generate multi carrier signals with up to 160 MHz RF
bandwidth.
In this description, the terms cell and component carrier (CC) are used interchangeably.
Example: Enabling Carrier Aggregation and Cross-Carrier Scheduling

Tip: In the following, a general example is provided. Only the related settings are discussed.
1. In the first instrument, select "Baseband Block A > EUTRA/LTE" and configure the
settings of the PCell as required, e.g. select one of the predefined "Test Setups/
Models".
2. To enable carrier aggregation:
a) select "General DL Settings > DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration > Activate
Carrier Aggregation > ON"
b) select "DL Frame Configuration > Configure User" and enable/disable "Activate
CA" per user as required.
99
EUTRA/LTE

3. In the "General DL Settings > DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration > Component

Carrier Table" configure the settings of the SCells (see example on the following
figure).
4. To enable cross-carrier scheduling for a certain component carrier/SCell:

a) set the "DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration > schedCell Index" of this component carrier/cell to 0
In the example, the component carriers SCell#1, SCell#2 and SCell#4 can be
cross-scheduled over the PCell
b) enable the "DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration > CIF Present" parameter.
In this example, the component carriers SCell#1 and SCell#2 will be crossscheduled over the PCell.
c) To enable a component carrier/SCell, set "DL Carrier Aggregation Configuration
> State > ON".
5. Enable LTE signal generation "EUTRA/LTE State > ON".
6. If required, use the Fading simulator to configure the propagation conditions.
7. If required, adjust the RF frequency of path A to the middle frequency of the resulting
total signal bandwidth.
8. Activate the RF output.
The instrument will generate the signal in the path A as multi carrier signal, composed
of three carrier, the PCell, the SCell#1 and SCell#2. Each of these component carrier
spans "Channel Bandwidth" = 10MHz and the SCells use carrier frequency offset with
20MHz and 35MHz respectively.
In two path instrument, the SCell#3 will be generated by the path B. The instrument
uses the internal coupled mode, i.e. path B is controlled via path A. The signal generated by path B has identical parameters with the settings made for path A; the
component carrier specific parameters, e.g. "Channel Bandwidth" are set accordingly.
The SCell#4 is disabled.
If independent fading is required for each of the component carriers, configure one component carrier/cell per path, use the "Save/Recall" function to transfer the settings file to
further instruments and adjust the component carrier settings as required.
Provided are the following settings:

Baseband Component Carrier Table
Determines the baseband block that generates the selected component carrier.
Note: For two path instruments, setting this parameter to "Path B", enables LTE signal
simulation in the second path and will disable all other digital standards and digital modulation modes in this path.
Enabling path B to simulate a component carrier automatically couples path A and path
B, i.e. path B is controlled via path A. The signal generated by path B has identical
parameters with the settings made for path A; the component carrier specific parameters,
e.g. "Channel Bandwidth" are set accordingly.
If more than one component carriers are configured per baseband, the multi carrier function of the R&S Signal Generator is automatically enabled. In this case, the maximum
frequency offset "delta f" between the central frequencies of the cells is limited by the
instrument's hardware.
Note: The LTE-A signal is generated as multi carrier waveform by one baseband and
hence all the component carriers/cells can only be faded jointly.

7.4.2 MBSFN Settings
Configuration of the "MBSFN Settings" requires the additional software option R&S SMx/
AMU-K84.
The "MBSFN Settings" section comprises the parameters necessary to configure a
MBSFN transmission. Refer to chapter 3.5, "LTE MBMS Concepts", on page 38 for
background information.
According to the MBMS LTE concept, one eNodeB may serve more than one MBSFN
areas. In this implementation, the simulated cell belongs to only one MBSFN areas.
Hence, all radio resources reserved for MBSFN subframes are assigned to one MBSFN
area.
In a LTE network, the MBSFN information is transmitted only during the specially reserved
MBSFN subframes. Almost all MBMS control information is carried by a special control
channel, the MCCH. There is one MCCH per MBSFN area. In this implementation, the
MCCH is always mapped to the first active MBSFN subframe within one MCCH repetition
period (see figure in example "MBSFN Resource Allocation" on page 106).
103
EUTRA/LTE

A configurable "MCCH repetition period" determines how frequent the control information
is transmitted within a defined "MCCH modification period" (see figure below).
Fig. 7-6: Change of MCCH information
The MCCH carries a single message, the MBSFNAreaConfiguration message, which

provides information on the ongoing MBMS sessions and the corresponding radio resources, i.e. the mapping of the PMCHs. The BCCH also carries some of the MBMS control
information by means of the special System Information Blocks SIB Type 13 and SIB
Type 2.
For exact definition of control elements and messages such as MBSFNAreaConfiguration, please refer to 3GPP TS 36.311, v9.6.0. [16].
The following table provides an overview of the steps an UE performs to acquire the
information about the resource configuration of reserved MBSFN subframes, the position
of the MCCH within the MBSFN subframes as well as information necessary to demodulate the MCCH and to retrieve the information about the PMCH scheduling.

Description
User Interface
MCCH > MBSFNAreaConfiguration
The MCCH carries the single message MBSFNAreaConfiguration that determines which of the reserved MBSFN subframes

area. Hence, MBSFN-SubframeConfiguration equates the CommonSF-AllocationPatternList and configuration of the later one is
done with the parameters of SIB#2.
The PMCH-InfoList specifies the individual PMCHs, including
MBMS sessions, used MCS, allocated subframes (sf-AllocEnd)
and the periodicity for providing MCH scheduling information on
MAC layer (mch-SchedulingPeriod).

SF Alloc Start/SF Alloc End PMCH-InfoList Parameters PMCH Structure

Defines the first/last subframe allocated to this (P)MCH within a period identified by field
commonSF-Alloc.
The subframes allocated to (P)MCH corresponding with the nth entry in pmch-InfoList are
the subsequent subframes starting from either the subframe identified by "SF Alloc
End" of the (1)th listed (P)MCH or, for n=1, the first subframe, through the subframe
identified by "SF Alloc End" of the nth listed (P)MCH. Value 0 corresponds with the first
subframe defined by field commonSF-Alloc.
Note: Configuring the MCHs ("SF Alloc Start" values) from bottom to top. Although the
3GPP specification defines the "SF Alloc End" parameter as the only one required, in this
implementation it is mandatory to define the "SF Alloc Start" instead.
The implemented algorithm uses the selected "SF Alloc Start" and calculates automatically the "SF Alloc End" of the corresponding MCH. The algorithm applies the internal
rule, that there will be no gap between two consequent MCHs.
It is therefore recommended to configure the MCHs, i.e. define the "SF Alloc Start" values,
from bottom to the top. This workaround prevents the configuration of overlapping MCHs.

7.4.3 Physical Settings

In the "Physical Settings" section, the channel bandwidth respectively the number of
resource blocks per slot is selected. The other parameters are fixed and read-only.
Channel Bandwidth
Sets the channel bandwidth of the EUTRA/LTE system.
Although the 3GPP specification bases on bandwidth agonistic layer 1 and channel
bandwidth is determined by specifying the desired number of resource blocks, the current
EUTRA standardization focuses on six bandwidths (1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz).
For backward compatibility with previous version of this software, this parameter allows
the flexibility to choose, whether a user defined bandwidth or one of the pre-defined
channel bandwidths is used.
If a pre-defined channel bandwidth is selected; the actual "Number of Resource Blocks
Per Slot" is internally calculated for the selected "Channel Bandwidth" and "Physical
Resource Block Bandwidth".
The sampling rate, occupied bandwidth and FFT size are therefore determined by the
parameter "Number of Resource Blocks Per Slot". If required, the FFT Size can be
adjusted.
See also table 4-1 for an overview of this cross-reference between the parameters.
Remote command:

only and is automatically set according to the selected channel bandwidth and "Physical
If a user defined channel bandwidth is selected, the parameters "Number of Resource

FFT Size
Sets the FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) size.
The FFT size can be freely selected for all bandwidth definitions under the following constrains:
For a specific bandwidth, all FFT sizes are applicable as long as the size is greater
than the number of occupied subcarriers.
By default, the smallest available FFT size is selected.
To decrease the number of unused guard subcarriers and the resulting sampling rate,
for channel bandwidth of 15 MHz a DFT size of 1536 is provided along with the default
FFT size of 2048.

Prefix defines the lengths of the DwPTS, the Guard Period and the UpPTS.
The DwPTS length selected with this parameter determines the maximum number of the
OFDM symbols available for PDSCH in the special subframe.
The UpPTS length selected with this parameter determines the maximum number of the
SC-FDMA symbols available for SRS in the special subframe.
Remote command:

7.4.5 Scheduling Settings

In the "Scheduling" section, you define whether the PDSCH Scheduling is performed
manually or according to the configuration made for the DCIs.
PDSCH Scheduling
Determines whether the configuration and scheduling of the different PDSCH allocations
inside of the DL allocation table is performed manually or according to the configuration
made for the DCIs.
Note: Switching from "Auto/DCI" mode to "Manual" mode enables all parameters in the
DL allocation table for configuration without to change their values. Switching from
"Manual" to "Auto/DCI" mode, however, triggers a reset of the frame prior to reconfiguration of the PDSCH allocations according to the settings made for the PDCCH DCIs, i.e.
the settings made in the DL allocation table are lost.
"Manual"
In this default mode, there is no cross-reference between the settings

made for the PDCCH DCIs and the PDSCHs settings. The PDSCH
allocations have to be configured manually in the DL allocation table.
118
EUTRA/LTE

"Auto/DCI"
Precoding for spatial multiplexing will be performed according to

3GPP TS 36.211 and the selected parameters.
This mode assures a 3GPP compliant EUTRA/LTE signal and the
PDSCH allocations are configured automatically according to the configuration of the PDCCH DCIs.
The generation of a compliant signal requires some limitations in the
configuration flexibility, especially regarding the power setting:
The value of the parameter Reference Signal Power is fixed to 0dB.
The PDSCH Rho A of each allocation belonging to a user is set as

configured with the parameter P_A for the corresponding user in
the "Configure User" dialog.
All four users are activated with enabled Scrambling and Channel
Coding.
Not all combinations of DCI Table, Users and UE_ID/n_RNTI are

7.4.6 MIMO
In the MIMO section, the MIMO configuration and the simulated antennas are defined.
Determines the number of transmit antennas of the simulated EUTRA/LTE system.
Depending on this parameter, the Downlink Reference Signal Structure will be set
accordingly (see also figure 3-9).
Note: One baseband simulates one antenna.
"1 TxAntenna"
Enables single antenna port transmission.
"2 TxAntennas/ Enables a multiple antenna transmission. The transmission mode,

4 TxAntennas" transmit diversity or spatial multiplexing, is determined per allocation
with the parameter Precoding Scheme.
119
EUTRA/LTE

"SISO + BF"
This mode combines a 1 Tx-antenna Single Input Single Output (SISO)

transmission with beamforming (BF).
Beamforming is a method to increase the SNR of the signal received
by the UE. In this mode, beamforming is implemented as a single layer
PDSCH which is mapped to the different antennas with individual phase
offsets. To simplify the configuration and in order to fulfill the requirements as specified in 3GPP TS 36.101, Annex A the same precoding
vector as in a MIMO case can be used.
Note: While generating signal in this mode, the antennas simulated by
path A and Path B are not MIMO antennas. The signal at the output of
both paths is the same SISO signal with the same cell-specific reference signals.
To enable the instrument to generate a transmission using antenna
port 5 signal (transmission corresponding to the UE-specific reference
signal) as defined in the 3GPP specification, set the parameter Precoding Scheme to "Beamforming (UE-spec.RS)".
In this case, the generated signal carries a combination of common
signal part (PBCH, PDCCH, cell-specific RS,...), which is identical on
all antennas, and UE-specific PDSCH, which is different on the antennas due to the applied precoding.
Note that, although the generation of a beamformed signal requires
more than one antenna, for the UE it appears as a SISO signal.

120
EUTRA/LTE

Note: For two path instruments, setting the parameter "Simulated Antenna Path B" to
any values but "None", enables LTE signal simulation for path B and will disable all other
digital standards and digital modulation modes in this path.
Enabling path B to simulate an antenna automatically couples path A and path B, i.e.
path B is controlled via path A. The signal generated by path B has identical parameters
with the settings made for path A and the downlink reference signal's parameters "First
Reference Signal Position", "Subcarrier Offset" and "Use Second Reference Signal" are
set accordingly.
The configuration of the Downlink Reference Signal Structure is set accordingly (see also

7.4.7 Cell Specific Settings

In the "Cell Specific Settings" section, the physical layer cell identity settings and the DL
power control settings are configured.
Cell ID
Sets the cell identity.
There are 504 unique physical layer cell identities (Cell ID), grouped into 168 unique
physical cell identity groups that contain three unique identities each. The Cell ID is calculated as following:
Cell ID = 3*Physical Cell ID Group + Physical Layer ID
There is a cross-reference between the values of this three parameters and changing of
one of them results in adjustment in the values of the others.
The Cell ID determinates:
the downlink reference signal pseudo-random sequence,
the frequency shifts of the reference signal,
the S-SYNC sequence,
the cyclic shifts for PCFICH, PHICH and PDCCH mapping and
the pseudo-random sequence used for scrambling.

VRB Gap
Enables the utilization of Virtual Resource Blocks (VBR) of distributed type and determines whether the first or the second gap is applied, i.e. determines the distribution and
the mapping of the VRB pairs to the Physical Resource Blocks (PRB) pairs.
The VRB-to-PRB mapping and the calculation of the VRB gap values are performed
according to 3GPP TS 36.211. The specification defines two types of VRBs, a localized
distribution with a direct mapping and distributed VRBs for better frequency diversity. The
distribution of the VRBs is performed in such a way, that consecutive VRBs are not mapped to frequency-consecutive PRBs, i.e. the VRBs are spread over the frequencies. Each
single VRB pair is split into two parts and a frequency gap between these two VRB parts
is introduced, i.e. a frequency hopping on a slot basis is applied. For wider channel
bandwidths (more than 50 RBs), a second VRB gap with smaller size may be applied.
Tip: Use the "DL Time Plan" to visualize the PDSCH mapping.
The information whether localizated or distributed VBRs are applied is carried by the
PDCCH. The DCI Formats 1A/1B/1D provide the special 1-bit flag "Localized/Distributed
VBR Assignment" for this purpose. The selection whether the first or the second gap is
applied, is determined by the additional bit "Gap Value".
Note: In case a Auto DCI mode is used, the "VRB Gap" value is read-only and is set
according to the configuration of the corresponding DCI format.

No. Sym.
Sets the size of the selected allocation in OFDM symbols.
For FDD mode and content type PDSCH, this value is set automatically in a way that the
allocation always fills the complete subframe with consideration of the symbol offset.
Example:
For Cyclic Prefix with normal length (14 OFDMA Symbols) and Symbol Offset = 2 the
resulting No. Of Symbols is 12.
In case two codewords are configured, the size of the allocation with the second codeword is determinate by the size of the first one.
While configuring a special subframe for TDD mode, the maximum size of the PDSCH
allocation is determined by the selected TDD Frame Structure Settings and depends on
the selected Cyclic Prefix.
The table below shows the cross-reference between the special subframe configuration
and the maximum number of OFDM symbols available for PUSCH (DwPTS) in a special
subframe for normal and extended CP respectively.

Sets the start OFDM symbol of the selected allocation.
Note: If the "Auto Offset Calculation" mode is activated, this value is read only.
For extended cyclic prefix, the maximum symbol offset is 13.
Note: According to 3GPP TS 36.211, up to first three OFDM symbols of a subframe are
reserved for control information (PDCCH). Therefore, for PDSCH allocations the maximum value is 3, regardless of the cyclic prefix length.
In case two codewords are configured, the start OFDM symbol of the allocation with the
second codeword is determinate by the selected start OFDM symbol of the first one.
Remote command:
SYMoffset on page 403
Auto
Sets whether automatic offset calculation is used or not.
Note: If the "Auto Offset Calculation" mode is activated, the resource block offset and
the start symbol offset are set automatically and cannot be changed.
By setting new allocations or changing the number of RBs of an existing allocation, the
Auto mode tries to distribute the allocations with activated Auto mode in an optimal manner to the available resource blocks by adjusting the parameters "Offset RB". The resulting "No. of Bits" of a certain allocation can vary, due to overlapping control channels.
If it is not possible to distribute the changed configuration to the available resources
blocks, a conflict is displayed.
Note: "Auto Offset Calculation" mode is only available for PDSCH. For PDCCH this
parameter is always off.
In case two codewords are configured, the state of the "Auto Offset Calculation" mode
of the second codeword is set to the state of the first one.

7.6 Enhanced PBCH, PDSCH and PMCH Settings

The "Enhanced Settings" dialog allows you to define and configure the precoding and
the channel coding settings for the DL channels PBCH and PDSCH. The settings are
configurable on a subframe basis.
The parameters available for configuration in section "Precoding" depend on the global
MIMO configuration, the content of the allocation and the selected codeword. Because
the same precoding settings are used for both codewords, the "Precoding" section is not
displayed in the "Enhanced Settings" dialog of the second codeword.
The values of parameters "Scrambling State", "UE ID" and "Channel Coding State" are
read-only for all allocations, where a User 1..4 is selected as "Data Source". These
parameters are set in the User Configuration Settings dialog for the corresponding user.
For all allocations belonging to the same user, the "Enhanced Settings" dialog is
accessed from any allocation related to this user.

7.6.4 Channel Coding Settings

State Channel Coding (DL)
Enables/disables channel coding for the selected allocation and code word.
If a User "1..4" is selected for the Data Source in the allocation table for the corresponding
allocation, the "Channel Coding State" is read only and the value is displayed as set in
the User Configuration Settings dialog for the corresponding user.
A PBCH can be generated in one of the following modes:
Without channel coding, i.e. this parameter is disabled.
Dummy data or user-defined data list are used.
Channel coding with arbitrary transport block content
Channel coding is activated and parameter MIB (including SFN) is disabled.
Channel coding with real data (MIB) including SFN
Channel coding and MIB are activated.
For the PBCH allocation with activated channel coding, one block of data (Transport
Block Size of 24) is coded jointly and then spread over four frames. Hence, the ARB
sequence length has to be set accordingly to be a multiple of four.

Enhanced PCFICH, PHICH and PDCCH Channel Configuration
Determines the time span after which the SFN (System Frame Number) restarts.
By default, the SFN restart period is equal to the ARB sequence length. Selecting a SFN
restart period of "1024 Frames", enables the instrument to calculate the PBCH including
SFN independently from the other channels. With this setting, the SFN restarts after 1024
frames and the generation process is fully 3GPP compliant, but the calculation may take
very long time.
Tip: Use the "3GPP (1024 Frames)" mode only if 3GPP compliant SFN period is required!
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:DL:PBCH:SRPeriod on page 423
Transport Block Size/Payload (DL)
Defines the size of the transport block/payload in bits.
Since only one transport block is generated and spread over all allocations, for allocations with "Data Source" set to User 1..4, the channel coding parameters "Transport
Block Size", "Redundancy Version Index" and "IR Soft Buffer Size" are related to all
allocations that belong to the same user in the corresponding subframe.
In case a spatial multiplexing with two code words is configured, individual transport
blocks for the two code blocks are generated.
For PBCH allocations with enabled parameter MIB (including SFN), the transport
block size is fixed to 24.
Set the transport block size to 24 if a generation compliant to the 3GPP specifications
is required.

Number of PHICH Groups
Displays the number of available PHICH groups, depending on the value of the parameter
PHICH N_g.
This parameter is enabled for configuration only if the parameter "PHICH N_g" is set to
"Custom".
For normal CP, one PHICH group consists of 8 ACK/NACK messages from several
users.
For extended CP, 4 ACK/NACK messages from several users are carried by on
PHICH group.
Each PHICH group uses 3 resource element groups (REGs); hence the total number of
REGs used for PHICH is 3 times the number of PHICH groups.
The number of the available OFDM symbols for the allocation of this total number of REGs
depends on the selection made for the parameter PHICH Duration (normal or extended).

Search Space DCI Table

Defines the search space for the selected DCI, i.e determines the valid CCE indexes.
The search space determines the set of CCEs a UE monitors. The UE can decode only
the control information on a PDCCH that is transmitted over CCEs within the search
space this UE monitors.
Note: The 3GPP specification defines two kinds of search spaces, the common and the
UE-specific search space.
Avoid the use of the "Auto" and "Off" values; this values are provided for backwards
compatibility reasons only.
"Off"
No search space is determined, i.e. all CCEs have to be monitored.
"Auto"
Provided for backward compatibility only.

An internal mapping to the common and UE-specific search space is
applied depending on the selected user: for "User 1..4", "Auto" corresponds to "UE-spec"; in all other cases, "Auto" corresponds to "Common".
"Common"
The DCI is mapped to the common search space.

A common search space is used when all or a group of UEs are
addressed. The combination User 1 and common search space is
enabled in PCell only.
"UE-spec"
Non-common DCIs are mapped to the UE-specific search space.

Each UE has multiple UE-specific search space, determined as a function of the UE_ID and the subframe. A UE-specific search space applies
for the User set to "User 1..4".

DCI Format 2/2A/2B

The DCI Format 2 is used for scheduling PDSCH when spatial multiplexing is configured.
The DCI Format 2A is also used for the scheduling in a spatial multiplexing configuration,
but without PMI feedback. The DCI Format 2B is enabled for 2-, 4-Tx-Antennas.
Since MIMO operation requires two codewords, the modulation and coding scheme, new
data indicator and the redundancy version are signaled separately for each of the codewords. The spatial multiplexing also requires a transmission of precoding information.
The transport block to codeword mapping is performed according to the 3GPP specification, i.e. transport block 1 (TB1) is mapped to codeword 1 (CW1) and TB2 to CW2
respectively. The "Transport Block to Codeword Swap Flag "determines the mapping in
case both transport blocks are enabled. If this swap flag is enabled, the TB1 is mapped
to CW2 and vice versa.

User Configuration Settings
7.8 User Configuration Settings

The "Configure User" settings allow you to define and configure up to four scheduled user
equipments that can be freely distributed over the whole frame by setting the data source
of a certain allocation to "User 1 .. 4".
Using this feature ensures that a common data source is used for allocations of one user
equipment also in case that these allocations are non-adjacent.
Following settings are identical for all allocations belonging to the same user in one subframe:
Modulation - changing the modulation of one of the allocations belonging to a user

changes the modulation of all other allocations of the same user in the subframe.
Different modulations may be selected for the two code words of an allocation.
Complete Precoding Settings - changing the precoding settings of one of the allocations belonging to a user changes the precoding settings of all other allocations of
the same user in the subframe.
Scrambling Settings (Scrambling State and UE ID/n_RNTI) and Channel Coding

State - changing the scrambling settings and the channel coding state for one user
changes the scrambling settings and the channel coding state of all allocations of the
same user in the frame. The Scrambling State, UE ID/n_RNTI and Channel Coding
State are also displayed in the "Enhanced Settings" dialog of each allocation.

This dialogs comprise the settings necessary to configure the mapping of the logical
antenna ports to the physical Tx antennas. The number of physical antennas is set with
the parameter "General DL Settings > Global MIMO Configuration".
The dialog consists of two parts, a mapping table and a selection about the way the
antenna mapping is performed.
Mapping Methods
The antenna mapping can be performed according to one of the following three methods:
"Codebook"
The used precoding weights are according to the 3GPP TS 36.211, table 6.3.4.2.3-1
resp. 6.3.4.2.3-2. The selected element is defined by the selected codebook index
and the number of layers.
"Random codebook"
The precoding weights are selected randomly from the tables defined for the codebook method.
"Fixed weight"
A fixed precoding weight can be defined which will be used for all allocations of the
according User throughout the frame.
Depending on the selected mapping method, the mapping table is invisible ("Random
codebook"), read-only ("Codebook") or full configurable ("Fixed weight").

Group Hopping
Enables/disables group hopping for the uplink reference signals demodulation reference
signal (DMRS) and sounding reference signal (SRS).
17 different hopping patterns and 30 different sequence shift patterns are used for group
hopping.
PUSCH and PUCCH use the same group hopping pattern that is calculated if the "Group
Hopping" is enabled. The group hopping pattern is generated by a pseudo-random
sequence generator.
The sequence shift pattern of PUCCH is derived from the physical layer cell ID set as a
combination of the parameters Physical Cell ID Group and Physical Layer ID.
The PUSCH sequence shift pattern is determinate by the parameter Delta Sequence Shift
for PUSCH.

7.13.1 General Scheduling Configuration

This section provides an access to the user equipment settings as well as settings concerning the UL scheduling, like configuring the subframes and adjusting the PUCCH/
PUSCH scheduling.

Number Of Configurable Uplink Subframes
Sets the number of configurable subframes in the up to four configurable frames, i.e
determines the scheduling cycle per UE.
All uplink subframes are filled periodically with the configured subframes with the exception of the Sounding Reference Signal. SRS is set individually for each UE in the User
Equipment Configuration dialog.
The maximum number of configurable subframes depends on the selected Duplexing
mode (TDD or FDD), TDD Frame Structure Settings and whether a realtime feedback is
enabled or not.
For more detailed information about the maximum number of configurable subframes and
for description of the dependencies between the parameters, see chapter 5.2.3, "Four
Configurable Frames in Uplink and Downlink Direction", on page 55.
For "Rel 8/9" UEs, the "No Of Configurable Uplink Subframes" is the same for PUCCH
and PUSCH.
In instruments equipped with R&S SMx/AMU-K85, for the LTE Rel 10 UEs, the scheduling
cycles are additionally independent per PUSCH and PUCCH, i.e. the number of configurable subframes can be defined individually per PUCCH and per PUSCH. This enables
the configuration of PUCCH and PUSCH with different repetition patterns.
Example: Independent cycles for PUSCH and PUCCH of the same LTE Rel. 10 UE
As described in the test case 8.2.4, TS 36.141 [6], the PUCCH of the UE has to be
transmitted once a frame and the PUSCH - once each eight subframes.

7.14.3 Realtime Feedback Configuration Settings

The EUTRA/LTE uplink realtime feedback functionality requires the additional option
R&S SMx/AMU-K69 Closed Loop BS Tests. This option extends the EUTRA/LTE option
R&S SMx/AMU-K55 with the possibility to perform closed loop performance tests with
feedback as defined in 3GPP TS 36.141, chapter 8.
203
EUTRA/LTE

The feedback functionality can be enabled once per baseband block. The user interface
and the parameters available for configuration depend on the selected Realtime Feedback Mode. For detailed description of the Realtime Feedback functionality, see chapter 6, "Realtime Feedback for Closed Loop BS Tests", on page 63.
Realtime Feedback Mode

Enables realtime feedback and determines the mode (binary or serial).
"Off"
Realtime feedback is disabled.
"Binary ACK/
NACK"
The ACK/NACK feedback is implemented as low/high voltage level on

the feedback line connector.
Use the parameter ACK Definition to determine whether a high or a low
voltage level represents an ACK.
Timing Adjustments Feedback is not supported in this mode.
"Serial"
ACK/NACK Feedback and Timing Adjustments Feedback are implemented by means of a serial protocol (see chapter 6.2.2, "Serial
Mode", on page 65).
"Serial 3x8"
ACK/NACK Feedback and Timing Adjustments Feedback are implemented by means of a serial commands, consisting of three serial
packets (see chapter 6.2.3, "Serial 3x8 Mode", on page 65).
Remote command:

Redundancy Version Sequence
Determines the sequence of redundancy versions for the individual HARQ processes.
204
EUTRA/LTE

Unless otherwise requested by serial feedback commands, the first value in the sequence
of redundancy versions is used each time an ACK is received or for the very first transmission of a process.
The sequence of redundancy versions is read out cyclically, i.e. whenever a NACK is
received and a retransmission is requested, the next redundancy version in the sequence
is used.
The first value in the sequence is used again even in case a NACK is received, if the
Max. Number of Transmissions in a process was reached.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:RTFB:RVSequence on page 503
Max. Number of Transmissions
After this maximum number of transmissions (incl. first transmission), the first redundancy
version of the redundancy version sequence is used even in case of NACK.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:RTFB:MAXTrans on page 503
Assume ACK until first received ACK command
("Serial/Serial 3x8" mode only)
If this parameter is enabled, the signal generator will not use any external HARQ feedback
from the device under test for its HARQ processes until an ACK command is received
the first time. Until that, the generator will behave as if ACK was received for all transmissions - no matter if actually a NACK was received or if no HARQ feedback was
received at all. It therefore will not schedule any retransmissions until ACK is received
the first time. This functionality can be useful for synchronization purposes (see chapter 6.4, "Avoiding Synchronization Problems", on page 72).
Note: This functionality applies independently for every HARQ process, i.e. if this parameter is enabled, an ACK has to be received in every HARQ process first, before the
generator stops ignoring any NACKs.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:RTFB:AACK on page 500
Initial Timing Advance
The initial timing advance of the uplink signal (at the output of the instrument's baseband
unit) in units of 16 TS.
An initial timing advance greater than zero means that the beginning of the very first
subframe of the uplink signal is omitted.
For binary feedback, the timing advance of the uplink signal stays constant (and equal
to the initial timing advance) throughout the whole signal output.
The additional timing offset NTA offset for TDD, as defined in TS 36.211, is set by the
parameter Signal Advance N_TA_offset in the "Trigger/Marker" dialog.

EUTRA/LTE

Block Error Insertion

Enables/disables the statistical insertion of block errors into PUSCH packets.
The block error insertion can be enabled for a single HARQ process or for all processes.
In the single HARQ process case, the used process is always the one that corresponds
to the first activated PUSCH.
If the block error insertion functionality is used, no further impairments should be activated
(like "Fading" or "AWGN"), as this would cause the measured block error rate to deviate
from the configured block error rate.
If block error insertion is enabled, the generator ignores any externally received HARQ
ACK/NACK feedback. Instead, it behaves as if ACK was received for a HARQ process
if no block error was generated for the previous transmission of that process and it
behaves as if NACK was received for a HARQ process if a block error was generated for
the previous transmission of that process.
If a block error is generated in a new transmission, block errors will also be generated in
all retransmissions, until the maximum number of transmissions is reached. The reason
for this is that otherwise the measured block error rate could deviate from the configured
one if for example a non-erroneous retransmission can not be decoded by the device
under test if the first transmission (which was erroneous) was impaired too much.
If the block error insertion functionality is used together with the Assume ACK until first
received ACK command functionality, no block errors will be inserted before the first
received ACK, in order to speed up the synchronization process in this case. This is the
only situation where an external HARQ feedback is needed if block error insertion is
activated.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:RTFB:BEINsertion on page 501
Block Error Rate
Block error rate for the statistical insertion of block errors.
The block error rate is defined as the ratio from the number of NACKs to the sum of the
number of NACKs plus the number of ACKs.
As no external HARQ feedback is taken into account if Block Error Insertion is used, it is
expected that the device under test does not send false ACK (ACK after erroneous
packet) or false NACK (NACK after non-erroneous packet). Also it is expected that no
further impairments like fading or AWGN are applied to the generated uplink signal.

Configuration Index I_SRS

Sets the UE specific parameter SRS configuration index ISRS. Depending on the selected
"Duplexing Mode", this parameter determines the parameters SRS Periodicity T SRS and
SRS Subframe Offset T_offset as defined in the 3GPP TS 36.213, Table 8.2-1 (FDD) and
8.2-2 (TDD) respectively.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:UE<st>:REFSig:SRS:ISRS on page 497
Periodicity T_SRS
Displays the UE specific parameter SRS periodicity TSRS, i.e. displays the interval of milliseconds after which the SRS is transmitted. The displayed value depends on the
selected SRS Configuration Index I_SRS and "Duplexing Mode" as defined in the
3GPP TS 36.213, Table 8.2-1 (FDD) and 8.2-2 (TDD) respectively.
Adjust the SRS configuration index to enable more frequent SRS transmission like each
2 ms or an infrequently SRS transmission like each 320 ms for instance.
For TDD duplexing mode, a T_SRS of 2 ms means that SRS is transmitted two times in
5 ms.
213
EUTRA/LTE

Example:
"Configuration Index" = 0, i.e. "Periodicity T_SRS" = 2 ms and "Subframe Offset T_offset
"=0
"SRS State" = On
"Duplexing" = FDD
The default values of all other SRS parameters are left unchanged.
The SRS is transmitted every 2 ms and occupies the entire channel bandwidth, i.e. frequency hopping is not enabled.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:UE<st>:REFSig:SRS:TSRS on page 498
Subframe Offset T_offset
Displays the UE specific parameter SRS subframe offset Toffset, depending on the
selected SRS Configuration Index I_SRS and "Duplexing Mode" as defined in the
3GPP TS 36.213, Table 8.2-1 (FDD) and 8.2-2 (TDD) respectively.
A SRS subframe offset shifts the SRS pattern, i.e. while SRS periodicity T_SRS remains
constant, the SRS transmission is delayed with period of time equal to the SRS subframe
offset T_offset.
214
EUTRA/LTE

Example:
"Configuration Index" = 1, i.e. "Periodicity T_SRS" = 2 ms and "Subframe Offset T_offset" = 1
"SRS State" = On
"Duplexing" = FDD
The SRS is transmitted every 2 ms and occupies the entire channel bandwidth, i.e. frequency hopping is not enabled. Compared to the SRS transmission with Toffset = 0, the
SRS transmission is delayed with 1 ms.
For TDD duplexing mode, a T_offset of 0 or 5 means that SRS is transmitted in the second
last symbol of the special subframe (in the UpPTS part). For this cases, adjust the
parameter Configuration of Special Subframes so that an UpPTS field length of two symbols is assured.
For TDD duplexing mode with T_SRS value of 2 ms, two T_offset values are displayed,
corresponding to the two SRS transmissions per 5 ms. For example, the values 0,1 mean
that two SRS transmissions occur, both in the special subframe. One of them is in the
second last symbol and the other one, in the last symbol of the subframe.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:UL:UE<st>:REFSig:SRS:TOFFset? on page 498
SRS Bandwidth B_SRS
Sets the UE specific parameter SRS Bandwidth BSRS, as defined in the 3GPP TS 36.211,
chapter 5.5.3.2.
The SRS can span the entire frequency bandwidth or can employ frequency hopping
where several narrowband SRSs cover the same total bandwidth.
215
EUTRA/LTE

There are up to four SRS bandwidths defined in the standard. The most narrow SRS
bandwidth (B_SRS = 3) spans four resource blocks and is available for all channel bandwidths; the other three values of the parameter B_SRS define more wideband SRS
bandwidths, available depending on the channel bandwidth.
The SRS transmission bandwidth is determined additionally by the "SRS Bandwidth

Configuration CSRS".
216
EUTRA/LTE

Example:
"SRS State" = On
"Duplexing" = FDD
For B_SRS = 0 the SC-FDMA time plan shows a wideband SRS without frequency hopping.
Changing the SRS bandwidth to "B_SRS" = 3 results in the most narrowband SRS transmission with SRS bandwidth of 4 RBs and enabled frequency hopping.

EUTRA/LTE

State (Time Domain Windowing)

Activates/deactivates the time domain windowing.
Time domain windowing is a method to influence the spectral characteristics (i.e. it
removes the spikes caused by the OFDM) of the signal, which is not stipulated by the
standard.
However, it does not replace oversampling and subsequent signal filtering.
Remote command:

Optimization
Selects one of the provided EUTRA/LTE filters.
Each filter is designed for different application field and optimized for a particular performance. Depending on the filter implementation, these filters require different calculation time. The applied upsampling factor also influences the size of the calculated output
waveform file. An output waveform is calculated with the "Generate Waveform File" function or by generating of an LTE waveform with R&S WinIQSIM2.

Cut Off Frequency Shift
(available for filter parameter Cosine and EUTRA/LTE with EVM Optimization only)
The cut off frequency is a filter characteristic that defines the frequency at the 3 dB down
point. The "Cut Off Frequency Shift" affects this frequency in the way that the filter flanks
are "moved" and the transition band increases by "Cut Off Frequency Shift"*"Sample
Rate".
A "Cut Off Frequency Shift" = -1 results in a very narrow-band filter
Increasing the value up to 1 makes the filter more broad-band
By "Cut Off Frequency Shift" = 0, the -3 dB point is at the frequency determined by
the half of the selected "Sample Rate".
Tip: Use this parameter to adjust the cut off frequency and reach spectrum mask requirements.

7.20.2 Timing Configuration

Signal Advance N_TA_offset
Sets the parameter NTA offset as defined in the 3GPP TS 36.211.
The parameter is available in "Uplink" directionand enabled "TDD" mode.
The 3GPP TS 36.211 defines the signal advance parameter depending on the duplexing
mode and specifies the following values:
for FDD mode: NTA offset = 0
for TDD mode: NTA offset = 624.
In the R&S Signal Generator, however, the signal advance for the TDD mode can also
be set to 0.
According to the 3GPP specification, the value of 624 means, that that the uplink signal
is shifted against the downlink one. This instrument does not generate the uplink and
downlink signal simultaneously and uses the marker signals to represent the downlink
timing, i.e. setting the NTA offset to 624 is used like a "negative trigger delay" and shifts the
uplink signal against the trigger and the markers.
To achieve the shifting, the R&S Signal Generator processes the signal differently,
depending whether the "Realtime Feedback" mode is activated or not (see figure 7-13).
247
EUTRA/LTE

Fig. 7-13: Signal Processing
In Realtime Feedback mode, the shifting is achieved by omitting the beginning of the
signal, where the omitted part is exactly 624xTs long.
When the Realtime Feedback mode is disabled and the instrument is working in the
normal ARB mode, the samples of the ARB sequence are shifted with "wrap around",
i.e. the omitted samples are added to the end of the ARB sequence. The total length
of the sequence remains unchanged and is equal to sequence length in case of NTA
offset = 0.
Note: The time shift due to the N_TA_offset is independent from the time shifts caused
by the realtime feedback parameter Initial Timing Advance or by timing advance/adjustment commands. According to 3GPP TS 36.211, the resulting time shift is the sum of the
selected time shifts.

EUTRA/LTE

"Frame Active
Part"
The marker signal is high whenever a burst is active and low during
inactive signal parts (such as the gaps between bursts in uplink mode
or the uplink subframe in downlink TDD mode).
This marker can be used to decrease the carrier leakage during inactive
signal parts by feeding it into the pulse modulator.
"Subframe"
A marker signal is generated at the start of each subframe.
"User Period"
A marker signal is generated at the beginning of every user-defined

period. The period is defined in "Period."

Introduction to Conformance Testing
8 Test Case Wizard

The "Test Case Wizard" is supported by R&S SMU, R&S SMATE, R&S SMJ and R&S
SMBV.
The "Test Case Wizard" supports tests on base stations in conformance with the 3GPP
specification for Base Station conformance testing. It offers a selection of predefined
settings according to Test Cases in TS 36.141. For an overview of the test cases covered
by the test case wizard, refer to chapter 8.3, "Supported Test Cases", on page 255.
With the "Test Case Wizard", it is possible to create highly complex test scenarios with
just a few keystrokes.
The "Test Case Wizard" has effect on frequency and level settings, link direction, filter,
trigger, baseband clock source, marker settings and base station or user equipment configuration. Besides the EUTRA/LTE required settings also interfering signals (AWGN, CW
interferer, co-located modulation signals) or fading profiles are set.
The test setups and the hardcopies in this description assume a fully equipped R&S SMU.
8.1 Introduction to Conformance Testing

The main purpose of the conformance testing is to ensure that the base station (BS) and
the user equipment (UE) are fulfilling a defined level of minimum performance.
The 3GPP organization defines three groups of conformance testing for the UE: Radio
Frequency (RF), Radio Resource Management (RRM) and Signaling. There is only one
group conformance testing for the BS, the RF conformance tests.
This chapter is intended to give an overview of the 3GPP test specifications dealing with
the conformance tests. Only a brief description is provided.
8.1.1 UE Conformance Testing

8.1.3 Repeater Conformance Testing

The repeater conformance tests are based on the core specification TS 36.106 and
defined in the TS 36.143 "FDD repeater conformance testing".
8.2 Basic Configuration

The basic equipment layout for preforming test with the aid of "Test Case Wizard" is the
same as for the EUTRA/LTE signal generation. It includes the options:
Baseband Main Module (R&S SMU/SMJ/SMATE-B13)
Baseband Generator (R&S SMx-B10)
Digital Standard EUTRA/LTE (R&S SMx-K55)
Frequency option (R&S SMx-B10x: RF 100kHz - x GHz)
However, some of the tests require further options. The additionally required hardware
and/or software options are listed as a prerequisite in the description of the corresponding
test case.
Test cases where the signal generator hardware and/or software equipment is not sufficient are shown in grey color but are not selectable.
RF power and frequency limitations of the hardware equipment restrict the setting ranges.
8.3 Supported Test Cases

The BS RF conformance tests defined in the TS 36.141 are divided into three main parts,
the RF transmitter characteristics, the RF receiver characteristics and the RF performance requirements.
The "Test Case Wizard" supports the test cases listed in the tables below.

8.4 Standard Test Setups

The tests can be performed using the standard test setup according to TS 36.141. Test
setups beside the three standard test setups described below are specified at the individual description of the corresponding test case.
8.4.1 Standard Test Setup - One Path

In case of two-path instruments signal routing to path A is assumed for the graph below.
RF port A outputs the wanted signal (with or without fading and/or interference) and is
connected to the Rx port of the base station. The signal generator will start signal generation at the first eNB frame trigger sent to input TRIGGER 1.
257
EUTRA/LTE
Test Case Wizard

Fig. 8-1: One Path Standard Test Setup (Example of R&S SMU simulating the test case 7.3 "Dynamic
Range")
For two-path instruments it is also possible to route baseband signal A to RF output B

and connect RF output B to the Rx port of the base station.
8.4.2 Standard Test Setup - Two Paths

For two-paths measurements, the test cases always require option Second RF path (R&S
SMx-B20x), a second option Baseband Main Module (R&S SMx-B13) and at least one
option to generate the interfering signal in addition to the basic configuration. The signal
routing is fixed.
The signal generator outputs the reference measurement channel signal, i.e. the wanted
signal at output RF A and the interfering signal(s) at output RF B. After combining the two
(three) signals the sum signal is fed into the base station Rx port. The signal generator
will start signal generation at the first eNB frame trigger sent to input TRIGGER 1.

Intermodulation")
258
EUTRA/LTE
Test Case Wizard

1 = Baseband A generates the wanted signal

2 = Baseband B generates the EUTRA/LTE interfering signal
3 = AWGN A generates the CW interfering signal
8.4.3 Test Setup - Diversity Measurements

For diversity measurements, the test cases always require at least option Second RF
path (R&S SMx-B20x) and a second option Baseband Main Module (R&S SMx-B13) in
addition to the basic configuration. The signal routing is fixed.
RF output A and RF output B transmit the corrupted reference measurement channel
signal (wanted signal) and are connected to the Rx ports of the base station for diversity
reception. The signal generator will start signal generation at the first eNB frame trigger
sent to input "Trigger 1".
Fig. 8-3: Test Setup for Diversity Measurements (Example of R&S SMU simulating test case 8.2.1
"PUSCH in Multipath Fading Propagation Conditions")
As signal routing takes place at the output of the baseband block, the interference settings
of the two paths are identical for diversity measurements.
8.4.4 Test Setup - Four Rx Antennas

Test setup with four Rx antennas require a second signal generator, equipped with tho
paths (e.g. two R&S SMU). The required options of both signal generators are identical.
The signal routing is fixed.
RF output A and RF output B transmit the corrupted reference measurement channel
signal (wanted signal) and are connected to the Rx ports of the base station for diversity
reception. The signal generator will start signal generation at the first eNB frame trigger
sent to input "Trigger 1".

of the two paths are identical for diversity measurements.
8.5 General Considerations

This section lists some common topics for all BS RF conformance tests. Considerations,
that are specific to one conformance test part, are described at the corresponding section.
Test Frequencies
EUTRA/LTE is designed to operate in the operating bands defined in table 8-4. The table
shows start and stop frequencies of both uplink and downlink frequency bands according
to 3GPP TS 36.141.

The measurements that have to be performed according to 3GPP TS 36.141 in order to

verify proper operation of systems apply to appropriate frequencies in the bottom, middle
and top of the operating frequency band of the base station (BS). These frequencies are
denoted as RF channels B (bottom), M (middle) and T (top).
Reference Frequency
When building up the measurement setups according to TS 36.141 it might be useful that
all the instruments share a common reference clock. In order to feed in the clock of an
261
EUTRA/LTE
Test Case Wizard

external clock the RF module configuration should be switched to external reference

frequency.
In the external reference mode an external signal with selectable frequency and defined
level must be input at the REF IN connector . This signal is output at the REF OUT
connector. The reference frequency setting is effective for both paths. For very good
reference sources of high spectral purity a wideband setting is provided.
Baseband Clock
The clock source is automatically switched to internal when the test case settings are
activated.
Improvement of signal quality
Improvement of signal quality is possible via several settings:
In the "I/Q Settings" menu the internal baseband gain can be set to improved ACLR
performance (3 dB or 6 dB)
In the "Automatic Level Control Settings" menu the RF output level can be recalibrated with "Search Once" in "Sample&Hold" mode. This is recommended if in CW mode
the signal/intermodulation ratio is to be improved for multi-transmitter measurements.
With setting "Auto", the level control is automatically adapted to the operating conditions, it may cause increased intermodulation, however.
In the "User Correction" menu a list of correction values can be created and subsequently activated. Thus, the frequency response of the test setup can be taken into
account .
In order to compensate cable loss and additionally inserted attenuators, the RF level
can directly be adjusted in the "Level" input field.

User Interface
Additional settings in the impairments section of the AWGN block
Virtual Resource Block (VRB) Offset

In the R&S Signal Generator the RBs are allocated by default at the left edge of the
spectrum. However, some test cases do not require allocation of the entire bandwidth or
RB allocation at a specific part of the bandwidth. Adjust the additional parameter "Offset
VRB" to define the position of the RBs.
Example: Offset VRB
"Channel Bandwidth" = 10 MHz, i.e. 50 RBs
"Allocated Resource Blocks" = 25
"Offset VRB" = 10
The RBs are offset by 10 RBs and allocated RBs start at position 11.
Use also the SC-FDMA Timeplan to visualize the RB allocation for the wanted signal
(path A) and the interfering signal (path B).
8.6 User Interface

To access the "Test Case Wizard" dialog, select "Baseband Block > EUTRA/LTE >
Test Case Wizard".
There is only one "Test Case Wizard" in the instrument, i.e. the same dialog can be
accessed via each of the baseband blocks.

8.6.3 Apply
Button "Apply Settings" triggers a selective preset of the signal generator prior to presetting the setting according to the selected test case. Further modification of the generator settings is still possible. Signal generation starts with the first trigger event.
Apply Settings
Activates the current settings of the test case wizard.
Note: The settings of the selected test case becomes active only after selecting "Apply
Settings".
Initialization of the signal generator with the test case settings is performed by a partial
selective reset that includes only the baseband, fading and AWGN module and the RF
frequency and RF level settings. Other settings of the signal generator are not altered.
Before triggering the signal generator the user still can change these other settings. This
is particularly useful when compensating for cable loss and additionally inserted attenuators by adjusting the RF power level offset is required.
Signal generation is started at the first trigger received by the generator. The RF output
is not activated /deactivated by the test case wizard. Activate the "RF > State > On" at
the beginning of the measurement.
Note: For safety reasons the RF is not active unless the button "RF ON" has been
selected.
Note: The settings in the dialogs "EUTRA/LTE > Trigger/Marker/Clock", in the "Global
Trigger/Clock Settings" and in the "User Marker / AUX I/O Settings" are not affected by
the selective preset, if the parameter "Trigger/Marker Configuration" is set to

8.7 Transmitter Characteristics (TS 36.141, Chapter 6)

The transmitter characteristics comprises the maximum output power, output power
dynamics, transmitted signal quality, unwanted emissions and transmitter intermodulations. The "Test Case Wizard" supports the generation of signals in accordance with the
transmitter intermodulations test case. A brief description about the unwanted emission
tests is also provided (see chapter 8.7.2, "Introduction to the Unwanted Emissions
Tests", on page 270).
8.7.1 Prior Considerations

Test Models
For the transmitter characteristic tests EUTRA test models (E-TM) are specified. For an
overview of the test models, see "EUTRA Test Models (E-TM) Downlink" on page 95.
269
EUTRA/LTE
Test Case Wizard

Channels
According to the TS 36.141, the channels to test are located in the bottom (B), middle
(M) and the top (T) of the supported frequency range of the base station. See table 8-4
for an overview of the supported frequency operating bands.
Filter Settings
The 3GPP EUTRA/LTE specifications do not define a standardized transmit filter neither
for the UE nor for the base station. Therefore, when a test case is activated, a filter type
EUTRA/LTE with "Best ACP Optimization" is automatically selected.
Test Setup
Transmitter tests require a separate measuring equipment, e.g. the Vector Signal Analyzer R&S FSV.
8.7.2 Introduction to the Unwanted Emissions Tests

The unwanted emissions from the transmitter are divided into two main groups, the outof-band (OOB) emissions and the spurious emissions. The out-of-band emissions are
emissions on frequencies close to the frequency of the wanted signal. Spurious emissions
are emissions caused by unwanted transmitter effects, like harmonics, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products.
ACLR
The Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) is defined as the ratio between
the power transmitted in the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal to the power of
the unwanted emissions transmitted on the adjacent channel.
The corresponding receiver requirement is the Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS),
described in chapter 8.8.7, "Test Case 7.5A: Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS)",
on page 291.
The test specifications defines ACLR requirements for LTE and UTRA receivers. Different settings applies for paired and unpaired spectrum (see table 8-5 and
table 8-6).

Operating Band Unwanted Emissions

The 3GPP specification introduces the term operating band unwanted emissions
instead of the spectrum mask. The operating band unwanted emissions requirements
are defined from 10 MHz below the lowest frequency of the downlink operating
band up to 10 MHz above the highest frequency of the operating band.
Fig. 8-5: Transmitter tests frequency limits
The operating band unwanted emissions require a 100 kHz measurement bandwidth.
Spurious Emissions
The transmitter spurious emissions limits apply from 9 kHz to 12.5 GHz, excluding
the frequency range defined for the operating band unwanted emissions (see figure 8-5).
Refer to table 8-7 for an overview of the general settings for the measurements.
Additional requirements may apply for co-existence with other systems and/or colocation with other base stations. For detailed requirements, refer to the 3GPP TS
36.141.

8.8 Receiver Characteristics (TS 36.141, Chapter 7)

Most of the receiver tests can be performed with the signal generator only, i.e. without
additional measurement equipment.
The receiver requirements are divided into the following main categories, intended to
Prove the receiver's ability to receive the wanted signal:

chapter 8.8.4, "Test Case 7.2: Reference Sensitivity Level", on page 283
chapter 8.8.5, "Test Case 7.3: Dynamic range", on page 285
Prove how susceptible the receiver is to different types of interfering signals:

chapter 8.8.6, "Test Case 7.4: In-channel selectivity (ICS)", on page 288
chapter 8.8.7, "Test Case 7.5A: Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS)",

on page 291
chapter 8.8.8, "Test Case 7.5B: Narrow-band blocking", on page 293
chapter 8.8.9, "Test Case 7.6: Blocking", on page 296
chapter 8.8.10, "Test Case 7.8: Receiver intermodulation ", on page 300
The several test cases shell cover a wide range of scenarios with different types of
impairments on the wanted signal, that occur depending on the frequency offset
between the wanted and the interfering signal.

Fixed Reference Channels (FRC)
The receiver tests use fixed reference channels (FRC) as defined in 3GPP TS 36.141,
Annex A "Reference Measurement channels".
The following FRCs are defined for the receiver tests:
FRC A1: A1-1 .. A1-5 (QPSK)
FRC A2: A2-1 .. A2-3 (16QAM)
Refer to table 7-9 for an overview of all supported FRC.

case. This value is compared to the required value.
8.8.3 Interfering Signal Settings

The following settings are available for almost all receiver tests, requiring an interfering
signal. Specific parameters are listed together with the description of the corresponding
test case.
Interferer Type
(enabled for Blocking and Receiver Intermodulation tests)
280
EUTRA/LTE
Test Case Wizard

Selects the type of the interfering signal:

For Blocking tests, the interfering signal can be an in-band EUTRA/LTE signal or
out-of-band CW signal.
For Receiver Intermodulation tests, the first interfering signal can be an EUTRA/
LTE signal or narrow-band EUTRA signal.
The second interfering signal is always a CW signal.
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:TCW:IS:IFTYpe on page 512
RF Frequency
Display the center frequency of the interfering signal.
The center frequency is calculated as follow:
For "Frequency Allocation" set to "Wanted Signal at Lower Frequencies"
"RF Frequencyinterfering signal" = "RF Frequencywanted signal" + Delta
For "Frequency Allocation" set to "Wanted Signal at Higher Frequencies"
"RF Frequencyinterfering signal" = "RF Frequencywanted signal" - Delta
Where for both cases Delta is calculated as follow:
Delta = "Channel Bandwidthwanted signal"/2 + Offsetinterfering signal
Example:
"Channel Bandwidthwanted signal" = 5 MHz
"RF Frequencywanted signal" = 1 950 MHz
Offsetinterfering signal = 2.5025 MHz (see table 8-12)
Delta = 5/2 + 2.5025 = 5.0025 MHz
For "Frequency Allocation" = "Wanted Signal at Lower Frequencies" the "RF Frequencyinterfering signal" = 1 950 + 5.0025 = 1 955.0025 MHz

Number of Resource Blocks
The number of RBs used by the LTE interfering signal is set automatically:
For ACS and In-channel Selectivity measurements, the number of RBs depends
on the selected channel bandwidth for the wanted signal. The bandwidth of the interfering signal is equal to the bandwidth allocated for the wanted signal, but at the most
5 MHz.
For Narrow-band Blocking tests, the interfering signal is a single resource block
LTE signal.
Remote command:

Offset VRB
(Test Case 7.4 and 7.5 only)
The position of the RBs allocated by the LTE interfering signal is determined automatically, depending on the selected "Channel Bandwidth" and the RBs allocation of the
wanted signal.
282
EUTRA/LTE
Test Case Wizard

For in-channel testing, the parameter "Offset VRB" is used to allocate the wanted
and the interfering signal around the center frequency (see also figure 8-9).
For ACS testing, the "Offset VRB" is fixed to 0.
For narrow band blocking testing, the "Offset VRB" is set in the way, that deppending on the "Frequency Allocation" of the interfering signal, the narrow-band LTE
interfering signal is allocated at the most left or the most rigth subcarrier in the allocated channel bandwidth
Remote command:
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:TCW:IS:OVRB? on page 513
Frequency Shift m
(Test Case 7.5 only)
By default, the narrow-band LTE interfering signal is allocated at the most left (interfering
signal at higher frequencies)/ most right (interfering signal at lower frequencies) subcarrier in the allocated channel bandwidth. However, the position of the interfering signal
can be set by means of the parameter "Frequency Shift m", i.e. the allocated RB can be
offset to a different center frequency (see figure 8-10).
The parameter Interfering RB Center Frequency displays the center frequency of the
resource block the interfering signal is currently allocated on.
The value range of the parameter depends on the selected "Channel Bandwidth", as
defined in table 8-13.

Short Description
In-channel selectivity (ICS) is a measure of the receiver ability to receive a "weak" wanted
signal at its assigned Resource Block locations in the presence of a "strong" interfering
signal. The interfering signal shall be an EUTRA/LTE signal with the same bandwidth as
the wanted signal, but at the most 5 MHz. The wanted and the interfering signal are
allocated around the center frequency (see figure 8-9); to swap the position of the wanted
and interfering signal, use the parameter "Frequency Allocation".

8.8.9 Test Case 7.6: Blocking

Test Purpose
The test stresses the ability of the BS receiver to withstand high-level interference from
unwanted signals at specified frequency offsets without undue degradation of its sensitivity [6].
Required Options
The following options are sufficient for tests with CW interfering signal:
Additionaly, the following options are necessary for tests with LTE interfering signal:
Test Setup
The blocking test using a EUTRA/LTE interfering signal can be performed with one
instrument, see chapter 8.4.2, "Standard Test Setup - Two Paths", on page 258. This
setup can also be used for the CW interfering signal case but only for the CW signals
with up to 3 GHz or 6 GHz carrier, depending on the installed option. For tests with CW
with frequency greater than 6 GHz a second signal generator is necessary, like R&S SMF
for instance.
Short Description
The blocking characteristics is a test case that verifies the ability of the receiver to
demodulate a wanted signal in the presence of a strong interfering signal. The test is split
into two scenarios:
Test of in-band blocking, performed with an LTE interfering signal inside the operating
band (seetable 8-4 ), but not adjacent to the wanted signal.
Test of out-of-band blocking, performed with a CW interfering signal with 1 MHz up

to 12.750 GHz.
There is an additional (optional) blocking requirements for co-location with other base
station.

The generated signal is a noise like AWGN signal. This mode is inten"False Detection Rate (Pfa)" ded for measurement of the total probability of false detection of the
preamble (Pfa).
"Detection
Rate (Pd)"
The generated signal is a sequence of 10 preamble and noise. The

duration of one single sequence is 5 frames in FDD and 10 frames in
TDD duplexing mode.
This mode is intended for measurement of the probability of detection
of preamble (Pd).
"Alternating Pd
and Pfa"
The generated signal is a sequence of 10 enabled and 10 disabled

preambles; during the latest only noise is transmitted. The duration of
one single sequence is 10 FDD frames and 20 TDD frames.
This mode is intended for measuring both the probability of detection
of preamble (Pd) and the probability of false detection of the preamble
(Pfa) in one run.

The following commands are required to perform signal generation with the EUTRA/LTE
options in a remote environment. We assume that the R&S Signal Generator has already
been set up for remote operation in a network as described in the R&S Signal Generator
documentation. A knowledge about the remote control operation and the SCPI command
syntax are assumed.
This subsystem contains commands for the primary and general settings of the EUTRA/
LTE standard. These settings concern activation and deactivation of the standard, setting
the transmission direction, filter, clock, trigger and clipping settings, defining the frame
configuration and the sequence length, as well as the preset setting.
The commands for defining the frame configuration for physical layer mode OFDMA and
SC-FDMA are described in the next sections. The commands are divided up in this way
to make the comprehensive SOURce:BB:EUTRa subsystem clearer.

Trigger Settings
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa[:TRIGger]:SEQuence <TriggerMode>
Selects the trigger mode.
Parameters:
<TriggerMode>
AUTO | RETRigger | AAUTo | ARETrigger | SINGle

AUTO
The modulation signal is generated continuously.
RETRigger
The modulation signal is generated continuously. A trigger event
(internal or external) causes a restart.
AAUTo
The modulation signal is generated only when a trigger event
occurs. After the trigger event the signal is generated continuously. Signal generation is stopped with command
BB:EUTR:TRIG:ARM:EXEC and started again when a trigger
event occurs.
This mode is used for example for Base Station Tests if a frame
marker from the device under test starts the signal output. Subsequent frame markers will not cause a restart of the signal.
ARETrigger
occurs. The device automatically toggles to RETR mode. Every
subsequent trigger event causes a restart.
Signal generation is stopped with command
BB:EUTR:TRIG:ARM:EXEC and started again when a trigger
event occurs.
SINGle
occurs. Then the signal is generated once to the length specified
with command BB:EUTR:TRIG:SLEN. Every subsequent trigger
event causes a restart.
*RST:
AUTO
Example:
BB:EUTR:SEQ AAUT
sets the "Armed_auto" trigger mode; the device waits for the first
trigger (e.g. with *TRG) and then generates the signal continuously.
Manual operation:
See "Trigger Mode" on page 242
[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:EUTRa:TRIGger:ARM:EXECute

9.22 Test Case Wizard Remote-Control Commands

The "Test Case Wizard" is supported by R&S SMU, R&S SMATE, R&S SMJ and R&S
SMBV.
The signal generator gives you the opportunity to generate predefined settings which
enable tests on base stations in conformance with the 3G standard EUTRA/LTE. It offers
a selection of predefined settings according to Test Cases in TS 36.141. The settings
take effect only after execution of command
[SOURce<hw>:]BB:EUTRa:TCW:APPLysettings.
The test setups and equipment requirements for each Test Case are described in chapter 8, "Test Case Wizard", on page 253.
