Antenna Port
Total number of Antennas
System Bandwidth
Total number of Resource Blocks
Total number of Occupied Sub-carriers
Subcarrier Spacing
Cyclic Prefix
Number of Subcarriers for Resource Block

Cell ID
Range: 0 to 503
Default: 1

Enter a value for the Cell ID. The software sets the values in the Physical Layer Cell ID
Group and Physical Layer Cell ID Sector cells based on the Cell ID entry. Cell ID = [(3 x
Physical Cell ID Group) + Physical Cell ID Sector]. See 3GPP TS 36.211.

Physical Layer Cell ID Group

Range: 0 to 167
Default: 0
The software sets this value based on the Cell ID entry. Cell ID = [(3 x Physical Cell ID Group) +
Physical Cell ID Sector]. (See 3GPP TS 36.211.)

Physical Layer Cell ID Sector

Choice: 0 | 1 | 2
Default: 0
The software sets this value based on the Cell ID entry. Cell ID = [(3 x Physical Cell ID Group) +
Physical Cell ID Sector]. (See 3GPP TS 36.211.)

Number of Orthogonal Sequence

Range: 0 to 2
When you set the value in the Physical Layer Cell ID Sector cell, the software sets the Number of
Orthogonal Sequence to the corresponding value. (See 3GPP TS 36.211.)

Antenna Port
Choice: 0 | 1 | 2 | 3
Default: 0
In multi-antenna configurations, specify the antenna to be used for transmitting the downlink signal. The
available selections are determined by the Total Number of Antennas setting.

Total number of Antennas

Choice: 1 Antenna | 2 Antennas | 4 Antennas
Default: 1 Antenna
Specify the total number of base station antennas.
For multiple signal generator configurations, set the Channel State parameter in the Fading section of the
Carrier node to On to make this cell active. When the channel state is off, you must change the number
of signal generators (for example, use a Quick Setup) to change the number of BS antennas.

System Bandwidth
Choice: 1.4 MHz (6RB) | 3 MHz (15RB) | 5 MHz (25RB) | 10 MHz (50RB) | 15 MHz (75RB) | 20 MHz (100RB)

Double-click or use the drop-down menu to set the system bandwidth and number of Resource Blocks
(RB).

Total number of Resource Blocks

The value in this cell is set by the software based on the System Bandwidth setting.

Total number of Occupied Sub-carriers

The value in this cell is set by the software based on the System Bandwidth setting. The center
subcarrier is not used for downlink transmission, so the number of transmitted subcarriers is one less than
the number of occupied subcarriers.

Subcarrier Spacing

Default: 15 kHz
Displays the subcarrier spacing for the downlink. Only 15 kHz spacing is available in this release.

Cyclic Prefix
Choice: Normal | Extended
Default: Normal
Double-click or use the drop-down menu to select a Normal or Extended cyclic prefix. The software
sets the Number of Symbols for Resource Block based on the cyclic prefix selection.

Number of Subcarriers for Resource Block

Default: 12
Displays the number of consecutive subcarriers in a downlink resource block.

Number of Symbols for Resource Block

Default: 7 for Normal Cyclic Prefix; 6 for Extended Cyclic Prefix

Displays the number of consecutive OFDM symbols in a downlink slot.

One cell specific reference signal is transmitted from each downlink antenna port.
The downlink cell specific reference signal can be used for the following purposes:

Cell search and initial acquisition

Downlink channel quality measurements

Downlink channel estimation for coherent demodulation/detection at the UE

Antenna Mapping for Port 6

Range: 0 or 1, as comma separated values (CSV), equal to the number of antennas selected.
Default: 1
Enter 0 or 1 separated by commas to assign the Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) to the physical
antennas. The comma separate length is up to the Total Number of Antennas. 0 and 1 mean Off and On
respectively. Comma separate sequence order means physical antenna port number.
Example: Total Number of Antennas = 4 Antennas and Antenna Mapping = [1, 1, 1, 1] case, PRS is
assigned to all antennas (port 0 to 3). See 3GPP TS 36.211.

Number of PDCCH Symbols

Range: 1 to 3 (N_DL_RB > 10), 2 or 3 (N_DL_RB <= 10)
Default: 2
Enter the number of PDCCH symbols for all of the positioning reference signal (PRS) subframes.
This parameter defines the number of PDCCH OFDM symbols for all of the PRS subframes. The PRS are
assigned by the Number of Consecutive DL Frames (N_PRS), PRS Configuration Index (I_PRS), PRS
Periodicity (T_PRS), and PRS Subframe Offset (Delta_PRS).
If the PRS State = on and a PRS subframe is assigned, corresponding subframe of PDCCH Allocations
parameters in DCI are changed by the Number of PDCCH Symbols.
Where: N_DL_RB <= 10, the Number of PDCCH Symbols allowed is 2 or 3.
Where: N_DL_RB > 10, the Number of PDCCH Symbols allowed is 1 to 3.

Default: 5 MHz (25RB)
Specifies the bandwidth (resource block size) that is used to configure the positioning reference signals
(PRS).
The available PRS Bandwidth setting value is determined by the System Bandwidth. If the System
Bandwidth was set to less than the PRS Bandwidth, the PRS Bandwidth is automatically set the same as
the System Bandwidth.
Refer 3GPP TS 36.211 and 36.355.

Number of Consecutive DL Frames (N_PRS)

Choice: 1 subframe | 2 subframes | 4 subframes | 6 subframes
Default: 1 subframe
Specifies the number of consecutive downlink subframes N_PRS with positioning reference signals
(PRS).
This is a time accumulation for accuracy improvement to configure the consecutive PRS.
Refer 3GPP TS 36.211.

PRS Configuration Index (I_PRS)

Range: 0 to 2399
Default: 0
Enter the PRS Configuration Index for the positioning reference signals (PRS).
This automatically defines both the PRS Periodicity and the PRS Subframe Offset.
The first Subframe of the N_PRS downlink subframes shall satisfy (10 * SFN + Floor(Slot# / 2) Delta_PRS) mod T_PRS = 0.

Choice: 160 (subframes) | 320 (subframes) | 640 (subframes) | 1280 (subframes)

Default: 160 (subframes)
This is a read-only parameter automatically decided by PRS Configuration (I_PRS) as follows:
The first subframe of N_PRS downlink subframes shall satisfy (10 * SFN + Floor(Slot# / 2) - Delta_PRS)
mod T_PRS = 0.
I_PRS = 0 to 159 case, T_PRS = 160 (subframes).

PRS Subframe Offset (Delta_PRS)

Range: 0 to 1280 (subframes)
Default: 0 (subframe)
This is a read only parameter automatically decided by the PRS Configuration (I_PRS) as follows:
The first subframe of the N_PRS downlink subframes shall satisfy (10 * SFN + Floor(Slot# / 2) Delta_PRS) mod T_PRS = 0.
I_PRS = 0 to 159 case, Delta_PRS = I_PRS
I_PRS = 160 to 479 case, Delta_PRS = I_PRS - 160
I_PRS = 480 to 1119 case, Delta_PRS = I_PRS - 480
I_PRS = 1120 to 2399 case, Delta_PRS = I_PRS - 1120
Where: Wave Generation Length < (PRS Subframe Offset + Number of Consecutive DL Frames), a part
of or all of PRSs are not available for the current waveform.
For more detail, refer 3GPP TS 36.211.

PRS Muting Sequence Length

Choice: 2 | 4 | 8 | 16
Default: 2
Specifies the bit length of PRS Muting Sequence parameter.

PRS Muting Sequence

Range: 0 or 1 with comma separate input
Length: PRS Muting Sequence Length
Default: 1,1
Specifies PRS Muting Sequence. The value '0' means muting and '1' means not muting in the sequence.
The sequence length is defined by PRS Muting Sequence Length parameter.
If a bit in the PRS muting sequence is set to '0', the PRS is muted in the corresponding PRS positioning
occasion. A PRS positioning occasion comprises of N_PRS downlink positioning subframes. The first bit
of the PRS muting sequence corresponds to the first PRS positioning occasion.
Refer 3GPP TS 36.355.

Synchronization Signals (Advanced LTE FDD Downlink)

Two types of synchronization signals are used for the downlink in LTE:

Primary synchronization signal (P-SS)

The primary synchronization signal is used to synchronize timing during cell search.

Secondary synchronization signal (S-SS)

The secondary synchronization signal is used to synchronize timing and to transmit cell group
identification during cell search

Additional Downlink parameters are described in Cell Parameters (Advanced LTE FDD Downlink), Cell
Specific Reference Signal (Advanced LTE FDD Downlink), Positioning Reference Signals (PRS) (Advanced LTE FDD Downlink), and Power Relevant Parameters (Advanced LTE FDD Downlink).

be transmitted on a single antenna (Port0/1/2/3) or all the antenna ports.
