Modeling Basics

Resource grids, resource extraction, FDD and TDD duplexing modes, parameter structures

LTE Toolbox™ functions create valid 3GPP parameter sets and model LTE physical layer processing. The parameter configuration functions create and initialize parameter structures that align with specified 3GPP reference measurement channel (RMC), fixed reference channel (FRC), or E-UTRA test model (E-TM) settings. Use the parameter structures as inputs to waveform generation functions to create waveforms compliant with 3GPP LTE and UMTS standards.

Describes frequency and time division duplexing (LTE frame structure type 1 and 2) and representation in the LTE Toolbox product.

Parameter Structures

Parameterization
Describes the function parameter style, the way parameters are passed to the toolbox functions. Some of the functions in the LTE Toolbox require a large number of parameters. To simplify this process and to group together relevant parameters, structures are used.
LTE Parameterization for Waveform Generation and Simulation
This example shows how to parameterize end-to-end simulations and generate static waveforms by using LTE Toolbox™ software.
UL-SCH Parameterization
Describes parameterization forms for the UL-SCH and PUSCH related functions.

LTE DL-SCH and PDSCH Processing Chain

In LTE the Downlink Shared Channel (DL-SCH) is a transport channel used for the transmission of user data, dedicated control and user-specific higher layer information and downlink system information. The Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) is the physical channel that carries the DL-SCH coded data. This example shows the different stages involved in the Downlink Shared Channel (DL-SCH) and Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) processing and provides access to the data from these intermediate stages.
