Chapter 1: 3GPP LTE Wireless Design
Library
The Agilent EEsof EDA 3GPP LTE Wireless Design Library is provided for the 3GPP
long term evolution (LTE) market. This design library follows the 3GPP TS 36.211
V1.2.1 (July 2007), 3GPP TS 36.212 v1.2.3 (July 2007) and some additional proposals. The
3GPP LTE Design Library is intended to be a baseline system for designers to
develop an idea of what nominal or ideal system performance would be. Evaluations
can be made regarding degraded system performance due to system impairments
that may include non-ideal component performance.
3GPP LTE System

3GPP work on the Evolution of the 3G Mobile System started with the RAN
Evolution Work Shop, 2 - 3 November 2004 in Toronto, Canada. The Work Shop was
open to all interested organizations, including both members and non-members of
3GPP. Operators, manufacturers and research institutes presented more than 40
contributions with views and proposals on the evolution of the Universal Terrestrial
Radio Access Network (UTRAN).
A set of high level requirements was identified in the Work Shop:
• Reduced cost per bit
• Increased service provisioning - more services at lower cost with better user
experience
• Flexibility of use of existing and new frequency bands
• Simplified architecture, open interfaces
• Allow for reasonable terminal power consumption
Frame structure type 1 is applicable to both FDD and TDD. Each radio frame is
T f = 307200 × T s = 10ms long and consists of 20 slots of length T slot = 15360 × T s = 0.5ms ,
numbered from 0 to 19, see Figures 1-1. A subframe is defined as two consecutive slots where
subframe i consists of slots 2i and 2i+1.
For FDD, 10 subframes are available for downlink transmission and 10 subframes are available for
uplink transmissions in each 10ms interval. Uplink and downlink transmission are separated in the
frequency domain.
1-1
3GPP LTE Wireless Design Library
For TDD, a subframe is either allocated to downlink or uplink transmission.

Subframe 0 and subframe 5 are always allocated for downlink transmission.
Figure 1-1. Frame structure type 1

The downlink transmission scheme (OFDMA) is based on conventional OFDM using
a cyclic prefix, with a sub-carrier spacing ∆f = 15 kHz and a cyclic-prefix (CP)
duration T CP ≈ 4.7 ⁄ 16.7 µs (short/long CP). Assuming that a 10 ms radio frame is
divided into 20 equally sized slots (of which, in case of TDD operation, a subset is
allocated for downlink transmission), this parameter set implies a slot duration Tslot
= 0.5 ms. The basic transmission parameters are then specified in more detail in
Table 1-1 below.

for 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz bandwidth, respectively.

Normal CP.
The downlink reference signal (RS) are always transmitted in the first OFDM symbol
and the last third symbol in one slot. The primary synchronization channel (P-SCH)
and secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) are transmitted in the last and
second last OFDM symbols in slot 0 (subframe 0) and slot 10 (subframe 5). Both
P-SCH and S-SCH occupy centeral 6 resource blcoks (RB, 72 subcarriers). For
Normal CP and Extended CP, the first three OFDM symbols are reserved for PDCCH
in subframe 0 and 5. Other subframes do not transmit PDCCH in current ADS 3GPP
LTE wireless library. P-BCH is always transmitted in subframe 0. P-BCH occupies
centeral 6 RBs (same as P-SCH and S-SCH) in spectrum. Sub-carriers from up to four
OFDM symbols are allocated to P-BCH. In the frame structure with the normal
(short) CP, the allocations appear in slot #0, symbols #3, #4 and slot #1, symbol #0,
#1. In the frame structure with the extended (long) CP, the allocations appear in slot
#0, symbols #3 and slot #1, symbol #0, #1, #2.
The relation between physical resource blocks and resource elements is show in Figure 1-2.
1-3
Figure 1-2. Illustration of the relation between resource blocks and resource elements
For TDD operation with frame structure type 1, the last N GP downlink OFDM
symbol(s) in a subframe immediately preceding a downlink-to-uplink switch point
can be reserved for guard time and consequently not transmitted. The supported
guard periods are listed in Table 1-2.

Extended cyclic prefix 0,1,2,3 0,1,2,3,4,10
The basic uplink transmission scheme is single-carrier transmission (SC-FDMA)

with cyclic prefix to achieve uplink inter-user orthogonality and to enable efficient
frequency-domain equalization at the receiver side. Frequency-domain generation of
the signal, sometimes known as DFT-spread OFDM, is assumed and illustrated in
Figure 1-3.
1-4
Figure 1-3. Transmitter Structure for SC-FDMA
This allows for a relatively high degree of commonality with the downlink OFDM
scheme and the same parameters. For example, clock frequency can be reused.
One uplink slot (0.5ms) for generic frame structure consists of five or six SC-FDMA
data symbols and one reference symbol (RS). The transmitted signal in each slot is
described by the contents of N symbUL SC-FDMA symbols, numbered from 0 to
UL
N symb – 1 . Each SC-FDMA symbol carries multiple complex-valued modulation
symbols a u, 1 representing the contents of resource element (u,l) where u is the time
index within SC-FDMA symbol l. For the generic frame structure, all SC-FDMA
symbols are of the same size. Figure 1-4 below shows the slot structure.
Figure 1-4. Uplink Slot Format (Generic Frame Structure)

The number of SC-FDMA symbols in a slot depends on the cyclic prefix length
configured by higher layers and is given in Table 1-3.
Table 1-3. Number of SC-FDMA Symbols Per Slot
1-5
For the generic frame structure, the demodulation reference signal is mapped to
SC-FDMA symbol l=3. The reference signal symbol is always the 4th SC-FDMA
symbol for the Normal cyclic prefix and Extended cyclic prefix.
Table 1-4 lists the values of NCP,1 and Nd that are used for the generic frame
structure. Note that different blocks within a slot may have different cyclic prefix
lengths.

1. This model is used to implement Turbo encoding for LTE system.
2. The scheme of Turbo coder is a Parallel Concatenated Convolutional Code
(PCCC) with two 8-state constituent encoders and one turbo code internal
interleaver. The coding rate of turbo coder is 1/3. The structure of turbo coder
is illustrated in Figure 2-1.

3. The transfer function of the 8-state constituent code for PCCC is:
where
The initial value of the shift registers of the 8-state constituent encoders shall
be all zeros when starting to encode the input bits.
4. Trellis termination is performed by taking the tail bits from the shift register
feedback after all information bits are encoded. Tail bits are padded after the
encoding of information bits. The first three tail bits shall be used to terminate
the first constituent encoder (upper switch of Figure 2-1 in lower position) while
the second constituent encoder is disabled. The last three tail bits shall be used
to terminate the second constituent encoder (lower switch of Figure 2-1 in lower
position) while the first constituent encoder is disabled.

code internal interleaver are denoted by .
The relationship between the input and output bits is as follows:

Notes/Equations:
1. This model is used to implement Turbo decoding for LTE system.
2. An iterative decoding scheme based on the modified BAHL et al. algorithm
[3][4] is used in this model. The iterative number can be set from 1 through to
20 through parameter setting. In theory, as the number of these iterations
approaches infinity, the estimate at the output of decoder will approach the
maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution.

3. Figures 2-2 shows the Turbo decoder structure
.
Figure 2-2. Structure of Turbo decoder

The decoder 1 computes Logarithm of Likelihood Ration(LLR) associated with
each decoded bit from the systematic information (Xk), redundant information
of encoder 1 (y1k) and extrinsic information (Zk).
Decoder 2 takes as input the interleaved version of LLR, the redundant
information of second encoder (y2k). The extrinsic information from decoder 2 is
interleaved to produce Zk, which is fed back to decoder 1.

inter-colum permuted R × C matrix is equal to
2-22
7. The output of the block interleaver is the bit sequence read out column by
column from the inter-column permuted R × C matrix. The bits after sub-block
interleaving are denoted by v0, v1, v2,…, vK’-1, where v0 corresponds to yP(0), v1

Notes/Equations
1. This model is used to generate channel models for mobile wireless applications.
2. This model is implemented following Rec.ITU-R M.1225.
A set of 4 modified International Telecommunication Union (ITU) channel
models are constructed to simulate the multipath fading of the channel. The
multipath fading is modeled as a tapped-delay line with 6 taps with
non-uniform delays. The gain associated with each tap is characterized by a
distribution (Ricean with a K-factor>0, or Rayleigh with K-factor=0) and the
maximum Doppler frequency. For each tap, the method of filtered noise is used
to generate channel coefficients with the specified distribution and spectral
power density.
The definition of the 4 specific ITU channels is shown in the following tables:

The total channel gain is normalized by adding the specified Normalization

Factor to each tap.
The specified Doppler is the maximum Doppler frequency parameter (fm) of the
rounded spectrum which has the power spectral density (PSD) function as
follows:

where f 0 = ----- --- f , v is the mobile’s velocity relative to base station.

The set of ITU channel models specify statistical parameters of microscopic

effects. To simulate the real channel, these statistics have to be combined with
macroscopic channel effects, i.e. the path loss (including shadowing) which will
be introduced in the later section.
The COST 207 model with a correction term is used to simulate the path loss
for both pedestrian and vehicular environments if the PathLoss is ON and other
parameters are set according to the specific environment.
3. Parameter Details
• ModelType specifies the type of ITU channel.
The relationship of the channel type and the terrain type is shown in the
following.
3-5
ModelType A and B are outdoor to indoor and pedestrian environment, while

Type C and D are vehicular environment. Type User-Defined is used to
construct user defined channel model.
• Velocity specifies the mobile’s velocity relative to base station.
• PropDistance specifies the distance between base station and mobile station.
• PathLoss identifies whether the large-scale pathloss is included.
If PathLoss = NO, then the path loss is not included in this model and the
parameters describing the environment are unused.
If PathLoss = YES, then the path loss for both urban and suburban
environments is modeled by the COST 207 model with a correction term.
There are three terms which make up the model:
The Path Loss model for outdoor to indoor and pedestrian test environment
is,
L = 40 log R + 30 log f + 49
where R is the propagation distance and f is the frequency.

The Path Loss model for vehicular test environment is,
–3
L = [ 40 ( 1 – 4 × 10 ∆h b ) ] log R – 18 log ∆h b + 21 log f + 80
where R is the propagation distance and f is the frequency, ∆h b is the height

between base station antenna and mobile.
• Delay, Power and Ricean_factor specify the delay, power and ricean factor for
each path when ModelType selected as UserDefined.
4. Output delay
A delay of 64 tokens is introduced in this model.

FrameMode is set to TDD, the elements of Subframe_Bitmap is used to indicate the
assignment of each subframe: 1 means the subframe is for downlink, and 0 means the
subframe is for uplink, and GuardPeriod indicate the number of guard symbols preceding
DL to UL switch point.The schematic for this subnetwork is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1. LTE_DL_EVM Schematic

2. The models in the upper part of the schematic extract the reference signal from
the input signal. The LTE_DL_TimeFreqSync component performs timing and
frequency synchronization by using a P-SCH time domain signal and outputs
the synchronization index and estimated frequency offset. Both synchronization
index and estimated frequency offset are fed to LTE_DL_DemuxFrame.
4-5
LTE_DL_DemuxFrame compensates frequency offset by using the estimated

frequency offset. LTE_DL_DemuxFrame then outputs the real radio frame by
using the synchronization index after removing the IdleInterval. This model
causes one frame radio delay.
One radio frame (10ms) includes 20 slots. LTE_DL_DemuxSlot is used to
demultiplex one slot into seven or six OFDM symbols by removing the cyclic
prefix. There are seven OFDM symbols for the Normal Cyclic Prefix and six
OFDM symbols for the Extended Cyclic Prefix.
LTE_OFDM_Demodulator transfers the input time domain signals into a
frequency domain signal using an FFT procedure. The demodulated signals are
then generated by removing NULL subcarriers and exchanging plus frequency
subcarriers and minus frequency subcarriers.
The demodulated signals are input into the LTE_DL_ChEstimator to get the
channel impulse response (CIR) for each active subcarrier.
LTE_DL_ChEstimator works slot by slot. First, LTE_DL_ChEstimator uses the
first reference symbols and the second reference symbols if available to get the
real CIRs for positions of reference symbols. Then, the CIRs of other positions
(except positions of reference symbols) are obtained by interpolating the CIRs of
positions of the reference symbols. After obtaining the CIR of each active
subcarrier in each of the OFDM symbols, the frequency domain equalizer (one
tap) or channel compensator can be used. The demodulated OFDM symbol can
be achieved by using this frequency domain equalizer.
LTE_DL_DemuxOFDMSym demultiplexes the demodulated OFDM symbols (in
one radio frame) into P-SCH, S-SCH, BCH, DPCCH and six UEs mapping
signals, and then outputs all of these signals as reference symbols.
The six LTE_DL_EVM_Sinks in the lower part of the schematic performs an
EVM calculation using the reference symbols and input symbols.
3. The EVM is defined as the RMS value of the error vector difference between the
ideal reference signal and the measured signal. Its generic form can be written
as follows:
0.5
 Ave ( s i – r i 2 )
EVM RMS

Notes/Equations
1. This subnetwork measures the complementary cumulative distribution
function (CCDF) of the RF signal, PeakPower and AvgPower.
2. SamplesFrame (explained in item 4 below) tokens are consumed at pin input and
SymLen x SymNum tokens are used for measurement. The distribution range is
divided into segments and the corresponding distribution probability is
calculated based on these segments. Peak power of 99.9% probability and
4-17
average power of input signals are calculated. These results are collected by the
PeakPower and AvgPower NumericSinks.
3. Note that the units of PeakPower and AvgPower are dBm; SignalRange is the
transient absolute signal power minus AvgPower, so the unit of SignalRange is
dB.
4. SamplesFrame is the total sample of one downlink frame including zero padding
and calculated as follows:
OversamplingOption
SamplesFrame = Samples idle + FrameDuration × F s × 2
where Samplesidle is the samples of IdleInterval and calculated as follows:

OversamplingOption
Samplesidle = IdleInterval × 2 × Fs
Fs is the sampling frequency decided by Bandwidth; these are listed in

In EEsof LTE implementation, the RS offset is not fixed as Figures 5-1.
Parameters RS1_Offset and RS2_Offset are for the start position of First
reference symbol and Second reference symbol, respectively.
2. The least-squares CR estimate at a pilot location (i) can be obtained as:
Y
H i = ------i
Xi
where Yi is the received Pilot symbol and Xi is the transmitted Pilot symbol on
the ith subcarrier. After getting the CRs at pilot locations, an interpolation algorithm is
used to obtain all CR estimations. The interpolation algorithms designed in this model is
linear interpolation in frequency and symbol domain.

Notes/Equations
1. This model is used to demultiplex LTE downlink frame, which includes
removing idle interval, pre-downsampling, and compensating time and carrier
frequency offsets. Each firing, 1 token is consumed at index and DeltaF
respectively, and SamplingFreq * 2OversamplingOption * (0.01 + IdleInterval)
tokens are consumed at DataIn, which is the number of samples 20 slots and
idle interval contain. 0.01 is the time duration of the 20 time slots which
constitute one radio frame, and IdleInterval is the time duration of the idle
interval. SamplingFreq is sampling frequency, which is denoted as Fs and
determined by Bandwidth as follows:
5-6
 1.92 MHz BW = 1.4 or 1.6 MHz
 3.84 MHz BW = 3.0 or 3.2 MHz

 7.68 MHz BW = 5 MHz
Fs = 
 15.36 MHz BW = 10 MHz
 23.04 MHz BW = 15 MHz

 30.72 MHz BW = 20 MHz
And each firing, SamplingFreq * 0.01 tokens are exported if PreDownsampling
is set to YES, otherwise SamplingFreq * 2OversamplingOption * 0.01 tokens are
exported if PreDownsampling is set to NO.
2. Because of the transmission delay, a detected frame usually falls into 2
consecutive received blocks, so the buffer length for DataIn is
SamplingFreq * 2OversamplingOption * (0.01 + IdleInterval) * 2. The start
point of the detected frame is determined by the token consumed at index. Only
after receiving the second input block, this model can output one actual frame.
So this model causes one frame delay.
3. The DeltaF inputs the estimated frequency offset ( ∆f i ) of each received frame.
The i-th estimated frequency offset ( ∆f i ) compensates for the phase in the
current frame only. Assume x 0, x 1, …, x N sequences are the input signals from
DataIn, y 0, y 1, …, y N are the sequences, whose phase caused by frequency offset
are removed, where N is the number of samples within one radio frame.Then:
– j2π∆f i kT Step
yk = x k × e
where ∆f i is frequency offset of the i-th received frame which is the input at
DeltaF,
1 - is the sample time interval in the system.

4. The downlink P-SCH, S-SCH and BCH are transmitted only in the central part of the overall
transmission band of the cell. P-SCH, S-SCH and BCH structure are based on the constant
bandwidth of 1.25 MHz (72 subcarriers).The downlink transmission scheme (OFDMA) is
based on conventional OFDM using a cyclic prefix, with a sub-carrier spacing ∆f = 15 kHz
and a cyclic-prefix (CP) duration T CP ≈ 4.7 ⁄ 16.7 µs (short/long CP). Assuming that a
10 ms radio frame is divided into 20 equally sized slots (of which, in case of TDD operation,
a subset is allocated for downlink transmission), this parameter set implies a slot duration
Tslot = 0.5 ms. The basic transmission parameters are then specified in more detail in

After removing cyclic prefix, the time domain OFDM signals are input into FFT
(LTE_FFT). After LTE_FFT, the frequency domain mapping signals are output
after removing NULL subcarriers and reordering. The FFT procedure is
completed in LTE_FFT. The FFT size is N FFT . One downlink OFDM symbol
consists of N BW DL . Resource Block’s (RB) mapping signals (the index is from 0 to
DL
12 × N BW – 1 ) and one DC-NULL signal. In the ADS implementation, the input
of LTE_DL_OFDM_Modulator is N = 12 × N BW DL (it does not include DC NULL

subcarrier). These N mapping signals in one OFDM symbol are output as
follows:

2. LTE_DL_TimeFreqSync component is for timing and frequency synchronization
by using P-SCH time domain signal and outputs synchronization index and
estimated frequency offset. Both synchronization index and estimated
frequency offset are input to LTE_DL_DemuxFrame.
First, LTE_DL_DemuxFrame compensates frequency offset by using the
estimated frequency offset. Then, it outputs the real radio frame by using
synchronization index after removing the IdleInterval. This model causes one
frame radio delay.
One radio frame (10 ms) includes 20 slots. LTE_DL_DemuxSlot is used to
demultiplex one slot into seven or six OFDM symbols by removing cyclic prefix.
There are 7 OFDM symbols for Normal Cyclic Prefix and 6 OFDM symbols for
Extended Cyclic Prefix.
First, LTE_OFDM_Demodulator transfers input time domain signals into
frequency domain signal by FFT procedure. Then, the demodulated signals are
generated by removing NULL subcarriers and exchanging plus frequency
subcarriers and minus frequency subcarriers.
The demodulated signals are input to LTE_DL_ChEstimator to get channel
impulse response (CIR) for each active subcarriers. LTE_DL_ChEstimator
works slot by slot. First, LTE_DL_ChEstimator uses the first reference symbols
and the second reference symbols if available to get the real CIRs for positions
of reference symbols. Then, the CIRs of other positions (except positions of
reference symbols) are obtained by interpolating the CIRs of positions of the
reference symbols. After obtaining the CIR of each active subcarrier in each
OFDM symbols, the frequency domain equalizer (one tap) or channel
5-21
compensator can be used. The demodulated OFDM symbol can be achieved by

this frequency domain equalizer.
LTE_DL_DemuxOFDMSym demultiplexes the demodulated OFDM symbols (in
one radio frame) into P-SCH, S-SCH, BCH, PDCCH and six UEs mapping
signals and output all these signals.
3. Parameter Details.
• FrameMode: frame mode, it can determine FDD or TDD signal source to be
generated.
• Subframe_Bitmap: subframe bitmap of TDD mode. This parameter defines
which subframe is used for downlink or uplink. “1” represents for downlink
transmission and “0’ is for uplink transmission. For example the setting
Subframe_Bitmap={1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0}, it means subframes 0,1,2,5 and 6 are
to transmit downlink and subframe 3,4,7,8 and 9 are to transmit uplink.
• GuardPeriod: number of guard period symbols for TDD mode.
• Bandwidth: Bandwidth of LTE, the type is enum and it can be selected as BW
1.4/1.6 MHz, BW 3.0/3.2 MHz, BW 5 MHz, BW 10 MHz, BW 15 MHz and BW
20 MHz.
• NumOfRBs: number of resource blocks in the full transmit bandwidth. The
type is integer. It is determined by bandwidth parameter. It can be set to 6/7,
15/16, 24/25, 48/50, 72/75, 96/100 for BW 1.4/1.6 MHz, BW 3.0/3.2 MHz, BW
5 MHz, BW 10 MHz, BW 15 MHz and BW 20 MHz, respectively. Please note,
24, 48, 72 and 96 for BW 5 MHz, BW 10 MHz, BW 15 MHz and BW 20 MHz
are not defined in TR36.804. ADS LTE WL supports these number of
resource blocks except those number of resource blocks defined in the LTE
specification.
• OversamplingOption: Over-sampling ratio option. Oversampling ratio 1,
ratio 2, ratio 4 and ratio 8 are supported in this downlink source.
• CyclicPrefix: Type of cyclic prefix. It can be set to Normal and Extended.
Please note the first six OFDM symbols have the same shorter cyclic prefix
and the last OFDM symbol has the longer cyclic prefix in the Normal Cyclic
Prefix mode.
• UE1_PRB_Bitmap: PRB bitmaps allocation of user 1. The type of this
parameter is integer array and its sizeis determined by the NumOfRBs
parameters. For example the size is 25 or 24 if Bandwidth is 5 MHz. The
5-22
value range of each element is {0,1}. If the element is 1, this corresponding
PRB is allocated to UE 1; otherwise, this PRB is not allocated to UE 1.
• UE2_PRB_Bitmap: PRB bitmaps allocation of user 2.
• PowerBoosting: Power boosting of each UE data in dB. This parameter is the
floating array type. Each value is defined in units of dB. For example,
PowerBoosting ={0, 1, -3, 0, 2, -2} and Power=dbmtow(10), the transmit
powers of six UEs are 10, 11, -7, 10, 12 and 8 dBm.
• IdleInterval: Idle interval between two consecutive radio frame.
• ChInterpType: Type of interpolation algorithm in channel estimator. At
present, two types (Linear, Lagrange) of interpolation algorithm are
provided.
• PreDownsampling: Is the pre-downsampling to 1X symbol rate or not? If
PreDownsampling=YES, LTE_DL_DemuxFrame outputs the radio frame
with oversampling ratio 1 and the FFT size in LTE_DL_OFDM_Demodulator
is just the basic size defined in the specification. This setting can save some
resources and speed up the simulation. If PreDownsampling=NO,
LTE_DL_DemuxFrame outputs the radio frame with oversampling ratio and
the FFT size in LTE_DL_OFDM_Demodulator is the basic size (defined in
the specification) multiply oversampling ratio (defined in the top level
model).
• PilotSeqNum: Pilot sequence number. It controls the pilots (RS) format and
supports MIMO implementation.
• RS1_Offset: Subcarriers offset of the first reference symbol.
• RS2_Enable: Second reference symbol is enable or not. If Yes, the second
reference symbol is available in one slot; otherwise, there is no the second
reference symbol in one slot.
• RS2_Offset: Offset subcarriers of the second reference symbol. RS2_Position
and RS2_Offset are active just when RS2_Enable=Yes.
5-23
• PDCCH_Factor: Scale factor of PDCCH. This parameter can control the level
of PDCCH compared to the data subcarriers.
• PSCH_Factor: Scale factor of P-SCH. This parameter can control the level of
P-SCH compared to the data subcarriers.
• SSCH_Factor: Scale factor of S-SCH. This parameter can control the level of
S-SCH compared to the data subcarriers.
• BCH_Factor: Scale factor of BCH. This parameter can control the level of
BCH compared to the data subcarriers.
• RS_Factor: Scale factor of pilot of the reference symbol. This parameter can
control the level of pilot compared to the data subcarriers.
• CellID_Group: index of cell identity group. It defines the P-SCH sequence. The root
indices of P-SCH are M=25, M=29, M=34. CellID_Group=0 is M=25, 1 is 29 and 2 is
34.

1. This subnetwork completes the 3GPP LTE downlink FDD/TDD RF receiver (up to six

uncoded downlink receiver, and the QAM_Demod. The schematic for this subnetwork is
shown in Figure 5-5.

2. The baseband uncoded downlink receiver schematic is shown in Figure 5-6. The
LTE_DL_TimeFreqSync component is used for timing and frequency synchronization. It
uses the P-SCH time domain signal to output the synchronization index and estimated
frequency offset. Both synchronization index and estimated frequency offset are input into
LTE_DL_DemuxFrame.
LTE_DL_DemuxFrame first compensates frequency offset by using the
estimated frequency offset. LTE_DL_DemuxFrame then outputs the real radio
frame by using the synchronization index after removing the IdleInterval. This
model causes one frame radio delay.
One radio frame (10 ms) includes 20 slots. LTE_DL_DemuxSlot is used to
demultiplex one slot into seven or six OFDM symbols by removing cyclic prefix.
There are seven OFDM symbols for Normal Cyclic Prefix and six OFDM
symbols for Extended Cyclic Prefix.
The LTE_OFDM_Demodulator first transfers input time domain signals into
frequency domain signals using an FFT procedure. The demodulated signals
are then generated by removing NULL subcarriers and exchanging plus
frequency subcarriers and minus frequency subcarriers.
The demodulated signals are input into the LTE_DL_ChEstimator to obtain a
channel impulse response (CIR) for each active subcarriers.
LTE_DL_ChEstimator works slot by slot. The LTE_DL_ChEstimator uses the
first reference symbols and the second reference symbols if available to obtain
the real CIRs for positions of reference symbols. Then, the CIRs of other
positions (except positions of reference symbols) are obtained by interpolating
the CIRs of positions of the reference symbols. After acquiring the CIR of each
active subcarrier in each of the OFDM symbols, the frequency domain equalizer
(one tap) or channel compensator can be used. The demodulated OFDM symbol
can be acquired from this frequency domain equalizer.
LTE_DL_DemuxOFDMSym demultiplexes the demodulated OFDM symbols (in one radio
frame) into P-SCH, S-SCH, P-BCH, PDCCH and six UEs mapping signals and outputs all
of these signals.

Notes/Equations
1. This model is used to achieve downlink radio frame synchronization and
estimate frequency offset.
2. LTE cell search scheme flow is as follows [3]:
1) 5 ms timing is identified using the P-SCH,
2) Radio timing and cell group ID is found from the S-SCH,
3) Full cell ID is found from the downlink reference symbols.
3. In our library, LTE downlink frame synchronization and frequency offset
estimation is achieved by P-SCH symbol.
5-35
Each 10 ms radio frame consists of 20 slots of length 0.5 ms, numbered from 0
to 19. P-SCH is placed in the last OFDM symbol of the first and 10th slot (see
Figure 5-7) [3]. In frequency domain, P-SCH occupies 1.08 MHz (72
subcarriers), and is transmitted only in the central part of the overall
transmission band[1][2].
Figure 5-7. P-SCH is Placed in the Last and S-SCH in the Second Last OFDM
Symbol of the First and 10th Slot
4. Assuming the maximum cell radius = 30Km, then the maximum time
uncertainty is 100 µs. So the inherent searching window is set to 100 µs in this
model. When using LTE_DL_TimeFreqSync to synchronize arbitrary LTE
signal, make sure the beginning of LTE radio frame lies in the first 100 µs part.
5. Actually, using the P-SCH can only identify the 5 ms timing because there are 2
P-SCH symbols in one radio frame. The radio frame timing should be found by
the S-SCH in cell search step 2. However, in the ADS LTE library, the
maximum time uncertainty is 100 µs is assumed, so the 5 ms timing is identical
to radio frame timing.

Notes/Equations
1. This model de-maps uniform QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM to bits used for
channel decoding. When MappingType equals to 0, QPSK demapper is used.
When MappingType equals to 1, 16QAM demapper is used. When MappingType
equals to 2, 64QAM demapper is used.
2. Each firing
• The input pin consumes 1 token each firing;
5-37
• 2 tokens for QPSK, 4 tokens for 16QAM, or 6 tokens for 64QAM are
generated at pin output each firing.
3. Decision equations:
• If MappingType is 2 input is multiplied by sqrt(42) and I is the real part of
product and Q is the imaginary part, the decision equations for 64QAM are:
b0 = 2.0-|b1|; b1 = 4 - |Q|; b2 = -Q; b3 = 2.0-|b4|; b4 = 4 - |I|; b5 = -I.
product and Q is the imaginary part, the decision equations for 16QAM are:
b0 = 2.0-|b1|; b1 = -Q; b2 = 2.0-|b3|; b3 = -I.
product and Q is the imaginary part, the decision equations for QPSK are:
b0 = -Q; b1 = -I.
4. Based on the above calculations, let any one of decision bits equal b:
• when DecoderType is set to Hard, if b < 0, -1.0 is output, otherwise 1.0 is
output.
• when DecoderType is set to Soft, if b < -1.0, -1.0 is output; if b > 1.0, 1.0 is
output, otherwise, b is output directly.

2. LTE_UL_TimeFreqSync component is for timing and frequency
synchronization by using RACH time domain signal or Reference Signal
SC-FDMA symbol and outputs synchronization index and estimated frequency
offset. Both synchronization index and estimated frequency offset are input to
LTE_UL_DemuxFrame.
First, LTE_UL_DemuxFrame compensates frequency offset by using the
frame radio delay.
One radio frame (10 ms) includes 20 slots. LTE_UL_DemuxSlot is used to
demultiplex one slot into seven or six SC-FDMA symbols by removing cyclic
prefix. There are 7 SC-FDMA symbols for Normal Cyclic Prefix and 6
SC-FDMA symbols for Extended Cyclic Prefix.
First, LTE_SCFDMA_Demodulator transfers input time domain signals into
frequency domain signal by FFT procedure (LTE_FFT). Then, the demodulated
5-60
signals are generated by removing NULL subcarriers and exchanging plus
frequency subcarriers and minus frequency subcarriers. After
LTE_SCFDMA_Demapper, the demodulated signals in the active resource
blocks (determined by PRB_Bitmaps parameter) are output.
The demodulated signals are input to LTE_UL_ChEstimator to get channel
impulse response (CIR) for each active subcarriers corresponding to resource
blocks. LTE_UL_ChEstimator works slot by slot. First, LTE_UL_ChEstimator
uses the reference signal to get the real CIRs for these active resource blocks.
After getting CIR of each active subcarrier in each SC-FDMA symbols, the
frequency domain equalizer (one tap) or channel compensator can be used. The
demodulated SC-FDMA symbol can be achieved by this frequency domain
equalizer.
LTE_UL_DemuxOFDMSym demultiplexes the demodulated SC-FDMA
symbols (in one radio frame) into RS and UEs mapping signals and output all
these signals. At last, the demodulated frequency domain signals are converted
into time domain after IDFT by LTE_UL_DFT.

LTE uplink transmissions are organized into radio frames. Each 10 ms radio
frame consists of 20 slots of length 0.5 ms, numbered from 0 to 19. A sub-frame
is defined as two consecutive slots (see Figure 5-15) [2].

3. This model multiplex control channels PDCCH, P-SCH, S-SCH, BCH, and data channels
UE1 to UE6 into one OFDM frame. If CyclicPrefix is set to Normal, the first slot contains 3
PDCCH symbols and 2 BCH symbols; and the second slot contains 2 BCH symbols.

4. The downlink P-SCH, S-SCH and BCH are transmitted only in the central part of the overall
transmission band of the cell. P-SCH, S-SCH and BCH structure are based on the constant
bandwidth of 1.25 MHz (72 subcarriers).
5. The downlink transmission scheme (OFDMA) is based on conventional OFDM using a
cyclic prefix, with a sub-carrier spacing ∆f = 15 kHz and a cyclic-prefix (CP) duration
T CP ≈ 4.7 ⁄ 16.7 µs (short/long CP). Assuming that a 10 ms radio frame is divided into 20
equally sized slots (of which, in case of TDD operation, a subset is allocated for downlink
transmission), this parameter set implies a slot duration Tslot = 0.5 ms. The basic
transmission parameters are then specified in more detail in Table 6-1.

1. This subnetwork generates 3GPP LTE uncoded downlink FDD/TDD baseband signal (up to
six users). The subnetwork includes LTE_DL_Src, which generates baseband 3GPP LTE
uncoded downlink source. The schematic for this subnetwork is shown in Figure 6-4.

LTE_DL_MuxOFDMSym component is used to multiplex UEs data mapping, P-SCH,
S-SCH, P-BCH, PDCCH and pilots into OFDM symbols following the downlink frame
structure in frequency domain. LTE_DL_OFDM_Modulator component implements
OFDM modulation following 3GPP LTE downlink OFDM parameters. LTE_DL_MuxSlot
is used to multiplex seven/six OFDM symbols by inserting cyclic prefix into one slot.
LTE_DL_MuxFrame multiplexes 20 slots into one radio frame (10 ms) and inserts idle
(time duration is IdleInterval) between two consecutive radio frames.
LTE_DL_SymWindow and LTE_DL_SpectrumShaping are to provide two kind of methods
for spectrum shaping function for downlink source. LTE_DL_SymWindow is used to do
time windowing function between two consecutive OFDM symbols.
LTE_DL_SpectrumShaping is to provide the spectrum shaping of downlink source by using
FIR filter.
2. Source functions are implemented as follows:
T f = 307200 × T s = 10 ms long and consists of 20 slots of length
T slot = 15360 × T s = 0.5 ms , numbered from 0 to 19, see Figure 6-5. A subframe is
defined as two consecutive slots where subframe i consists of slots 2i and 2i+1.
6-23
For FDD, 10 subframes are available for downlink transmission and 10

subframes are available for uplink transmissions in each 10ms interval. Uplink
and downlink transmission are separated in the frequency domain.

The downlink reference signal (RS) are always transmitted in the first OFDM symbol and
the last third symbol in one slot. The primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) and
secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) are transmitted in the last and second last
OFDM symbols in slot 0 (subframe 0) and slot 10 (subframe 5). Both P-SCH and S-SCH
occupy centeral 6 resource blcoks (RB, 72 subcarriers). The PDCCH always transmitted in
first three OFDM symbols in subframe 0 and 5. Other subframes do not transmit PDCCH in
current ADS LTE wireless library. P-BCH is always transmitted in subframe 0. P-BCH
occupies centeral 6 RBs (same as P-SCH and S-SCH) in spectrum. Sub-carriers from up to
four OFDM symbols are allocated to P-BCH. In the frame structure with the normal (short)
CP, the allocations appear in slot #0, symbols #3, #4 and slot #1, symbol #0, #1. In the frame
structure with the extended (long) CP, the allocations appear in slot #0, symbols #3 and slot
#1, symbol #0, #1, #2.
The transmitted UEs signal in each subframe is described by a resource grid of N DL BW

subcarriers and N symb OFDM symbols. The resource grid and structure is illustrated in
Figure 6-6. Each element in the resource grid is called a resource atom and each resource
atom corresponds to one complex-valued modulation symbol. Resource atoms not used for
transmission of a physical channel or a physical signal in a subframe shall be set to zero.

1. This subnetwork generates 3GPP LTE uncoded downlink FDD/TDD RF signal (up to six
users). The subnetwork includes LTE_DL_Src, which generates baseband 3GPP LTE
uncoded downlink source, and the RF_Modulator. The schematic for this subnetwork is
shown in Figure 6-9.
6-35
Figure 6-9. LTE_DL_Src_RF Schematic

2. The baseband uncoded downlink source schematic is shown in Figure 6-10. The
LTE_DL_MuxOFDMSym component is used to multiplex UEs data mapping, P-SCH,
S-SCH, P-BCH, PDCCH and pilots into OFDM symbols following the downlink frame
structure in frequency domain. The LTE_DL_OFDM_Modulator component implements
OFDM modulation following the 3GPP LTE downlink OFDM parameters.
LTE_DL_MuxSlot is used to multiplex seven/six OFDM symbols by inserting cyclic prefix
into one slot. LTE_DL_MuxFrame multiplexes 20 slots into one radio frame (10 ms) and
inserts idle (time duration is IdleInterval) between two consecutive radio frames.
LTE_DL_SpectrumShaping provides a method for spectrum shaping function for downlink
source. LTE_SymWindow is used to do time windowing function between two consecutive
OFDM symbols. LTE_DL_SpectrumShaping is to provide the spectrum shaping of
downlink source by using FIR filter.

3. Source functions are implemented as follows:
T f = 307200 × T s = 10 ms long and consists of 20 slots of length
T slot = 15360 × T s = 0.5 ms , numbered from 0 to 19, see Figure 6-11. A subframe is
defined as two consecutive slots where subframe i consists of slots 2i and 2i+1.
For FDD, 10 subframes are available for downlink transmission and 10
subframes are available for uplink transmissions in each 10ms interval. Uplink
and downlink transmission are separated in the frequency domain.
6-37

The downlink reference signal (RS) are always transmitted in the first OFDM symbol and
the last third symbol in one slot. The primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) and
secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) are transmitted in the last and second last
OFDM symbols in slot 0 (subframe 0) and slot 10 (subframe 5). Both P-SCH and S-SCH
occupy centeral 6 resource blcoks (RB, 72 subcarriers). For Normal CP and Extended CP,
the first three OFDM symbols are reserved for PDCCH in subframe 0 and 5. Other
subframes except 0 and 5 do not transmit PDCCH in current ADS 3GPP LTE wireless
library. P-BCH is always transmitted in subframe 0. P-BCH occupies centeral 6 RBs (same
as P-SCH and S-SCH) in spectrum. Sub-carriers from up to four OFDM symbols are
allocated to P-BCH. In the frame structure with the normal (short) CP, the allocations appear
in slot #0, symbols #3, #4 and slot #1, symbol #0, #1. In the frame structure with the
extended (long) CP, the allocations appear in slot #0, symbols #3 and slot #1, symbol #0, #1,
#2.
The transmitted UEs signal in each subframe is described by a resource grid of N DL BW

subcarriers and N symb OFDM symbols. The resource grid and structure is illustrated in
Figure 6-12. Each element in the resource grid is called a resource atom and each resource
atom corresponds to one complex-valued modulation symbol. Resource atoms not used for
transmission of a physical channel or a physical signal in a subframe shall be set to zero.

a subset is allocated for downlink transmission), this parameter set implies a
slot duration Tslot = 0.5 ms. The basic transmission parameters are then

P-SCH is generated by using ZC sequence. ZC sequence length is 63 and P-SCH sequence
length is 63 (including DC). Leave the remaining 9 subcarriers reserved. The root indices

S-SCH is based on M-sequence. Generate a set of 31 sequences obtained as
cyclic shifts of a single length 31 M-sequence generated from the primitive
polynomial x^5+x^2+1 over GF(2). Two short SSC codes selected from above

subcarriers: 31 length sequence + DC + 31 length sequence. Leave the
remaining 9 subcarriers reserved. BPSK mapping of binary sequence. See
R1-072727 Option A.
P-BCH is only transmitted in subframe 0. Sub-carriers from up to three OFDM symbols are
allocated to P-BCH. In the frame structure with the normal (short) CP, the allocations appear

number of transmit antenna are not included in the P-BCH transmission. P-BCH occupies
central 6 RBs. The mapping type of P-BCH is QPSK.
PDCCH signal is also QPSK mapping.

• ROut is the RF output source resistance.
• FCarrier is the RF output signal frequency.
• Power is used to set the modulator output RF power. This is true for an ideal
transmitted signal (no impairments added) or when small impairments are
added. If large impairments are added to the signal (using GainImbalance,
I_OriginOffset, and Q_OriginOffset parameters) the output RF power may be
different from the value of the Power parameter.
• MirrorSpectrum is used to mirror the RF_out signal spectrum about the
carrier. This is equivalent to conjugating the complex RF envelope voltage.
Depending on the configuration and number of mixers in an RF transmitter,
the RF output signal from hardware RF generators can be inverted. If such
an RF signal is desired, set this parameter to YES.
• GainImbalance, PhaseImbalance, I_OriginOffset, Q_OriginOffset, and
IQ_Rotation are used to add certain impairments to the ideal output RF
signal. Impairments are added in the order described here.
The unimpaired RF I and Q envelope voltages have gain and phase
imbalance applied. The RF is given by:
Φπ- 
RF ( t ) = A  V I ( t ) cos ( ωc t ) – gV Q ( t ) sin  ω c t + --------
180 
where A is a scaling factor based on the Power and ROut parameters

specified by the user, VI(t) is the in-phase RF envelope, VQ(t) is the
quadrature phase RF envelope, g is the gain imbalance:
GainImbalance
-----------------------------------------------

g = 10
and, φ (in degrees) is the phase imbalance.

Next, the signal VRF(t) is rotated by IQ_Rotation degrees. The I_OriginOffset
and Q_OriginOffset are then applied to the rotated signal. Note that the
amounts specified are percentages with respect to the output rms voltage.
The output rms voltage is given by sqrt(2×ROut×Power).

1. FFT algorithms are based on the fundamental principle of decomposing the
computation of the discrete Fourier transform of a sequence of length N into
successively smaller DFT. Many different algorithms are generated based on
the decomposing principle, all with comparable improvements in computational
speed.

2. LTE_FFT calculates the DFT or IDFT of a complex input using the fast Fourier
transform (FFT) algorithm. LTE_FFT reads InputSize (default 256) complex
samples, zero pads the data if necessary, then takes an FFT of length FFTSize
(default 256) where nputSize ≤ FFTSize .
Direction specifies a forward or inverse FFT. A single firing of LTE_FFT
consumes InputSize inputs and produces FFTSize outputs.

2. The main purpose of the random access procedure is to obtain uplink time
synchronization and to obtain access to the network. The physical layer random
access burst, illustrated in Figure 6-18, consists of a cyclic prefix of length T CP , a
preamble of length TPRE , and a guard time TGT during which nothing is
transmitted. The parameter values are listed in Tables 6-10 and depend on the
frame structure and the random access configuration. Higher layers control the
preamble format.

As a first step of access, the UE transmits a preamble in the random-access slots [1][2],
where one short segment is repeated several times. A Zadoff-Chu sequence [3] is proposed
in time-domain for the construction of the random-access preamble. The uth root
Zadoff-Chu sequence is defined by
where N ZC is the length of the Zadoff-Chu sequence. NZC is not defined in [1] yet.
NZC = 449 is assumed, and the preamble is repeated 2 times in the random access
slots. At the current stage, the cyclic shifts of the random-access preamble are
not supported.
3. The time-continuous random access signal s(t) is defined by
for . The location in the frequency domain is controlled by the

parameter K 0 , configured by higher layers. In the EEsof 3GPP LTE library, K0 is
set to be 0 at the current stage. The factor accounts for the difference
in subcarrier spacing between the random access preamble and uplink data
transmission, and the variable ϕ is a fixed offset determining the
frequency-domain location of the random access preamble within a resource
block. In the EEsof 3GPP LTE library, ϕ is set to be 0 at the current stage.

S(0,n)={1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,1}
Define S(k,n)=S(0,(n+k)mod N) where
N=31
k=1,2...30
S(k,n) is a cyclic shift(k shifts) of S(0,n)
Thus we have total N sequences including S(0,n)

m,v=0,1,2...N-1.

1. This model is used to perform symbol windowing on the LTE frame.
2. The symbol windowing is employed in order to smooth the transitions between
the consecutive OFDM symbols. As a result, the inter-channel interference can
be reduced. Figure 6-25 depicts the principle of the windowing function,
whereby an extended cyclic prefix is employed to cover an overlap of the
6-76
windowing functions for adjacent OFDM symbols. The length of the extended
cyclic prefix corresponds to the length of the transition period of the windowing
function, which itself is usually identical to the overlap (CyclicInterval) between
one OFDM symbol and the consecutive one.

number of resource blocks per SC-FDMA symbol occupied by UE, which equals

where NZC is the length of the Zadoff-Chu sequence. The NZC used to generate
the Zadoff-Chu sequence is determined as follows: Nzc is the prime which is
nearest m_OccupiedRBPerSym * 12.
3. The Zadoff-Chu sequence with length Nzc is exported from output pin GCL.
Another sequence with length OccupiedRBPerSym * 12 is also generated from
the Zadoff-Chu sequence with length Nzc as follows: if m_OccupiedRBPerSym *
12 <= Nzc, the last Nzc-m_OccupiedRBPerSym * 12 tokens of Zadoff-Chu
sequence are punctured; else if m_OccupiedRBPerSym * 12 >Nzc, the last
m_OccupiedRBPerSym * 12-Nzc tokens of Zadoff-Chu sequence are repeated.

consumed by input and m_OccupiedRBPerSym * 12 are exported by output;

wherein, m_OccupiedRBPerSym is the number of resource blocks per

2. m_OccupiedRBPerSym * 12 is the number of subcarriers occupied by UE, which
also determines the length of FFT. FFT algorithms are based on the
fundamental principle of decomposing the computation of the discrete Fourier
transform of a sequence of length N into successively smaller DFT. Many
different algorithms are generated based on the decomposing principle, all with
comparable improvements in computational speed.

presented by David Chu in 1972 [3] as:

purpose.
The Zadoff-Chu sequence has good properties, such as constant amplitude, flat
frequency domain response; ideal cyclic autocorrelation; optimal cyclic cross
correlation, =sqrt(1/ NG ).

LTE_UL_RS_Modulator, LTE_UL_SCFDMA_Modulator, LTE_UL_MuxSlot,
LTE_UL_MuxFrame, LTE_UL_HalfCarrierShift, LTE_SymWindow, and
LTE_SpectrumShaping. The LTE_RACH component is used to generate
non-synchronized RACH channel. The LTE_SCFDMA_Modulator component
implements uplink SC-FDMA modulation for PUSCH generation following
3GPP LTE uplink system parameters. LTE_UL_MuxSlot is used to multiplex
PUSCH and RS into one slot, LTE_UL_MuxSlot is also used to insert cyclic
prefix before every block within one slot. LTE_UL_MuxFrame is used to
multiplex RACH and PUSCH into one frame. LTE_UL_HalfCarrierShift is used
to make the baseband signal a half sampling frequency shift. LTE_SymWindow
and LTE_SpectrumShaping are to provide two methods for the spectrum
shaping function for the uplink source. LTE_SymWindow is used to perform a
time windowing function between two consecutive symbols.
LTE_SpectrumShaping is to provide the spectrum shaping of the uplink source
by using FIR filter.
2. The basic uplink transmission scheme is a single-carrier frequency division
receiver side. Frequency-domain generation of the signal, sometimes known as
DFT-spread OFDM, is assumed and illustrated in Figure 6-29. This allows for a
6-100
relatively high degree of commonality with the downlink OFDM scheme and
the same parameters; for example, clock frequency can be reused.

3. For uplink transmission scheme, the sub-carrier spacing is ∆f = 15 kHz.
Assuming that a 10 ms radio frame is divided into 20 equally sized slots (of
which, in case of TDD operation, a subset is allocated for downlink
transmission), this parameter set implies a slot duration Tslot = 0.5 ms. The
basic transmission parameters are then specified in more detail in Table 6-13.

5. Uplink reference-signal structure:
The uplink reference-signal is based on CAZAC sequence. CAZAC stands for
Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation. The earliest CAZAC is presented
by David Chu in 1972 [3] as:
 k(k + 1) 

as a prime number. It has good properties, such as constant amplitude, flat
frequency domain response; ideal cyclic auto-correlation; optimal cyclic cross
Each uplink reference signal is transmitted across a distinct set of sub-carriers.
This solution achieves signal orthogonality in the frequency domain.
6. RACH channel.
The physical layer random access burst, illustrated in Figure 6-31, consists of a
cyclic prefix of length T CP , a preamble of length T PRE , and a guard time T GT
during which nothing is transmitted. The parameter values are listed in
Table 6-16 and depend on the frame structure and the random access
configuration. Higher layers control the preamble format.

Table 6-16. .Random-Access Parameters
For the alternative frame structure, the start of the random access burst
depends on the burst length configured. For the normal burst length, the burst
will start TRA before the end of the UpPTS at the UE. For the extended burst
length, the start of the random access burst will be aligned with the start of
uplink subframe 1.
The random access preambles are generated from Zadoff-Chu sequences with
zero correlation zone, ZC-ZCZ, generated from one or several root Zadoff-Chu
sequences. The network configures the set of preamble sequences that the UE is

6. Uplink reference-signal structure:

The uplink reference-signal is based on CAZAC sequence. CAZAC means
constant amplitude zero auto-correlation. The earliest CAZAC is presented by
David Chu in 1972 [3] as:
 k(k + 1) 
s u ( k ) = exp  – j2πu --------------------- , k = 0…N G – 1, and u = 1…N G – 1
 2N G 
where u denotes the sequence-index. The sequence-length NG should be chosen

as a prime number. It has good properties, such as constant amplitude, flat
frequency domain response; ideal cyclic auto-correlation; optimal cyclic cross
Each uplink reference signal is transmitted across a distinct set of sub-carriers.
This solution achieves signal orthogonality in the frequency domain.

The physical layer random access burst, illustrated in Figure 6-36, consists of a
cyclic prefix of length T CP , a preamble of length T PRE , and a guard time T GT
during which nothing is transmitted. The parameter values are listed in
Table 6-21 and depend on the frame structure and the random access
configuration. Higher layers control the preamble format.

For the alternative frame structure, the start of the random access burst
depends on the burst length configured. For the normal burst length, the burst
shall start TRA before the end of the UpPTS at the UE. For the extended burst
length, the start of the random access burst shall be aligned with the start of
uplink subframe 1.
The random access preambles are generated from Zadoff-Chu sequences with
zero correlation zone, ZC-ZCZ, generated from one or several root Zadoff-Chu
sequences. The network configures the set of preamble sequences the UE is
allowed to use.

where the length NZC of the Zadoff-Chu sequence is given in Table 6-22. From

• ROut is the RF output source resistance.
• FCarrier is the RF output signal frequency.
• Power is used to set the modulator output RF power. This is true for an ideal
transmitted signal (no impairments added) or when small impairments are
added. If large impairments are added to the signal (using GainImbalance,
I_OriginOffset, and Q_OriginOffset parameters) the output RF power may be
different from the value of the Power parameter.
• MirrorSpectrum is used to mirror the RF_out signal spectrum about the
carrier. This is equivalent to conjugating the complex RF envelope voltage.
Depending on the configuration and number of mixers in an RF transmitter,
the RF output signal from hardware RF generators can be inverted. If such
an RF signal is desired, set this parameter to YES.
• GainImbalance, PhaseImbalance, I_OriginOffset, Q_OriginOffset, and
IQ_Rotation are used to add certain impairments to the ideal output RF
signal. Impairments are added in the order described here.
The unimpaired RF I and Q envelope voltages have gain and phase
imbalance applied. The RF is given by:
Φπ- 
V RF ( t ) = A  V I ( t ) cos ( ω c t ) – gV Q ( t ) sin  ω c t + --------
  180 
where A is a scaling factor based on the Power and ROut parameters

and, φ (in degrees) is the phase imbalance.

Next, the signal VRF(t) is rotated by IQ_Rotation degrees. The I_OriginOffset
