8.11.3 PBCH

The receiver characteristics of the PBCH are determined by the probability of miss-detection of the PBCH for single decoding interval (Pm-bch-s) and the probability of miss-detection of the PBCH for multiple decoding intervals (Pm-bch-m), which are defined as

The probability of miss-detection of the PBCH for single decoding interval (Pm-bch-s) is calculated under assumption of single PBCH TTI interval decoding. A_s is the number of correctly decoded MIB PDUs and B_s is the number of transmitted MIB PDUs (redundancy versions for the same MIB are not counted separately).

The probability of miss-detection of the PBCH for multiple decoding intervals (Pm-bch-m) is calculated over multiple PBCH TTI intervals under assumption of independent PBCH decoding over these intervals. A_m is the number of PBCH decoding intervals with at least one correctly decoded MIB PDU and B_m is the total number of PBCH decoding intervals. A multiple PBCH decoding interval has 1120 ms duration consisting of continuous PBCH TTIs during the test.
