8.12.3 Demodulation of NPBCH
The receiver characteristics of the NPBCH are determined by the probability of miss-detection of the NPBCH (Pm-bch), which is defined as
For the performance with single a NPBCH TTI decoding, A is the number of correctly decoded MIB-NB PDUs and B is the number of transmitted MIB-NB PDUs.
For the performance with multiple NPBCH TTIs decoding, A is the number of 5120ms durations consisting of contiguous NPBCH TTIs where there is at least one correctly decoded MIB-NB PDU, and B is the number of 5120ms durations consisting of contiguous NPBCH TTIs during the test.
