5.3.2A Layer mapping

36.2113GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Physical channels and modulationRelease 17TS

The complex-valued modulation symbols for each of the codewords to be transmitted are mapped onto one or two layers. Complex-valued modulation symbols for codeword shall be mapped onto the layers , where is the number of layers and is the number of modulation symbols per layer.

5.3.2A.1 Layer mapping for transmission on a single antenna port

For transmission on a single antenna port, a single layer is used, , and the mapping is defined by

with .

5.3.2A.2 Layer mapping for spatial multiplexing

For spatial multiplexing, the layer mapping shall be done according to Table 5.3.2A.2-1. The number of layers is less than or equal to the number of antenna ports used for transmission of the physical uplink shared channel.
The case of a single codeword mapped to multiple layers is only applicable when the number of antenna ports used for PUSCH is four, except for slot-PUSCH and subslot-PUSCH transmission where a single codeword is used irrespective of the number of layers.
