Activation SFN

M

INTEGER (0..1023)

Indicates from which SFN of the receiving node the resource allocation is valid.

Protected Resource List

1

The protected resource pattern is continuously repeated, and it is valid until stated otherwise or until replaced by a new pattern. The pattern does not apply in reserved subframes.

YES

>Protected Resource List Item

1..<maxnoofProtectedResourcePatterns>

Each item describes one transmission pattern. A pattern may comprise several control signals.

–

>>Resource Type

M

ENUMERATED (downlinknonCRS,CRS,uplink…)

Indicates whether the protected resource is E-UTRA DL non-CRS, E-UTRA CRS or E-UTRA UL.

–

>>Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint

M

BIT STRING (84, …)

The bitmap of REs occupied by the protected signal within one PRB. Each position in the bitmap represents an RE in one PRB; value "0" indicates "resource not protected", value "1" indicates "resource protected". The first bit of the string corresponds to the RE with the smallest time and frequency index in the PRB, where the indexing first goes into the frequency domain. The length of the bit string equals the product of and the length of PRB in time dimension, measured in REs. is defined in TS 36.211 [10]. The intra-PRB pattern consisting of all "1"s is equivalent to PRB-level granularity.

>>Protected Footprint Frequency Pattern

M

BIT STRING(6..110, …)

The bit string indicates in which PRBs inside carrier bandwidth the Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint applies. How often in time dimension this frequency pattern applies, depends on time periodicity of Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint. The first bit of the bit string corresponds to the PRB occupying the lowest subcarrier frequencies of the carrier bandwidth, where the indexing first goes into the frequency domain. Each position in the string represents a PRB; value "0" indicates " Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint does not appear in PRB", value "1" indicates "Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint appears in PRB". The length of the bit string equals the number of PRBs in the carrier bandwidth.

–

>>Protected Footprint Time Pattern

M

The description of time periodicity of the Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint.

>>>Protected Footprint Time-periodicity

M

INTEGER(1..320, …)

Periodicity with which the periodic Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint repeats in time-dimension (1= every PRB (i.e. slot), 2=every other PRB (i.e. slot) etc.

–

>>>Protected Footprint Start Time

M

INTEGER(1..20, …)

The time-position of the PRB inside the frame in which the periodic Intra-PRB Protected Resource Footprint appears for the first time. The value "1" corresponds to the receiving node’s slot 0 in subframe 0 in the receiving node’s radio frame where SFN = Activation SFN.

–

MBSFN Control Region Length

O

INTEGER(0..3)

Length of control region in MBSFN subframes. Expressed in REs, in the time dimension.

PDCCH Region Length

M

INTEGER(1..3)

Length of PDCCH region in regular subframes. Expressed in REs, in the time dimension.

maxnoofProtectedResourcePatterns

Maximum no. protected resource patterns. Value is 16.
