Semantics description

Subframe Type

M

ENUMERATED(MBSFN,non-MBSFN, …)

Indicates what type of non-regular subframes the Reserved Subframe Pattern refers to (e.g. MBSFN).

Reserved Subframe Pattern

M

BIT STRING (10..160)

Each position in the bitmap represents a subframe. Value ‘0’ indicates "regular subframe". Value ‘1’ indicates "reserved subframe". For MBSFN subframes, the exception refers only to the non-control region of the subframe. The bit string may span across multiple contiguous subframes. The first position of the Subframe Configuration IE corresponds to the receiving node’s subframe 0 in a receiving node’s radio frame where SFN = Activation SFN. The IE is ignored if received by the eNB.

MBSFN Control Region Length

O

INTEGER(0..3)

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