A.3 DL reference measurement channels for E-UTRA

38.521-33GPPNRPart 3: Range 1 and Range 2 Interworking operation with other radiosRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

A.3.1 General

The number of available channel bits varies across the sub-frames due to PBCH and PSS/SSS overhead. The payload size per sub-frame is varied in order to keep the code rate constant throughout a frame.

Unless otherwise stated, no user data is scheduled on subframes #5 in order to facilitate the transmission of system information blocks (SIB).

The algorithm for determining the payload size A is as follows; given a desired coding rate R and radio block allocation NRB

1. Calculate the number of channel bits Nch that can be transmitted during the first transmission of a given sub-frame.

2. Find A such that the resulting coding rate is as close to R as possible, that is,

,

subject to

a) A is a valid TB size according to clause 7.1.7 of TS 36.213 [6] assuming an allocation of NRB resource blocks.

b) C is the number of Code Blocks calculated according to clause 5.1.2 of TS 36.212 [5].

3. If there is more than one A that minimizes the equation above, then the larger value is chosen per default and the chosen code rate should not exceed 0.93.

4. For TDD, the measurement channel is based on DL/UL configuration ratio of 3DL+DwPTS (10 OFDM symbol SSF7): 1UL.
