Below are the common test parameters to be configured for E-UTRA link.

Table D.1-1: Common Test Parameters (FDD)

Parameter

Inter-TTI Distance

1

Number of HARQ processes

Processes

8

For FDD, 8 HARQ processes in the DL, as specified in TS 36.213 [10] clause 7. All 8 HARQ processes are used.

Scheduling of retransmissions

1. Retransmissions use the same Transport Block Size (TBS) as the initial transmission.

2. HARQ processes are scheduled consecutively, independent of the fact, whether retransmissions (for negatively acknowledged HARQ processes) or new transmissions (for positively acknowledged HARQ processes) occur.

Maximum number of HARQ transmission

4

It is always 4 for FDD, as specified in TS 36.213 [10] clause 8

Redundancy version coding sequence

{0,1,2,3} for QPSK

Number of OFDM symbols for PDCCH

OFDM symbols

3 for 5 MHz bandwidths,

2 for 10 MHz, 20MHz

The PCFICH carries information about the number of OFDM symbols used for transmission of PDCCHs in a subframe, as specified in TS 36.211 [8] clause 6.7

Cyclic Prefix

Normal

CP consist of the following physical resource blocks (RBs) parameters: 12 consecutive subcarriers at a 15 kHz spacing and 7 OFDM symbols, as specified in TS 36.211 [8] clause 6.2.3

Cell ID

0 (Note 1)

The Cell ID is uniquely defined by a number in the range of 0 to 503, representing the physical-layer cell identity, as specified in TS 36.211 [8] clause 6.11.

Number of HARQ processes

Processes

7

For TDD, 7 HARQ processes in the DL, as specified in TS 36.213 [10] clause 7.
All 7 HARQ processes are used.

Scheduling of retransmissions

1. Retransmissions use the same Transport Block Size (TBS) as the initial transmission.

2. HARQ processes are scheduled consecutively, independent of the fact, whether retransmissions (for negatively acknowledged HARQ processes) or new transmissions (for positively acknowledged HARQ processes) occur.

3. In case when the initial transmission and the retransmissions are scheduled in subframes with a different NPRB (in terms of TS 36.213 [10] subclause 7.1.7) according to TS 36.213 [10] subclause 7.1.7.2 and the appropriate modulation is used.

NOTE 2: as specified in Table 4.2-1 in TS 36.211 [8].

NOTE 3: For CA tests, Cell ID = 0 applies only to P-Cell. For (n)th S-Cell, Cell ID = n is used.
