Duplexing information

Description

example

info = lteDuplexingInfo(enb) returns a structure, info, providing information on the duplexing arrangement. For more information, see Duplex Mode Configuration.

Examples

Get the number of downlink OFDM symbols in each subframe for a TDD (configuration 0) frame.

A Configuration 0 TDD frame is organized as follows:

  • Only subframes 0, 1, 5, and 6 will contain a non-zero number of DL OFDM symbols.

  • Subframe 0 and 5 are designated for DL.

  • Subframes 1 and 6 are special subframes.

  • Subframes 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are designated for UL.

Initialize a cell-wide configuration structure for RMC R.0 and a Configuration 0 TDD frame.

enb = lteRMCDL('R.0');
enb.DuplexMode = 'TDD';
enb.SSC = 0;
enb.TDDConfig = 0;

Loop through all subframes in a frame.

for n = 0:9
    enb.NSubframe = n;
    duplexInfo = lteDuplexingInfo(enb);
    fprintf('DL symbols in subframe %d: %d\n',n,duplexInfo.NSymbolsDL)
end
DL symbols in subframe 0: 14
DL symbols in subframe 1: 3
DL symbols in subframe 2: 0
DL symbols in subframe 3: 0
DL symbols in subframe 4: 0
DL symbols in subframe 5: 14
DL symbols in subframe 6: 3
DL symbols in subframe 7: 0
DL symbols in subframe 8: 0
DL symbols in subframe 9: 0

Duplex Mode Configuration

For FDD duplex mode:

  • If CyclicPrefixUL is present, the link direction is assumed to be uplink.

  • If CyclicPrefixUL is not present, the link direction is assumed to be downlink, and cyclic prefix is set according to CyclicPrefix.

    • If CyclicPrefix is also not present, the default 'Normal' cyclic prefix is used.

For TDD duplex mode:

  • The subframe type can be uplink, downlink, or special. TDDConfig and NSubframe identify the subframe type as specified in TS 36.211 [1], Table 4.2-2.

    • For uplink or downlink subframes, CyclicPrefixUL or CyclicPrefix, respectively, indicate the relevant cyclic prefix setting.

    • For special subframes, the lteDuplexingInfo function uses SSC and CyclicPrefix to identify the special subframe configuration, as specified in TS 36.211 [1], Table 4.2-1.
