Syntax

tm = lteTestModel(tmn,bw)
tm = lteTestModel(tmn,bw,ncellid,duplexmode)
tm = lteTestModel(tmcfg)

Description

tm = lteTestModel(tmn,bw) returns the E-UTRA test model (E-TM) configuration structure for given test model number and bandwidth. The output structure, tm, contains the configuration parameters required to generate a given downlink E-TM waveform using the generator tool, lteTestModelTool. The field names and default values align with those defined in TS 36.141 [1], Section 6.1.

The PDSCH is a substructure relating to the physical channel configuration and contains the fields NLayers, TxScheme, and Modulation.

example

tm = lteTestModel(tmn,bw,ncellid,duplexmode) controls the configuration of the physical cell identity, ncellid, and duplex mode, duplexmode.

tm = lteTestModel(tmcfg) returns tm, a configuration structure for the test model partially (or wholly) defined by the input structure tmcfg. The input structure tmcfg can define any (or all) of the parameters or substructure parameters and the output structure tm retains the defined parameters. The undefined fields are given appropriate default values.

The tm structure can be used with the E-TM generator tool to generate a waveform.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Test model number, specified as a character vector or string scalar. Use double quotes for string. See TS 36.141 [1] for information on the test models.

Data Types: char | string

Channel bandwidth, specified as a character vector or string scalar. Use double quotes for string. You can set the nonstandard bandwidths, '9RB', '11RB', '27RB', '45RB', '64RB', and '91RB', only when tmn is '1.1'. These nonstandard bandwidths specify custom test models.

Data Types: char | string

Physical layer cell identity, specified as an integer from 0 to 503. If not specified, defaults to 1 for standard bandwidths and 10 for non-standard bandwidths.

Data Types: double

Duplex mode, specified as 'FDD' or 'TDD'.

Data Types: char | string

Test model configuration, specified as a scalar structure. Refer to the output tm for structure fields. Define any or all listed parameters or substructure parameters in the input structure, tmcfg. The output structure, tm, retains the defined parameters and appropriate defaults are assigned for undefined fields.
