Simulation: Exploring LTE physical layer behavior

Simulation: Exploring LTE physical layer behavior

Now, let's simulate the same example using a 1.4 MHz bandwidth. On the right side, you can see we are considering FKD duplex mode, and here frequency is on the Y-axis, time is on the X-axis. Earlier, we understood how the synchronization signals and the broadcast channels are positioned. Now, let's take a closer look at other signals and channels, and how they're allocated within time and frequency grid. In the previous slide, we learned that there are different signals and channels, each serving a specific function, and that resources must be appropriately allocated to them. So let's now consider a test model, a model used by 3GPP for base station conformance testing. And this model helps define how many resources needs to be allocated for various signals and channels. also check if any boosting of the reference signals is being used. So in this case we are using a model 1.1 and we'll observe how the resources are distributed within this particular setup. Here we can see the PCFI CH…
