The throughput values defined in the measurement channels specified in Annex A, are calculated and are valid per datastream (codeword). For multi-stream (more than one codeword) transmissions, the throughput referenced in the minimum requirements is the sum of throughputs of all datastreams (codewords).
The UE category entry in the definition of the reference measurement channel in Annex A is only informative and reveals the UE categories, which can support the corresponding measurement channel. Whether the measurement channel is used for testing a certain UE category or not is specified in the individual minimum requirements.
The measurement channels in the following subclauses are defined to derive the requirements in clause 6 (Transmitter Characteristics) and clause 7 (Receiver Characteristics). The measurement channels represent example configurations of physical channels for different data rates.
The UL reference measurement channels comprise transmission of PUSCH and Demodulation Reference signals only. The following conditions apply:
- 1 HARQ transmission
- Cyclic Prefix normal
- PUSCH hopping off
- Link adaptation off
- Demodulation Reference signal as per TS 36.211 [4] subclause 5.5.2.1.2.
Where ACK/NACK is transmitted, it is assumed to be multiplexed on PUSCH as per TS 36.212 [5] subclause 5.2.2.6.
- ACK/NACK 1 bit
- ACK/NACK mapping adjacent to Demodulation Reference symbol
- ACK/NACK resources punctured into data
- Max number of resources for ACK/NACK: 4 SC-FDMA symbols per subframe
- No CQI transmitted, no RI transmitted
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 section 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 section 5.1.2 of TS 36.212 [5].
c) For RMC-s, which at the nominal target coding rate do not cover all the possible UE categories for the given modulation, reduce the target coding rate gradually (within the same modulation), until the maximal possible number of UE categories is covered.
3. If there is more than one A that minimises the equation above, then the larger value is chosen per default and the chosen code rate should not exceed 0.93.
In Table A.2.1.3-1 to A.2.1.3-1K are listed the UL reference measurement channels specified in annexes A.2.2 and A.2.3 of this release of TS 36.101. This table is informative and serves only to a better overview. The reference for the concrete reference measurement channels and corresponding implementation’s parameters as to be used for requirements are annexes A.2.2 and A.2.3 as appropriate.
