Downlink Physical Channels
NPBCH, NPDCCH, and NPDSCH symbol generation, decoding, and index generation
Physical channels correspond to sets of time-frequency resources that carry transport channel data and control information. LTE Toolbox™ functions support these narrowband physical channels.
| Physical Channel | Information Carried | 
|---|---|
| Narrowband physical broadcast channel (NPBCH) | NB-IoT master information block (MIB) | 
| Narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) | Downlink control information (DCI) | 
| Narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) | Broadcast control channel (BCCH) and system information |
