lteDuplexingInfo

Duplexing information

Syntax

info = lteDuplexingInfo(enb)

Description

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

Examples

Get TDD Downlink Frame Duplexing Information

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

More About

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.
