4 General description of LTE Layer 1
4.1 Relation to other layers
4.1.1 General Protocol Architecture The radio interface described in this specification covers the interface between the User Equipment (UE) and the network. The radio interface is composed of the Layer 1, 2 and 3. The TS 36.200 series describes the Layer 1 (Physical Layer) specifications. Layers 2 and 3 are described in the 36.300 series.

Figure 1: Radio interface protocol architecture around the physical layer
Figure 1 shows the E-UTRA radio interface protocol architecture around the physical layer (Layer 1). The physical layer interfaces the Medium Access Control (MAC) sub-layer of Layer 2 and the Radio Resource Control (RRC) Layer of Layer 3. The circles between different layer/sub-layers indicate Service Access Points (SAPs). The physical layer offers a transport channel to MAC. The transport channel is characterized by how the information is transferred over the radio interface. MAC offers different logical channels to the Radio Link Control (RLC) sub-layer of Layer 2. A logical channel is characterized by the type of information transferred.
4.1.2 Service provided to higher layers The physical layer offers data transport services to higher layers. The access to these services is through the use of a transport channel via the MAC sub-layer. The physical layer is expected to perform the following functions in order to provide the data transport service:
- Error detection on the transport channel and indication to higher layers
- FEC encoding/decoding of the transport channel
- Hybrid ARQ soft-combining
- Rate matching of the coded transport channel to physical channels
- Mapping of the coded transport channel onto physical channels
- Power weighting of physical channels
- Modulation and demodulation of physical channels
- Frequency and time synchronisation
- Radio characteristics measurements and indication to higher layers
- Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna processing
- Transmit Diversity (TX diversity)
- Beamforming
- RF processing. (Note: RF processing aspects are specified in the TS 36.100 series)
4.2 General description of Layer 1
4.2.1 Multiple Access The multiple access scheme for the LTE physical layer is based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) in the downlink, and on Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) with a cyclic prefix in the uplink. To support transmission in paired and unpaired spectrum, two duplex modes
3GPP
3GPP TS 36.201 V8.1.0 (2007-11)8Release 8T
are supported: Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), supporting full duplex and half duplex operation, and Time Division Duplex (TDD).
The Layer 1 is defined in a bandwidth agnostic way based on resource blocks, allowing the LTE Layer 1 to adapt to various spectrum allocations. A resource block spans either 12 sub-carriers with a sub-carrier bandwidth of 15kHz or 24 sub-carriers with a sub-carrier bandwidth of 7.5kHz each over a slot duration of 0.5ms.
The radio frame structure type 1 is used for FDD (for both full duplex and half duplex operation) and has a duration of 10ms and consists of 20 slots with a slot duration of 0.5ms. Two adjacent slots form one sub-frame of length 1ms. The radio frame structure type 2 is used for TDD and consists of two half-frames with a duration of 5ms each and containing each 8 slots of length 0.5ms and three special fields (DwPTS, GP and UpPTS) which have configurable individual lengths and a total length of 1ms. A sub-frame consists of two adjacent slots, except for sub-frames 1 and 6, which consist of DwPTS, GP and UpPTS. Both 5ms and 10ms switch-point periodicity are supported. Further details on the LTE frame structure are specified in [2].
To support a Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS), LTE offers the possibility to transmit Multicast/Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN), where a time-synchronized common waveform is transmitted from multiple cells for a given duration. MBSFN transmission enables highly efficient MBMS, allowing for over-the-air combining of multi-cell transmissions in the UE, where the cyclic prefix is utilized to cover the difference in the propagation delays, which makes the MBSFN transmission appear to the UE as a transmission from a single large cell. Transmission on a dedicated carrier for MBSFN with the possibility to use a longer CP with a sub-carrier bandwidth of 7.5kHz is supported as well as transmission of MBSFN on a carrier with both MBMS transmissions and point-to-point transmissions using time division multiplexing.
Transmission with multiple input and multiple output antennas (MIMO) are supported with configurations in the downlink with two or four transmit antennas and two or four receive antennas, which allow for multi-layer transmissions with up to four streams. Multi-user MIMO i.e. allocation of different streams to different users is supported in both UL and DL.
4.2.2 Physical channels and modulation The physical channels defined in the downlink are:
• the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH),
• the Physical Multicast Channel (PMCH),
• the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH),
• the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH),
• the Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH)
• and the Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel (PHICH).
The physical channels defined in the uplink are:
• the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH),
• the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH),
• and the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).
In addition, signals are defined as reference signals, primary and secondary synchronization signals.
The modulation schemes supported in the downlink and uplink are QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM.
4.2.3 Channel coding and interleaving The channel coding scheme for transport blocks in LTE is Turbo Coding with a coding rate of R=1/3, two 8-state constituent encoders and a contention-free quadratic permutation polynomial (QPP) turbo code internal interleaver. Trellis termination is used for the turbo coding. Before the turbo coding, transport blocks are segmented into byte aligned segments with a maximum information block size of 6144 bits. Error detection is supported by the use of 24 bit CRC. Further channel coding schemes for BCH and control information are specified in [3].

4.2.4 Physical layer procedures There are several Physical layer procedures involved with LTE operation. Such procedures covered by the physical layer are;
- Cell search
- Power control
- Uplink synchronisation and Uplink timing control
- Random access related procedures
- HARQ related procedures
Through the control of physical layer resources in the frequency domain as well as in the time and power domain, implicit support of interference coordination is provided in LTE.
4.2.5 Physical layer measurements Radio characteristics are measured by the UE and the eNode-B and reported to higher layers in the network. These include, e.g. measurements for intra- and inter-frequency handover, inter RAT handover, timing measurements and measurements for RRM.
Measurements for inter-RAT handover are defined in support of handover to GSM, UTRA FDD and UTRA TDD.
5 Document structure of LTE physical layer specification
5.1 Overview The physical layer specification consists of a general document (TS 36.201), and four documents (TS 36.211 through 36.214). The relation between the physical layer specifications in the context of the higher layers is shown in Figure 2.

4 Frame structure Throughout this specification, unless otherwise noted, the size of various fields in the time domain is expressed as a number of time units ( )2048150001s ×=T seconds.
Downlink and uplink transmissions are organized into radio frames with ms 10307200 sf =×= TT duration. Two radio frame structures are supported:
- Type 1, applicable to FDD,
- Type 2, applicable to TDD.
4.1 Frame structure type 1 Frame structure type 1 is applicable to both full duplex and half duplex FDD. Each radio frame is
ms 10307200 sf =⋅= TT long and consists of 20 slots of length ms 5.0T15360 sslot =⋅=T , numbered from 0 to 19. A subframe is defined as two consecutive slots where subframe i consists of slots i2 and 12 +i .
For FDD, 10 subframes are available for downlink transmission and 10 subframes are available for uplink transmissions in each 10 ms interval. Uplink and downlink transmissions are separated in the frequency domain. In half-duplex FDD operation, the UE cannot transmit and receive at the same time while there are no such restrictions in full-duplex FDD.
Figure 4.1-1: Frame structure type 1.
4.2 Frame structure type 2 Frame structure type 2 is applicable to TDD. Each radio frame of length ms 10307200 sf =⋅= TT consists of two half-frames of length fT = ms 5153600 s =⋅T each. Each half-frame consists of eight slots of length
ms 5.015360 sslot =⋅= TT and three special fields, DwPTS, GP, and UpPTS. The length of DwPTS and UpPTS is given by Table 4.2-1 subject to the total length of DwPTS, GP and UpPTS being equal to ms 107203 s =⋅T . Subframe 1 in all
3GPP
3GPP TS 36.211 V8.2.0 (2008-03)10Release 8
configurations and subframe 6 in configurations 0, 1, 2 and 6 in Table 4.2-2 consists of DwPTS, GP and UpPTS. All other subframes are defined as two slots where subframe i consists of slots i2 and 12 +i .
Subframes 0 and 5 and DwPTS are always reserved for downlink transmission.
The supported uplink-downlink allocations are listed in Table 4.2-2 where, for each subframe in a radio frame, “D” denotes the subframe is reserved for downlink transmissions, “U” denotes the subframe is reserved for uplink transmissions and “S” denotes a special subframe with the three fields DwPTS, GP and UpPTS. Both 5 ms and 10 ms switch-point periodicity is supported.
In case of 5 ms switch-point periodicity, UpPTS and subframes 2 and 7 are reserved for uplink transmission.
In case of 10 ms switch-point periodicity, DwPTS exist in both half-frames while GP and UpPTS only exist in the first half-frame and DwPTS in the second half-frame has a length equal to ms 107203 s =T . UpPTS and subframe 2 are reserved for uplink transmission and subframes 7 to 9 are reserved for downlink transmission.

5.1 Overview The smallest resource unit for uplink transmissions is denoted a resource element and is defined in section 5.2.2.
5.1.1 Physical channels An uplink physical channel corresponds to a set of resource elements carrying information originating from higher layers and is the interface defined between 36.212 and 36.211. The following uplink physical channels are defined:
- Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH
- Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH
- Physical Random Access Channel, PRACH
5.1.2 Physical signals An uplink physical signal is used by the physical layer but does not carry information originating from higher layers. The following uplink physical signals are defined:
- Reference signal
5.2 Slot structure and physical resources
5.2.1 Resource grid
The transmitted signal in each slot is described by a resource grid of RBsc
ULRB NN subcarriers and UL
symbN SC-FDMA
symbols. The resource grid is illustrated in Figure 5.2.1-1. The quantity ULRBN depends on the uplink transmission
bandwidth configured in the cell and shall fulfil
ULmax,RB
ULRB
ULmin,RB NNN ≤≤
where 6ULmin,RB =N and 110ULmax,
RB =N is the smallest and largest uplink bandwidth, respectively, supported by the
current version of this specification. The set of allowed values for ULRBN is given by [6].
The number of SC-FDMA symbols in a slot depends on the cyclic prefix length configured by higher layers and is given in Table 5.2.3-1.

Resource element ( )lk, corresponds to the complex value lka , . Quantities lka , corresponding to resource elements not used for transmission of a physical channel or a physical signal in a slot shall be set to zero.
5.2.3 Resource blocks
A physical resource block is defined as ULsymbN consecutive SC-FDMA symbols in the time domain and
RBscN consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain, where UL
symbN and RBscN are given by Table 5.2.3-1. A physical
resource block in the uplink thus consists of RBsc
ULsymb NN × resource elements, corresponding to one slot in the time
domain and 180 kHz in the frequency domain.

5.3 Physical uplink shared channel The baseband signal representing the physical uplink shared channel is defined in terms of the following steps:
- scrambling
- modulation of scrambled bits to generate complex-valued symbols
- transform precoding to generate complex-valued symbols
- mapping of complex-valued symbols to resource elements
- generation of complex-valued time-domain SC-FDMA signal for each antenna port

5.4 Physical uplink control channel The physical uplink control channel, PUCCH, carries uplink control information. The PUCCH is never transmitted simultaneously with the PUSCH from the same UE. For frame structure type 2, the PUCCH is not transmitted in the UpPTS field.
The physical uplink control channel supports multiple formats as shown in Table 5.4-1. Formats 2a and 2b are supported for normal cyclic prefix only.

For preamble format 0-3, there is at most one random access resource per subframe for FDD. Table 5.7.1-2 lists the subframes in which random access preamble transmission is allowed for a given configuration. The start of the random access preamble shall be aligned with the start of the corresponding uplink subframe at the UE assuming a timing advance of zero. For PRACH configuration 0, 1, 2, 15, the UE may for handover purposes assume an absolute value of the relative time difference between radio frame i in the current cell and the target cell of less than s153600 T⋅ .

For preamble format 4 available in TDD only, the preamble shall start s4832 T⋅ before the end of the UpPTS at the UE.
In the frequency domain, the random access preamble occupies a bandwidth corresponding to 6 resource blocks for both frame structures.
5.7.2 Preamble sequence generation The random access preambles are generated from Zadoff-Chu sequences with zero correlation zone, generated from one or several root Zadoff-Chu sequences. The network configures the set of preamble sequences the UE is allowed to use.
3GPP
3GPP TS 36.211 V8.2.0 (2008-03)27Release 8
There are 64 preambles available in each cell. The set of 64 preamble sequences in a cell is found by including first, in the order of increasing cyclic shift, all the available cyclic shifts of a root Zadoff-Chu sequence with the logical index RACH_ROOT_SEQUENCE, where RACH_ROOT_SEQUENCE is broadcasted as part of the System Information. Additional preamble sequences, in case 64 preambles cannot be generated from a single root Zadoff-Chu sequence, are obtained from the root sequences with the consecutive logical indexes until all the 64 sequences are found. The logical root sequence order is cyclic: the logical index 0 is consecutive to 837. The relation between a logical root sequence index and physical root sequence index u is given by Tables 5.7.2-4 and 5.7.2-5 for preamble formats 0 – 3 and 4, respectively.

6.1 Overview The smallest time-frequency unit for downlink transmission is denoted a resource element and is defined in Section 6.2.2.
6.1.1 Physical channels A downlink physical channel corresponds to a set of resource elements carrying information originating from higher layers and is the interface defined between 36.212 and 36.211. The following downlink physical channels are defined:
- Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH
- Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH
- Physical Multicast Channel, PMCH
- Physical Control Format Indicator Channel, PCFICH
- Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH
- Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel, PHICH
6.1.2 Physical signals A downlink signal corresponds to a set of resource elements used by the physical layer but does not carry information originating from higher layers. The following downlink physical signals are defined:
- Reference signal
- Synchronization signal

6.2 Slot structure and physical resource elements
6.2.1 Resource grid
The transmitted signal in each slot is described by a resource grid of RBsc
DLRB NN subcarriers and DL
symbN OFDM symbols.
The resource grid structure is illustrated in Figure 6.2.2-1. The quantity DLRBN depends on the downlink transmission
bandwidth configured in the cell and shall fulfil
DLmax,RB
DLRB
DLmin,RB NNN ≤≤
where 6DLmin,RB =N and 110DLmax,
RB =N are the smallest and largest downlink bandwidth, respectively, supported by the current version of this specification.
The set of allowed values for DLRBN is given by [6]. The number of OFDM symbols in a slot depends on the cyclic
prefix length and subcarrier spacing configured and is given in Table 6.2.3-1.
In case of multi-antenna transmission, there is one resource grid defined per antenna port. An antenna port is defined by its associated reference signal. The set of antenna ports supported depends on the reference signal configuration in the cell:
- Cell-specific reference signals, associated with non-MBSFN transmission, support a configuration of one, two, or four antenna ports and the antenna port number p shall fulfil 0=p , { }1,0∈p , and { }3,2,1,0∈p , respectively.
- MBSFN reference signals, associated with MBSFN transmission, are transmitted on antenna port 4=p .
- UE-specific reference signals are transmitted on antenna port 5=p .
6.2.2 Resource elements Each element in the resource grid for antenna port p is called a resource element and is uniquely identified by the
index pair ( )lk, in a slot where 1,...,0 RBsc
DLRB −= NNk and 1,...,0 DL
symb −= Nl are the indices in the frequency and time
domains, respectively. Resource element ( )lk, on antenna port p corresponds to the complex value )(,plka . When there
is no risk for confusion, or no particular antenna port is specified, the index p may be dropped.

A physical resource block is defined as DLsymbN consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain and RB
scN consecutive
subcarriers in the frequency domain, where DLsymbN and RB
scN are given by Table 6.2.3-1. A physical resource block thus
consists of RBsc
DLsymb NN × resource elements, corresponding to one slot in the time domain and 180 kHz in the frequency
domain.
Physical resource blocks are numbered from 0 to 1DLRB −N in the frequency domain. The relation between the physical
resource block number PRBn in the frequency domain and resource elements ),( lk in a slot is given by

A virtual resource block is of the same size as a physical resource block. Virtual resource blocks are numbered from 0 to 1DL
RB −N . Two types of virtual resource blocks are defined:
- Virtual resource blocks of localized type
- Virtual resource blocks of distributed type
Virtual resource blocks of localized type are mapped directly to physical resource blocks such that virtual resource block VRBn corresponds to physical resource block VRBPRB nn = .
Virtual resource blocks of distributed type are mapped to physical resource blocks such that virtual resource block VRBn corresponds to physical resource block ),( sVRBPRB nnfn = , where sn is the slot number within a radio frame.
The virtual-to-physical resource block mapping is different in the two slots of a subframe.
6.2.4 Resource-element groups Resource-element groups are used for defining the mapping of control channels to resource elements.
A resource-element group is represented by the index pair ),( lk ′′ of the resource element with the lowest index k in the group with all resource elements in the group having the same value of l .

6.2.5 Guard period for half-duplex FDD operation For half-duplex FDD operation, a guard period is created by the UE by not receiving the last part of a downlink subframe immediately preceding an uplink subframe from the same UE.
6.2.6 Guard Period for TDD Operation For frame structure type 2, the GP field in Figure 4.2-1 serves as a guard period.
6.3 General structure for downlink physical channels This section describes a general structure, applicable to more than one physical channel.
The baseband signal representing a downlink physical channel is defined in terms of the following steps:
- scrambling of coded bits in each of the code words to be transmitted on a physical channel
- modulation of scrambled bits to generate complex-valued modulation symbols
- mapping of the complex-valued modulation symbols onto one or several transmission layers
- precoding of the complex-valued modulation symbols on each layer for transmission on the antenna ports
- mapping of complex-valued modulation symbols for each antenna port to resource elements
- generation of complex-valued time-domain OFDM signal for each antenna port

6.8 Physical downlink control channel
6.8.1 PDCCH formats The physical downlink control channel carries scheduling assignments and other control information. A physical control channel is transmitted on an aggregation of one or several consecutive control channel elements (CCEs), where a control channel element corresponds to a set of resource elements. The CCEs available in the system are numbered from 0 and upwards. The PDCCH supports multiple formats as listed in Table 6.8.1-1. A PDCCH consisting of n consecutive CCEs may only start on a CCE fulfilling 0mod =ni , where i is the CCE number.
Multiple PDCCHs can be transmitted in a subframe.

6.10.3 UE-specific reference signals UE-specific reference signals are supported for single-antenna-port transmission of PDSCH and are transmitted on antenna port 5. The UE is informed by higher layers whether the UE-specific reference signal is present and is a valid phase reference for PDSCH demodulation or not. If higher layer signalling informs the UE that the UE-specific reference signals are present and is a valid phase reference for PDSCH demodulation, the UE may ignore any transmission on antenna port 2 and 3. UE-specific reference signals are transmitted only on the resource blocks upon which the corresponding PDSCH is mapped.

5 Channel coding, multiplexing and interleaving Data and control streams from/to MAC layer are encoded /decoded to offer transport and control services over the radio transmission link. Channel coding scheme is a combination of error detection, error correcting, rate matching, interleaving and transport channel or control information mapping onto/splitting from physical channels.
5.1 Generic procedures This section contains coding procedures which are used for more than one transport channel or control information type.
5.1.1 CRC calculation Denote the input bits to the CRC computation by 13210 ,...,,,, −Aaaaaa , and the parity bits by 13210 ,...,,,, −Lppppp . A is the size of the input sequence and L is the number of parity bits. The parity bits are generated by one of the following cyclic generator polynomials:
- gCRC24A(D) = [D24 + D23 + D18 + D17 + D14 + D11 + D10 + D7 + D6 + D5 + D4 + D3 + D + 1] and;
- gCRC24B(D) = [D24 + D23 + D6 + D5 + D + 1] for a CRC length L = 24 and;
- gCRC16(D) = [D16 + D12 + D5 + 1] for a CRC length L = 16.
The encoding is performed in a systematic form, which means that in GF(2), the polynomial:
231
2222
123
024
122
123
0 ...... pDpDpDpDaDaDa AAA ++++++++ −++
yields a remainder equal to 0 when divided by the corresponding length-24 CRC generator polynomial, gCRC24A(D) or gCRC24B(D), and the polynomial:
151
1414
115
016
114
115
0 ...... pDpDpDpDaDaDa AAA ++++++++ −++
yields a remainder equal to 0 when divided by gCRC16(D).
The bits after CRC attachment are denoted by 13210 ,...,,,, −Bbbbbb , where B = A+ L. The relation between ak and bk is:
kk ab = for k = 0, 1, 2, …, A-1
Akk pb −= for k = A, A+1, A+2,..., A+L-1.

3GPP TS 36.212 V8.2.0 (2008-03)9Release 8
5.1.2 Code block segmentation and code block CRC attachment The input bit sequence to the code block segmentation is denoted by 13210 ,...,,,, −Bbbbbb , where B > 0. If B is larger than the maximum code block size Z, segmentation of the input bit sequence is performed and an additional CRC sequence of L = 24 bits is attached to each code block. The maximum code block size is:
- Z = 6144.
If the number of filler bits F calculated below is not 0, filler bits are added to the beginning of the first block.
Note that if B < 40, filler bits are added to the beginning of the code block.
The filler bits shall be set to <NULL> at the input to the encoder.
Total number of code blocks C is determined by:

L = 0
Number of code blocks: 1=C
BB =′
else
L = 24
Number of code blocks: ( )⎡ ⎤LZBC −= / .
LCBB ⋅+=′
end if
The bits output from code block segmentation, for C ≠ 0, are denoted by ( )13210 ,...,,,, −rKrrrrr ccccc , where r is the code block number, and Kr is the number of bits for the code block number r.
Number of bits in each code block (applicable for C ≠ 0 only):
First segmentation size: +K = minimum K in table 5.1.3-3 such that BKC ′≥⋅

The HARQ acknowledgement bits are denoted by 0a ′′ in case one HARQ acknowledgement bit or 10 ,aa ′′′′ in case two HARQ acknowledgement bits are reported per subframe. Each positive acknowledgement (ACK) is encoded as a binary ‘0’ and each negative acknowledgement (NAK) is encoded as a binary ‘1’.
The output of this channel coding block for normal CP is denoted by 13210 ,...,,,, −Bbbbbb , where

When extended CP is used for uplink transmission, the channel quality information and the HARQ-ACK acknowledgement bits are jointly coded. The HARQ acknowledgement bits are denoted by 0a ′′ in case one HARQ acknowledgement bit or [ ]10 , aa ′′′′ in case two HARQ acknowledgement bits are reported per subframe.
In case one HARQ acknowledgment bit is reported in the subframe, we define 00 aa ′′=′′′ and 1=blockACKK .

4 Synchronisation procedures
4.1 Cell search Cell search is the procedure by which a UE acquires time and frequency synchronization with a cell and detects the physical layer Cell ID of that cell. E-UTRA cell search supports a scalable overall transmission bandwidth corresponding to 6 resource blocks and upwards.
The following signals are transmitted in the downlink to facilitate cell search: the primary and secondary synchronization signals.
4.2 Timing synchronisation

4.2.2 Radio link monitoring
4.2.3 Inter-cell synchronisation [For example, for cell sites with a multicast physical channel]
4.2.4 Transmission timing adjustments Upon reception of a timing advance command, the UE shall adjust its uplink transmission timing. The timing advance command is expressed in multiples of 16 and is relative to the current uplink timing. sT

Editor’s note: RAN1 needs to agree on x.
5 Power control Downlink power control determines the energy per resource element (EPRE). The term resource element energy denotes the energy prior to CP insertion. The term resource element energy also denotes the average energy taken over all constellation points for the modulation scheme applied. Uplink power control determines the average power over a DFT-SOFDM symbol in which the physical channel is transmitted.
5.1 Uplink power control Uplink power control controls the transmit power of the different uplink physical channels.
A cell wide overload indicator (OI) is exchanged over X2 for inter-cell power control. An indication X also exchanged over X2 indicates PRBs that an eNodeB scheduler allocates to cell edge UEs and that will be most sensitive to inter-cell interference.
[Note: Above lines regarding OI, X and X2 to be moved to an appropriate RAN3 spec when it becomes available]

6.1 Physical non-synchronized random access procedure From the physical layer perspective, the L1 random access procedure encompasses the transmission of random access preamble and random access response. The remaining messages are scheduled for transmission by the higher layer on the shared data channel and are not considered part of the L1 random access procedure. A random access channel occupies 6 resource blocks in a subframe or set of consecutive subframes reserved for random access preamble transmissions. The eNodeB is not prohibited from scheduling data in the resource blocks reserved for random access channel preamble transmission.
The following steps are required for the L1 random access procedure:
1. Layer 1 procedure is triggered upon request of a preamble transmission by higher layers.
2. A preamble index, preamble transmission power (PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_POWER), associated RA-RNTI, and PRACH resource are indicated by higher layers as part of the request.
3. A preamble sequence is then selected from the preamble sequence set using the preamble index.
4. A single preamble transmission then occurs using the selected preamble sequence with transmission power PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_POWER on the indicated PRACH resource.
5. If no associated PDCCH with RA-RNTI is detected within the random access response window then the corresponding DL-SCH transport block is passed to higher layers.
6. If the random access response window has past then the physical random access procedure is exited.

7 Physical downlink shared channel related procedures
7.1 UE procedure for receiving the physical downlink shared channel
The UE is semi-statically configured via higher layer signalling to receive the physical downlink shared channel based on one of the following transmission modes:
1. Single-antenna port 2. Transmit diversity 3. Open-loop spatial multiplexing 4. Closed-loop spatial multiplexing 5. Multi-user MIMO
7.1.1 Single-antenna port In the single-antenna port mode, the UE may assume that the eNB transmits on the physical downlink shared channel according to Section 6.3.4.1 of [3]
3GPP
3GPP TS 36.213 V8.2.0 (2008-03)13Release 8T
7.1.2 Transmit diversity In the transmit diversity mode, the UE may assume that the eNB transmits on the physical downlink shared channel according to Section 6.3.4.3 of [3]
7.1.3 Open-loop spatial multiplexing In the open-loop spatial multiplexing transmission mode, the UE may assume, based on the rank indication (RI) obtained from the associated DCI as determined from the number of assigned transmission layers, that the eNB transmits on the physical downlink shared channel according to the following:
RI = 1 : transmit diversity as defined in Section 6.3.4.3 of [3] RI > 1 : large delay CDD as defined in Section 6.3.4.2.2 of [3]
For RI>1, the operation of large delay CDD is further defined as follows:
For 2 antenna ports, the precoder for data resource element index i, denoted by W(i) is selected according to where denotes the precoding matrix corresponding to precoder index 1 in Table 6.3.4.2.3-1 of
[3]. 1)( CiW = 1C
For 4 anetnna ports, the UE may assume that the eNB cyclically assigns different precoders to different data resource elements on the physical downlink shared channel as follows. A different precoder is used every υ data resource elements, where υ denotes the number of transmission layers in the case of spatial multiplexing. In particular, the precoder for data resource element index i, denoted by W(i) is selected

7.1.4 Closed-loop spatial multiplexing In the closed-loop spatial multiplexing transmission mode, the UE may assume that the eNB transmits on the physical downlink shared channel according to zero/small delay CDD for all the applicable number of transmission layers as defined in Section 6.3.4.2.1 of [3].
7.1.5 Void
7.1.6 Resource allocation The UE shall interpret the resource allocation field depending on the PDCCH DCI format detected. A resource allocation field in each PDCCH includes two parts, a type field and information consisting of the actual resource allocation. PDCCH with type 0 and type 1 resource allocation have the same format and are distinguished from each other via the single bit type field. For system bandwidth less than or equal to 10 PRBs the resource allocation field in each PDCCH contains only information of the actual resource allocation. PDCCH with DCI format 0 and 1A have a type 2 resource allocation which is a different format from PDCCH with a type 0 or type 1 resource allocation. PDCCH with a type 2 resource allocation do not have a type field.
7.1.6.1 Resource allocation type 0
In resource allocations of type 0, a bitmap indicates the resource block groups (RBGs) that are allocated to the scheduled UE where a RBG is a set of consecutive physical resource blocks (PRBs). Resource block group size (P) is a function of the system bandwidth as shown in Table 7.1.6.1-1. The total number of RBGs ( ) for downlink
system bandwidth of PRBs is given by

PRB allocations vary from a single PRB up to a maximum number of PRBs spanning the system bandwidth. For VRB allocations .the resource allocation information consists of a starting VRB number and a number of consecutive VRBs where each VRB is mapped to multiple non-consecutive PRBs.

7.2 UE procedure for reporting channel quality indication (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and rank indication (RI) The time and frequency resources that can be used by the UE to report CQI, PMI, and RI are controlled by the eNB. For spatial multiplexing, as given in [3], the UE shall determine a RI corresponding to the number of useful transmission layers. For transmit diversity as given in [3], RI is equal to one.
CQI, PMI, and RI reporting is periodic or aperiodic. A UE transmits CQI, PMI, and RI reporting on a PUCCH for subframes with no PUSCH allocation. A UE transmits CQI, PMI, and RI reporting on a PUSCH for those subframes with PUSCH allocation for a) scheduled PUSCH transmissions with or without an associated scheduling grant or b) PUSCH transmissions with no UL-SCH. The CQI transmissions on PUCCH and PUSCH for various scheduling modes are summarized in the following table:

Frequency non-selective PUCCH
PUSCH
PUSCH
Frequency selective PUCCH
PUSCH
PUSCH
In case both periodic and aperiodic reporting would occur in the same subframe, the UE shall only transmit the aperiodic report in that subframe.
When reporting RI the UE reports a single instance of the number of useful transmission layers. For each RI reporting interval during closed-loop spatial multiplexing, a UE shall determine a RI from the supported set of RI values for the corresponding eNodeB and UE antenna configuration and report the number in each RI report. For each RI reporting interval during open-loop spatial multiplexing, a UE shall determine RI for the corresponding eNodeB and UE antenna configuration in each reporting interval and report the detected number in each RI report to support selection between RI=1 transmit diversity and RI>1 large delay CDD open-loop spatial multiplexing.
When reporting PMI the UE reports either a single or a multiple PMI report. The number of RBs represented by a single UE PMI report can be or a smaller subset of RBs. The number of RBs represented by a single PMI report is semi-statically configured by higher layer signalling. A UE is restricted to report PMI and RI within a precoder codebook subset specified by a bitmap configured by higher layer signalling. For a specific precoder codebook and associated transmission mode, the bitmap can specify all possible precoder codebook subsets from which the UE can assume the eNB may be using when the UE is configured in the relevant transmission mode.
DLRBN
The set of subbands (S) a UE shall evaluate for CQI reporting is semi-statically configured by higher layers. A subband is a set of k contiguous PRBs where k is also semi-statically configured by higher layers. Note the last subband in set S may have fewer than k contiguous PRBs depending on . The number of subbands for system
bandwidth given by is defined by . The term “Wideband CQI” denotes a CQI value obtained over the set S.

For single-antenna port and transmit diversity, as well as open-loop spatial multiplexing, and closed-loop spatial multiplexing with RI=1 a single 4-bit wideband CQI is reported according to Table 7.2.3-1
For RI > 1, closed-loop spatial multiplexing PUSCH based triggered reporting includes reporting a wideband CQI which comprises:
o A 4-bit wideband CQI for codeword 1 according to Table 7.2.3-1
o A 4-bit wideband CQI for codeword 2 according to Table 7.2.3-1

3GPP TS 36.213 V8.2.0 (2008-03)16Release 8T
For RI > 1, closed-loop spatial multiplexing PUCCH based reporting includes separately reporting a 4-bit wideband CQI for codeword 1 according to Table 7.2.3-1 and a wideband spatial differential CQI each with a distinct reporting period and relative subframe offset. The wideband spatial differential CQI comprises:
o A 3-bit wideband spatial differential CQI for codeword 2 = wideband CQI index for codeword 1 – wideband CQI index for codeword 2. The set of exact offset levels is {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3}
7.2.1 Aperiodic/Periodic CQI/PMI/RI Reporting using PUSCH A UE shall perform aperiodic CQI, PMI and RI reporting using the PUSCH upon receiving an indication sent in the scheduling grant.
The aperiodic CQI report size and message format is given by RRC.
The minimum reporting interval for aperiodic reporting of CQI and PMI and RI is 1 subframe. The subband size for CQI shall be the same for transmitter-receiver configurations with and without precoding.
A UE is semi-statically configured by higher layers to feed back CQI and PMI and corresponding RI on the same PUSCH using one of the following reporting modes given in Table 7.2.1-1 and described below:

The CQI and PMI payload sizes of each PUCCH reporting mode are given in Table 7.2.2-3. Three CQI/PMI and RI reporting types with distinct periods and offsets are supported for each PUCCH reporting mode as given in Table 7.2.2-3:
• Type 1 report supports CQI feedback for the UE selected sub-bands • Type 2 report supports wideband CQI and PMI feedback. • Type 3 report supports RI feedback • Type 4 report supports wideband CQI
RI and wideband CQI/PMI are not reported in the same subframe (reporting instance):
• The reporting interval of the RI reporting is an integer multiple of wideband CQI/PMI period. • The same or different offsets between RI and wideband CQI/PMI reporting instances can be configured. • Both the reporting interval and offset are configured by higher layers. In case of collision of RI and wideband
CQI/PMI the wideband CQI/PMI is dropped.
The following PUCCH formats are used: • Format 2 as defined in section 5.4.2 in [3] when CQI/PMI or RI report is not multiplexed with ACK/NAK • Format 2a/2b as defined in section 5.4.2 in [3] when CQI/PMI or RI report is multiplexed with ACK/NAK for

7.2.4 Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) definition For closed-loop spatial multiplexing transmission, precoding feedback is used for channel dependent codebook based precoding and relies on UEs reporting precoding matrix indicator (PMI). A UE shall report PMI based on the feedback modes described in 7.2.1 and 7.2.2. Each PMI value corresponds to a codebook index given in Table 6.3.4.2.3-1 or Table 6.3.4.2.3-2 of [3]. For open-loop spatial multiplexing transmission, PMI reporting is not supported.
8 Physical uplink shared channel related procedures For FDD, there shall be 8 HARQ processes in the uplink. For FDD, the UE shall upon detection of a PDCCH with DCI format 0 and/or a PHICH transmission in subframe n intended for the UE, adjust the corresponding PUSCH transmission in subframe n+4 according to the PDCCH and PHICH information.
For TDD, the number of HARQ processes shall be determined by the DL/UL configuration. For TDD, the UE shall upon detection of a PDCCH with DCI format 0 and/or a PHICH transmission in subframe n intended for the UE, adjust the corresponding PUSCH transmission in subframe n+k, with k>3 according to the PDCCH and PHICH information
8.1 Resource Allocation for PDCCH DCI Format 0 A resource allocation field in the scheduling grant consists of a resource indication value (RIV) corresponding to a starting resource block ( ) and a length in terms of contiguously allocated resource blocks ( ).

• RPF=2 transmission comb assignment and location
• Duration of SRS transmission (valid until disabled or until the session ends)

When a UE is RRC configured to support both A/N and SRS transmissions in the same subframe, then the UE shall transmit A/N using a shortened PUCCH format where the A/N symbol corresponding to the SRS location is punctured. When a UE is not RRC configured to support both A/N and SRS transmissions in the same subframe then the UE shall only transmit the A/N using PUCCH format 1a or 1b as defined in Section 5.4.1 of [3].
A UE shall not transmit SRS in the case of simultaneous SR and SRS transmission..

8.3 UE ACK/NACK procedure When A/N and SR are transmitted in the same sub-frame a UE shall transmit the A/N on its assigned ACK/NACK PUCCH resource for a negative SR transmission and transmit the A/N on its assigned SR PUCCH resource for a positive SR transmission.
When only an ACK/NACK or only a SR is transmitted a UE shall use PUCCH Format 1a or 1b for the ACK/NACK resource and PUCCH Format 1 for the SR resource as defined in section 5.4.1 in [3].
8.4 UE PUSCH Hopping procedure The UE shall perform PUSCH frequency hopping if the single bit frequency hopping (FH) field in a corresponding PDCCH with DCI format 0 is set otherwise no PUSCH frequency hopping is performed.
A UE performing PUSCH frequency hopping shall determine its PUSCH resource allocation for the first slot of a subframe (S1) including the lowest index PRB ( ) in subframe n from a subset of the type 2 resource allocation field in a corresponding PDCCH with DCI format 0 received on subframe n-4. For a non-adaptive retransmission of a packet on a dynamically assigned PUSCH resource a UE shall determine its hopping type based on the last received PDCCH with DCI Format 0 associated with the packet. For a PUSCH transmission on a persistently allocated resource on subframe n in the absence of a corresponding PDCCH with a DCI Format 0 in subframe n-4, the UE shall determine its hopping type based on the hopping information in the initial grant that assigned the persistent resource allocation. The initial grant is either a PDCCH with DCI Format 0 or is higher layer signaled.

9 Physical downlink control channel procedures
9.1 UE procedure for determining physical downlink control channel assignment
9.1.1 PDCCH Assignment Procedure A UE is required to monitor a set of PDCCH candidates as often as every sub-frame. The number of candidate PDCCHs in the set and configuration of each candidate is configured by the higher layer signalling.
A UE determines the control region size to monitor in each subframe based on PCFICH which indicates the number of OFDM symbols (l) in the control region (l=1, 2, or 3) and PHICH symbol duration (M) received from the PBCH where
. For unicast subframes M=1 or 3 while for MBSFN subframes M=1 or 2. Ml ≥
A UE shall monitor (perform blind decoding of) all candidate PDCCH payloads possible for each of its assigned search spaces in a given subframe control region. A search space is a set of aggregated control channel elements where aggregation size can be 1, 2, 4, or 8 control channel elements. There is one aggregation size per Search space. The candidate PDCCH locations in a search space occur every B control channel elements where B is the aggregation size. A UE shall be required to monitor both common and UE-specific search spaces. A common search space is monitored by all UEs in a cell and generally supports a limited number of aggregation levels, DCI format types, and blind decodes compared to the UE-specific search space. A UE-specific search space supports all aggregation levels with more blind decodes (than common search space) and for some system bandwidths only a subset of UEs in a cell monitor it. A UE-specific search space may overlap with a common search space.
9.1.2 PHICH Assignment Procedure For scheduled PUSCH transmissions, a UE shall implicitly determine the corresponding PHICH resource in subframe n from the lowest index PRB of the uplink resource allocation and the 3-bit uplink demodulation reference symbol (DMRS) cyclic shift both indicated in the PDCCH with DCI format 0 received on subframe n-4. The PHICH resource is identified by the index pair where is the PHICH group number and is the orthogonal sequence index within the group as defined by:

10 Physical uplink control channel procedures
10.1 UE procedure for determining physical uplink control channel assignment
The resource blocks reserved for PUCCHs in a sub-frame are semi-statically configured.
For a PDSCH transmission on subframe n corresponding to a PDCCH with DCI format 1A/1/2 received on subframe n-4, the UE shall determine the PUCCH index for ACK/NACK implicitly from the lowest CCE index used to construct the associated PDCCH.
For each PDSCH transmission corresponding to a configured scheduling assignment the UE shall use a PUCCH index for ACK/NACK previously received explicitly from higher layer signalling associated with the configured scheduling assignment. While the configured scheduling assignment is valid a UE shall continue to use the explicitly signalled PUCCH index for ACK/NACK for a PDSCH transmission on subframe n when no corresponding PDCCH with DCI format 1A/1/2 was received on subframe n-4.
10.2 Uplink ACK/NACK timing For FDD, the UE shall upon detection of a PDSCH transmission in subframe n intended for the UE and for which an ACK/NACK shall be provided, transmit the ACK/NACK response in subframe n+4.
For TDD, the UE shall upon detection of a PDSCH transmission in subframe n intended for the UE and for which an ACK/NACK shall be provided, transmit the ACK/NACK response in UL subframe n+k, with k>3.
For TDD, the use of a single ACK/NACK response for providing HARQ feedback for multiple PDSCH transmissions is supported by performing logical AND of all the corresponding individual PDSCH transmission ACK/NACKs.

4 Control of UE/E-UTRAN measurements In this chapter the general measurement control concept of the higher layers is briefly described to provide an understanding on how L1 measurements are initiated and controlled by higher layers.
With the measurement specifications L1 provides measurement capabilities for the UE and E-UTRAN. These measurements can be classified in different reported measurement types: intra-frequency, inter-frequency, inter-system, traffic volume, quality and UE internal measurements (see the RRC Protocol [7]).
In the L1 measurement definitions, see chapter 5, the measurements are categorised as measurements in the UE (the messages for these will be described in the MAC Protocol [6] or RRC Protocol [7]) or measurements in the E-UTRAN (the messages for these will be described in the Frame Protocol).
To initiate a specific measurement, the E-UTRAN transmits a ‘RRC connection reconfiguration message' to the UE including a measurement ID and type, a command (setup, modify, release), the measurement objects, the measurement quantity, the reporting quantities and the reporting criteria (periodical/event-triggered), see [7].
When the reporting criteria are fulfilled the UE shall answer with a 'measurement report message' to the E-UTRAN including the measurement ID and the results.
For idle mode, the measurement information elements are broadcast in the System Information.
5 Measurement capabilities for E-UTRA In this chapter the physical layer measurements reported to higher layers are defined.
