Extensive Summary of Agreements by Topic for Rel-19
LTE-based 5G Broadcast Phase 2
Time and Frequency Interleaving
- Time Interleaving Depth:
- Supported values: M={4,8,16,32} and N={1,2,4,8,16}.
- FFS: Larger values, including M=64 and N={32,64}.
- UE behavior to be specified for cases where M and N
exceed UE capabilities (e.g., soft buffer size, maximum TBS supportable
in a TTI).
- Configuration Options for Time Interleaving
Transmission:
- Option 1: Per MBSFN area/MCCH configuration (via
mcch-Config).
- Option 2: Per PMCH configuration (via pmch-Config).
- Option 3: Per MBMS session (via MBMS-SessionInfo or MAC
CE).
- Updated agreement: If per MBMS session configuration is
done:
- Alt1: A T_proc of 3 ms between the end of MSI and the
first MTCH in the MCH scheduling period is needed for UE de-rate
matching.
- Alt2: Other options are not precluded, allowing UE to
know M, N values of the first MTCH scheduled after MSI.
- Basic Transmission Pattern:
- PMCH with time interleaving consists of (M x N)
consecutive MBSFN subframes, excluding MCCH and MSI.
- Two transmissions of the same TB are separated by (M-1)
MBSFN subframes.
- Handling MSI Periodicity Mismatch:
- Adopt extended configurable periodicities for MCH
scheduling to reduce resource wastage.
- Options for residual mismatch:
- Option 1: Drop time-interleaved TBs without all N RVs
transmitted within MSI periodicity.
- Option 2: Drop time-interleaved TBs that could not be
successfully decoded.
- Network decides whether to schedule MTCH transmission in
residual mismatch parts of MSI periodicity.
Transport Block Size (TBS) Scaling
- Scaling by N:
- Two options for calculating final TBS:
- Option 1: Use transport block size table in TS 36.213,
calculate TBS based on system bandwidth, and round to the closest TBS
value.
- Option 2: Obtain initial TBS as per current
specifications and calculate final TBS as TBS = round{TBS' × N}.
- Clarification: If two TBS values are equidistant, the
larger TBS is chosen.
- Maximum TBS for PMCH:
- Derived based on DL-SCH as per TS 36.306 set by UE
category.
- Includes scaled-up broadcast bits by N.
Frequency Interleaving
- Granularity:
- Granularity of frequency interleaver is 1 RE.
- Design Principles:
- Modulation symbol vector interleaved according to TS
36.212.
- Number of columns (X) options:
- Option 1: X equals the number of codeblocks mapped to
the OFDM symbol.
- Option 2: X=32.
- Other options not precluded.
- Matrix operations:
- Write elements column-wise into a matrix.
- Read elements row-wise, excluding padding.
- Map vector to resource elements as per TS 36.211.
- Row Operations:
- Inter-row permutation with reordered row indexes.
- Cyclic shift applied to elements in each row with defined
offset.
LBRM Parameters
- Consistency:
- LBRM parameters (e.g., NIR, NCB) are consistent between
broadcast network and multiple UEs receiving the transmission.
- FFS: How consistent NIR and NCB are calculated for UEs of
different categories.
Higher Layer Signaling
- Initial Input:
- Rapporteur to provide input on higher layer signaling
under agenda item 9.13.
- Other inputs to be included in relevant sub-agenda items.
Evaluation Guidance
- Channel Profile:
- Use "Two Path Ensemble" channel profile defined
in Table A.1.1, Annex A of A325-2024-04 for frequency interleaver
evaluation.
- Delay to be selected by proponents but less than 0.95*CP.
