What is MCS code?

MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) defines how many useful bits can be transmitted per Resource Element (RE) . MCS depends on radio link quality. The better quality the higher MCS and the more useful data can be transmitted.

What are transport blocks?

Transport Block is a packet of data which is passed between the MAC and Physical layers . It is passed downwards at the transmitter and upwards at the receiver. A Transport Block undergoes Physical layer processing at the transmitter before being mapped onto the PDSCH for transfer across the air-interface.

What is TB size in LTE?

TB Size(transport block size) defines how many bits MAC layer transfers to Physical layer per TTI (Transmission Time Interval, defined as 1ms). Note: TM1/TM2 can carry 1 TB Size per TTI, TM3/TM4 can carry 2 TB Size per TTI (two code word).

What is code rate in LTE?

LTE Quick Reference Go Back To Index Home : www.sharetechnote.com. Code Rate. Simply put, the code rate can be defined as the ratio of the data rate that is allocated for a subframe and the maximum data rate that ideally can be allocated in the subframe .

What is transport block LTE?

Transport block: Higher layer data packets are multiplexed onto transport blocks which are delivered to LTE physical layer for transmission . Per LTE transmission time interval of 1 ms, one transport block (or up to two in the case of MIMO spatial multiplexing) can be transmitted.
