What is frame length in LTE?

LTE supports two frame lengths, 5 ms and 10 ms . Each 10 ms interval contains 10 subframes, which are labeled in the Table as D for downlink transmission, U for uplink transmission, and S for special subframe. The special subframe contains the turnaround time between downlink and uplink transmissions.

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).
