Transport block size lookup

Syntax

tbs = lteTBS(nprb)
tbs = lteTBS(nprb,itbs)
tbs = lteTBS(nprb,itbs,smnlayer)

Description

Use this function to look up transport block sizes as defined in TS 36.213 [1], Section 7.1.7.2 tables. The tables are Release 15 compliant and contain 37 TBS values for each of the physical resource block entries. The first 27 table entries are the Release 8–Release 11 compatible TBSs. Entries 28-33 are Release 12 compatible.

tbs = lteTBS(nprb) returns the column of TS 36.213 [1], Table 7.1.7.2.1-1 for the number of physical resource blocks, nprb, specified. Table 7.1.7.2.1-1 is for transport blocks not mapped to two or more spatial multiplexing layers. The returned column vector, tbs, has 38 elements, corresponding to transport block size indices from 0 to 37.

example

tbs = lteTBS(nprb,itbs) uses an additional input, itbs (a vector of transport block size indices from 0 to 33) to restrict returned vector of values. A value in the itbs vector equal to –1, indicates a discontinuous transmission (DTX) and lteTBS produces a corresponding tbs value of 0.

tbs = lteTBS(nprb,itbs,smnlayer) uses an additional input, smnlayer to indicate the number of spatial multiplexing layers to which the transport block is mapped. This combines TS 36.213 [1], Table 7.1.7.2.1-1 with the appropriate spatial layer TBS translation table:

  • For 2-layer spatial multiplexing, the function follows the rules in TS 36.213 [1], Section 7.1.7.2.2.

  • For 3-layer spatial multiplexing, the function follows the rules in TS 36.213 [1], Section 7.1.7.2.4.

  • For 4-layer spatial multiplexing, the function follows the rules in TS 36.213 [1], Section 7.1.7.2.5.

For transmission schemes that do not support spatial multiplexing ('Port0','TxDiversity','Port5','Port8'), set smnlayer = 1.
