Decoding Uplink Signal'Decoding Uplink Singal' means 'decoding PUCCH and PUSCH'. Overall Procedure is as follows : i) UE transmit PUSCH (or PUCCH) to eNodeB ii) eNodeB detect DMRS (DeModulation Reference Signal : PUSCH DMRS , PUCCH DMRS) iii) if DMRS detection is successful, eNodeB decode PUSCH (PUCCH) data. UL CRC Check happens at this stage. Overall logic is simple, but eNodeB normally get Uplink signal from multiple UEs and each of the UE may be in different distance and under different channel condition. So docoding uplink channel would not be easy. To help eNodeB decode these uplink channel, UE transmit a reference signal. There are a few different uplink signal as listed below. i) DMRS (DeModulation Reference Signal) for PUCCH Item iii) would not be a mandatory component, but UE must send item i) and ii). Otherwise, eNodeB fail to decode PUCCH or PUSCH even though UE transmit it in proper format. Detailed implementation of UL reference signal is described in TS 36.211 section 5.5 and TS 36.213. You will notice a lot of parameters are involved in UL reference signal generation and the following is brief list of these parameters. See Physical Channel : PUSCH DMRS and Physical Channel : PUCCH DMRS page if you are interested in how these parameters are used in PUSCH/PUCCH DMRS signal generation.
As you notice, quite a lot of parameters are involved and it is not easy to understand all of these in detail, but at the initial phase of chipset development or when you try to duplicate live network environment with network simulator you have to make it sure that all of these parameters are properly setup not only in UE but also in network simulator. Can UE set these parameters arbitrarily whatever it likes to do ? No.. in that case eNode B would not know how to detect the reference signal and in result eNode B would not be able to decode PUCCH/PUSCH. Then how UE can know which value it has to use for Uplink Reference Signal Creation ? The most critical information on UL Reference Signal is tranmitted by SIB2 message and there are different parameters that are involved in PUCCH reference signal detection and PUSCH reference signal detection : Following is the list of IEs related to PUCCH reference signal detection.
Following is the list of IEs related to PUSCH reference signal detection.
