Definition

The IE PTRS-DownlinkConfig is used to configure downlink phase tracking reference signals (PTRS) (see TS 38.214 [19] clause 5.1.6.3)

Fields (5)

FieldDescription
frequencyDensity
SEQUENCE (SIZE (2)) OF INTEGER (1..276) · OPTIONAL Need S
Presence and frequency density of DL PT-RS as a function of Scheduled BW. If the field is absent, the UE uses K_PT-RS = 2 (see TS 38.214 [19], clause 5.1.6.3, table 5.1.6.3-2).
timeDensity
SEQUENCE (SIZE (3)) OF INTEGER (0..29) · OPTIONAL Need S
Presence and time density of DL PT-RS as a function of MCS. The value 29 is only applicable for MCS Table 5.1.3.1-1 (TS 38.214 [19]). If the field is absent, the UE uses L_PT-RS = 1 (see TS 38.214 [19], clause 5.1.6.3, table 5.1.6.3-1).
epre-Ratio
INTEGER (0..3) · OPTIONAL Need S
since v15.2.0
EPRE ratio between PTRS and PDSCH. Value 0 corresponds to the codepoint "00" in tables 4.1-2 and 4.1-2A. Value 1 corresponds to codepoint "01", and so on. If the field is not provided, the UE applies value 0 (see TS 38.214 [19], clause 4.1).
resourceElementOffset
ENUMERATED { offset01, offset10, offset11 } · OPTIONAL Need S
Indicates the subcarrier offset for DL PTRS. If the field is absent, the UE applies the value offset00 (see TS 38.211 [16], clause 7.4.1.2.2).
maxNrofPorts-r16
ENUMERATED {n1, n2} · OPTIONAL Need R
since v16.0.0
The maximum number of DL PTRS ports specified in TS 38.214 [19] (clause 5.1.6.3). 2 PT-RS ports can only be configured for a DL BWP that is configured, as specified in TS 38.214 [19] clause 5.1, with a mode where a single PDSCH has association between the DM-RS ports and the TCI states as defined in TS 38.214 [19] clause 5.1.6.2.
