1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe in detail the command interfaces and commands of
the 7100 Long Term Evolution (LTE) Digital Radio Test Set (DRTS).

1.2 Scope
This document describes various commands that can be passed onto the 7100 DRTS. The 7100
accepts these text-based commands and passes them to the Test Entity (TE) for parsing. The
parsed commands are then mapped to different layer APIs.

1.3 Intended audience

This document is meant for:
¾ Customers who are configuring the 7100 for specific test cases in order to test UEs
¾ LTE developers who are designing the software
¾ The GUI team for providing a user-friendly interface to the customer
¾ The RAV team for producing scripts to test the system

 2 Introduction to the 7100 Command Interface
This chapter describes the 7100 Command Interface.

2.1 About the command

The System Control Interface is used to send all the scripting commands to the 7100.
The command description includes the scope, usage and the command parameters. Information
about the parameters is presented in tables, in which the following abbreviations are used.

Term Meaning

Int The parameter is an ASCII numeric value

Enum The parameter is an ASCII numeric value where each value is
associated with a specific meaning
Bool The parameter is an ASCII numeric value which can only be a zero or
a one
String The parameter is an ASCII alphanumeric string
HexString The parameter is a hexadecimal string composed of characters a-f (or
A-F) and 0-9
Min The minimum value for a numeric parameter
Max The maximum value for a numeric parameter
Default The default value for a parameter

2.2 Example command description

This section provides an example command, including the syntax and parameter descriptions.

2.2.1 Command prototype

Scope
Describes the test mode in which the command can be used.

Description
Gives detailed information on the corresponding command, including its purpose, usage scenarios
and any special considerations.

Syntax
FORW TE CommandPrototype <PARAMETERS>

 Introduction to the 7100 Command Interface

Parameters

Parameter name Type Min Max Default

Parameter 1 Int -1 100

Description of Parameter 1
Parameter 2 Enum 0 5

Description of Parameter 2
Parameter 3 Enum 0, 2, 4, 6

Description of Parameter 3

Here, the difference between the two enum value specifications is that parameter 2 can take any
value between 0 and 5, while parameter 3 can take only one of the following values: 0, 2, 4, and 6.
Delimiter notations used in this manual are given below.

[] Denotes an optional parameter

() Denotes a conditional parameter. Conditional Parameters may or may not be present,
subject to the value of some other preceding parameter
{} Denotes a list of parameters
>
>> Meant for indentation purposes

>>>

Example command
FORW TE SCHEDULERADDULSCHCTRLTABLEENTRY 0 2 {0 0 1 (1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1) }
For parameter details, see the command definition of
SCHEDULERADDULSCHCTRLTABLEENTRY in Section 11.5 of this document.
Here, the second parameter corresponding to the ‘Number of Entries’ is 2, which indicates two
sequences of items enclosed within braces ({}), and each separated by a comma delimiter {0 0 1 (1
0 1 1 0 1 0 1) }.
As mentioned in the above table for delimiter notations, conditional parameters may or may not be
present subject to the value of some other preceding parameter. In the example given above, the
fifth parameter (that is, the parameter corresponding to ‘Grant operation’) is the one based on
which subsequent conditional parameters may or may not be present. In the first sequence of items
‘0 0 1 (1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1)’, since the value of ‘Grant operation’ is 1, conditional parameters (6th – 13th
parameters) are present and are enclosed within parentheses (()). Note that if a conditional
parameter is not present, empty parentheses are not required.
Note that even if an optional parameter is not present, empty square brackets ([]) are required.

 Introduction to the 7100 Command Interface

2.2.2 Command confirmations

Confirmation messages returned by the 7100 have the following format:
C: CCCC RETURN_CODE RETURN_TEXT [CONFIRMATION_STRING]
CCCC The four letter administration command (for example, FORW)
RETURN_CODE A hexadecimal code showing success or failure of a command
RETURN_TEXT A text description of RETURN_CODE (there is a one-to-one mapping between
the RETURN_TEXT and the RETURN_CODE)
CONFIRMATION_ST This parameter is command-dependent and it normally echoes relevant Request
RING parameters. In addition, this provides any requested information.
FAILURE_TEXT Is returned by some commands instead of the confirmation string to give explicit
reason for command failure.

Example
A successful confirmation to the command FORW TE
SCHEDULERADDULSCHCTRLTABLEENTRY 0 2 {0 0 1 (1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1)} is:
C: FORW 0x00 Ok TE SCHEDULERADDULSCHCTRLTABLEENTRY: Return Code: 0
SUCCEEDED

2.2.3 Command indications

Indication messages originate from the 7100 to inform the user of an event. The 7100 may
therefore send an indication message to the System Control Interface at any time. Indication
messages from the 7100 have the following format:
I: IIII [INDICATION_STRING]
where IIII is the four letter indication message type.

Description
Although this is not a utility command in the way that STRT is, for example, this command is
described here in general terms because it is a class of the System Control Interface administration
command. The FORW command routes a text command to a specific component within the 7100
either to configure the component or to cause tests to be executed.

Syntax
FORW <COMPONENT_ALIAS> <COMMAND_STRING>

Request parameters

Parameter name Type Default Comment

COMPONENT_ALIAS String - An abbreviated component name used to identify a

component. Use the LCOM Command to obtain the set of
component aliases for the current configuration. This
identifies the component for which the command is
intended.

3.9 RBOT
NOTE: This command is not currently supported.
Reboot

Description
This command forces a software reload by the 7100 software (that is, a reboot). This request is
equivalent to powering OFF and then powering ON again, and causes all cards within the 7100 to
be reset and execute their normal boot routine.

16
 Administrative commands

Note: This command causes loss of the System Control Interface socket connection a few seconds
after the Command confirmation is issued. The application using the System Control Interface
closes its socket immediately on receipt of the confirmation and does not reconnect until the 7100
has booted up again.

Syntax
RBOT

Request parameters
None

Confirm parameters

Parameter name Comment

RETURN_CODE Number indicating the success or failure of the request.

RETURN_TEXT Text describing the success or failure of the request.

3.10 RSET
Reset

Description
This command resets the 7100 mode, enabling a new mode to be subsequently set. Each
component within the 7100 responds to the RSET request, but only one overall confirmation
message is sent to the user. The 7100 derives the overall RETURN_CODE and RETURN_TEXT
fields in the confirmation message from the return code response of all components in the system.
If all components return 0, the overall return code is 0. If one or more components respond with a
non-zero return code, the return code for each failed component is returned to indicate the failure
condition.

Syntax
RSET <PARAMETER>

Request parameters
None

Confirm parameters

Parameter name Comment

RETURN_CODE Number indicating the success or failure of the request.

RETURN_TEXT Text describing the success or failure of the request.

3.11 SCFG
Note: This command is listed for information only. It is not normally issued explicitly. Instead, configure
the mode of the 7100 directly or remotely.

Description

3.15 STRT
Description
This command starts up the 7100 operation. It is used to indicate the start of normal operation after
a 7100 mode has been configured and default parameter values have been amended.
Each component within the 7100 responds to the STRT request, but only one overall confirmation
message is sent to the user. The 7100 derives the overall RETURN_CODE and RETURN_TEXT
field in the confirmation message from the return code response of all components in the system. If
all components return 0, the overall return code is 0. If one or more components respond with a
non-zero return code, then the return code for each failed component is returned to indicate the
failure condition.

used after the STRT has been issued.

4.1 Activate
Activate the pending configuration

Scope
This command can only be used as part of a sequence of commands that need activation.

Description
This command is used to finalize and activate the currently pending configuration set by one or
several Activate-dependent commands at a particular time. This manual indicates when commands
are Activate-dependent in Scope sections.
The test modes, MAC_MODE, RLC_MODE, PDCP_MODE and other modes, are set using the
command SCFG, and each layer associated with that mode must be configured as part of an
Activate-dependent sequence.
Note: On issuing the Activate command following a set of commands, if the return code is ‘Failure’,
the user must re-issue the complete set of commands followed by the Activate command.
For example:
This script transcript (where x denotes parameters) configures the BCCH in MAC_MODE

 6 Physical layer commands
These commands can be used in the following modes MAC_MODE, RLC_MODE, PDCP_MODE
and FULL_PROTOCOL_MODE where explicitly stated. Unless stated otherwise in the command
description, these can only be used after STRT has been issued.

6.1 Power levels in physical layer commands

The power levels in the physical layer commands refer to EPRE and are specified in QdB with respect to
the reference signal EPRE. The reference signal EPRE cannot be controlled through a physical layer
command. Instead, a system level command/GUI setting should be used.
For PHICH, PDCCH, PBCH and PDSCH, two power levels are required. The first (designated Ra)
corresponds to the EPRE for OFDM symbols not containing reference signals, and the second
(designated Rb), corresponds to the EPRE for OFDM symbols that do contain reference signals. For
PCFICH, only Rb can be specified as it cannot be transmitted in OFDM symbols not containing reference
signals and for each of the synchronization signals, only Ra can be specified as these channels/signals
cannot be transmitted in OFDM symbols containing reference signals.
In the 7100, power levels are actually specified as ’Power level indicators‘ usually ranging from -52 to +16
’Quarter decibels (QdB)’, where an increase of 1 in the power level indicator corresponds to a 0.25 dB
increase in the EPRE.
Notes: The PHICH, PCFICH and PDCCH (called ‘control channels’) all have the same power level. For
PCFICH, the Ra value is not used.

7.14 PhySendUlTpcSequence
Modifies the Uplink Transmission Power based on the configuration values.

Scope
The command has to be followed by an Activate command and can be issued along with the group
of Activate-dependent commands or also as a single stand-alone command. This command cannot
be issued along with the Scheduler reconfiguration commands.

Description
This command is used to control the UL Transmit Power by sending the UL TPC values in only DL
grants, only UL grants or either of them. To achieve persistent power values, the Accumulation
option has to be enabled in the PhyConfigPusch command.
It is recommended that the TPC values are 0 in the SchedulerAddUlSchCtrlTableEntry command
when this command is used.
For example, to increase the PUSCH transmit power by 10dB through UL grants, this command
can be issued with 10 entries, with each entry corresponding to a 1dB power increase, and with the
applicability set to 1.
The TPC values in the SchedulerAddUlSchCtrlTableEntry command are used only before and after
(but not during) all TPC values in this command are used up. The 10 values in the above example
correspond to 10 TTIs after activation if the UL grant is present in all TTIs.
For immediate effect of this command, activate immediately.

 9 Channel emulation commands
All commands in this chapter can be used only if radio channel emulation is enabled. By default, radio
channel emulation is disabled. If fading models need to be simulated, the command,
PhyConfigRadioChannel must be activated. Similarly, by default, AWGN generation is disabled. To
enable AWGN generation, the command PhyConfigAwgn should be issued and activated. The activation
of AWGN and fading models are independent.

In the 2x2 fading mode:

When the velocity of the UE is zero, the static channel that is simulated is as per Section B.1 of

3GPP TS 36.101, i.e. .

If there are multiple paths, each path has the above channel matrix and is weighted by its path
gain.

If cross paths are not enabled in the 2x2 mode, the channel that is simulated is . The
AWGN level is not affected by this condition. The user can reduce the AWGN level by 3dB to
maintain the SNR in each receive-antenna.

In the 4x2 fading mode,

When the velocity of the UE is zero, the default static channel that is simulated is [1 1 1 1; 1 -1 -1
1].

If cross-paths are not enabled, the channel that is simulated is [1 0; 0 -1] for 2 Tx antennas and [1 0
0 0; 0 -1 0 0] for 4 Tx antennas.

There are two ways to use the 4x2 fading mode without closed-loop operation. (Not using CQI/PMI
feedback)

1. If a pre-coding index has been fixed, ~1 second after starting the fading channel simulation
without specifying a static channel, the links (Tx1-Rx1, Tx2-Rx1 etc.) de-correlate enough to be
able to decode the data.

2. Depending on the precoding index selected, the user should configure a suitable static channel
by setting the “Channel Model” = 1 in the PhyConfigRadioChannel command. Another instance of
PhyConfigRadioChannel should follow with the required fading profile and velocity pattern. The
fading simulation starts from the specified channel condition and continues from there. For a
different precoding index, repeat this procedure with a matching static channel.

Notes: Deleting a cell and creating another one with two transmit antennas defaults to the 3GPP channel
(and if fading is enabled, the channel changes dynamically starting from this channel condition.)

Static Channel Configuration in 4X2 Fading Mode:

PhyConfigRadioChannel Command is modified to configure static channel from command. After Creating
a cell in 4X2 Fading, PhyConfigRadioChannel command with static channel ‘ON’ should be run before
performing registration when four transmit antennas are used otherwise registration fails. Below are the
sample commands that should be used for various transmission modes:

9.1 PhyConfigRadioChannel
Configure the path-independent radio channel simulation parameters

Scope
This command must be activated independently. Activation time is controlled by the Activate
command.

Description
This command is used to configure or modify existing radio channel simulation parameters.

Syntax
FORW TE PHYCONFIGRADIOCHANNEL <PARAMETERS>
Notes:
When the velocity of the UE is zero, the static channel that is simulated is as per Section B.1 of

3GPP TS 36.101, i.e. .

If there are multiple paths, each path has the above channel matrix and is weighted by its path
gain.

If cross paths are not enabled, the channel that is simulated is . The AWGN level is not
affected by this condition. The user can reduce the AWGN level by 3dB to maintain the SNR in
each receive-antenna

This command can be used in MAC_MODE, RLC_MODE, PDCP_MODE and FULL_PROTOCOL_
MODE. This command must be used with the MAC Layer Logical Channels Commands as part of
a sequence of Activate-dependent commands. Activation time is controlled by the Activate
command.

Description
This command is used to add an entry to the DL-SCH ACK table. This enables the forcing of the
DL-SCH reception results signalled on the uplink. The maximum number of 'Forced Time' data
entries available is 8000 TTIs, or 1000 'Forced Event' data entries per HARQ process per
codeword (that is, 16000). This command can be used more than once to add more than 255
entries to the profile and must be issued at least once for each codeword and HARQ for which
'Forced Event' data entries are required to be specified.
If no 'Forced Event' ACK/NACK result override is specified for a given HARQ process and
codeword, then the real result is transmitted.

MODE. This command must be used with the HarqConfigDlSch command as part of a sequence of
Activate-dependent commands. Activation time is controlled by the Activate command.

Description
This command is used to configure the DL-SCH ACK table test feature. This enables the forcing of
the DL-SCH reception control signal results as signalled on the PUCCH control channel.
When using forced event operation, the ACK/NACK result overrides the real-world result produced
by the HARQ process. This mode is intended to be used to enable a defined DL-SCH BLER or
ACK/NACK sequence to be simulated.
When using forced time operation, the ACK/NACK result is transmitted independently on the
HARQ process. This mode is intended to be used to generate test data for the UCI carried on the
PUCCH/PUSCH.
When this command is used to modify the DL-SCH ACK table test feature, all the entries of the
table are cleared and must be re-applied.
Table entries are added using HarqAddDlSchAckTableEntry command.

11 Scheduler commands
Scheduler commands let you configure the 7100 to schedule DL and UL transmissions according
to your test scenario. These commands can be used for varying the following parameters on a TTI
basis:
• CFI
• Presence of DL grant
• Presence of UL grant
• DL scheduling information that is signaled on the PDCCH
• UL scheduling information signaled on the PDCCH
• PDCCH aggregation level, search space and candidate index
• HARQ ACK to be used for each DL transmission
• HARQ ACK to be used for each UL transmission.
Every TTI from the activation time of the scheduler commands, the CFI is read from the values in
the ConfigCfiValue command and wrapped around until the command is reconfigured or stopped.
The presence of the DL grant is indicated by the command ConfigDlGrant. The entries in this
command are read every TTI from the activation time and are wrapped around until reconfigured or
stopped. For every TTI where a grant is present or a retransmission is needed, the HARQ process
number is incremented and the next entry for that HARQ process from the
SchedulerAddDlSchCtrlTableEntry is used. If no grant is present for a TTI, the information in
SchedulerAddDlSchCtrlTableEntry is not used. A similar mechanism is applied for the
ConfigUlGrant and the SchedulerAddUlSchCtrlTableEntry except that the HARQ process number
is incremented every TTI irrespective of the ConfigUlGrant status for that TTI. However,
autonomous scheduler decisions are made in the following cases:
• For a PCH, D-BCH or RAR transmission, the presence of a DL grant and the entry from the
SchedulerAddDlSchCtrlTableEntry are ignored (if already used, that is. if ConfigDlGrantStatus
showed the presence of a DL grant) and MAC decides what DL grant parameters to be used.
When message 3 is expected, the cyclic shift DMRS parameters for the PUSCH are forced to
zero.
• If a special RNTI (SI-RNTI and RA-RNTI) is used in the DL, both the DL and UL grants (if
present) are sent in the common search space of aggregation level 2 in candidate indices 0 and 1
respectively.
• If the DL grant is present in a TTI, and is for a DL-SCH transmission on the C-RNTI or TC-RNTI,
the search space and candidate index is taken from the corresponding entry specified in
SchedulerAddDlSchCtrlTableEntry.
• If the DL grant is present, the UL uses the same search space as the DL. The candidate index is
1 away from the DL candidate index.
• If the DL grant is not present, the UL grant is sent in the UE-specific search space at candidate
index 0.
Retransmissions
The mechanism described above also applies to retransmissions, but with the following exceptions:
• For the DL, the pattern specified in SchedulerAddDlSchCtrlTableEntry is adhered to as far
as possible, but if previous transmissions are pending, the entry corresponding to that TTI
is stored until a free HARQ process is found. The entry corresponding to the TTI where this
data was actually transmitted is used next. To guarantee the exact use of entries as
specified, force all ACKs in the DL.
• Even if the UL grant is not present in SchedulerAddUlSchCtrlTableEntry for the TTI where
a retransmission is due, the UL grant for a retransmission is sent.

74
 Scheduler commands

• For each HARQ process, the grant parameters in the entry following any that has a NACK
(to be used in future releases for adaptive retransmissions) are ignored unless the
maximum number of retransmissions has been reached.
• When cells are reconfigured, up to 17 TTIs force new transmissions (provided data is
present).
UL Power Control
The TPC command PUCCH/PUSCH is specified as given in the following table:
Mapping of TPC Command Field in DCI Format 0/1/1/1A/2/2A/3

TPC Command Field in

DCI format 1A/1B/1D/1/2A/2/3 δ [dB]

1 0
2 1
3 3

Mapping of TPC Command Field in DCI Format 3A

TPC Command Field in

DCI format 3A
δ [dB]
0 -1
1 1

For DCI Format 3A the TPC command in ‘SCHEDULERADDULSCHCTRLTABLEENTRY’ ‘is

interpreted as 0, 1 = 0 and 2, 3 = 1.
Note: UL power control using DCI Format 3 and 3A is not supported in this release.
Scheduler Reconfiguration
When reconfigured, activation of these commands happens on the next available opportunity at
subframe 0 for immediate activation whereas for time-based activation it happens at the activation
time configured if Harq process number is 0 or the next available opportunity at subframe 0. There
can be a maximum of 9 DTX subframes before the activation. Activation can be delayed,
depending on dynamic conditions, by a maximum of 2 radio frames in TDD and 1 radio frame in
FDD in time-based activation.
Note: To achieve a one-to-one mapping of DL grants to subframes, SIBs must not be present and
the scheduler command must be reconfigured with number of entries modified so that it repeats
over an inter multiples of radio frames. For example, in FDD if there are only 9 DL grants present in
a radio frame, number of entries in DL scheduler command should be 72. This ensures that the
pattern of 72 grants is repeated with exact mapping to 8 radio frames considering the missing
subframe command and wrapped around until the command is reconfigured or stopped.

 15 Data entity commands
This set of commands is used to set up data entities and to define whether they are uplink,
downlink or bidirectional. Data entities are defined as follows:

Data entity definition and test modes

Depending on the test mode, each data entity must be defined using one of the commands
DeConfigLogCh, DeConfigRb or DeConfigAb. This connects channels or bearers to data entity IDs.
Data entities can be uplink only, downlink only, or bidirectional.

Data entity type

Depending on data entity type, a data entity must then be configured with at least one attribute
using DeConfigPneAttrib, DeConfigFfeAttrib, DeConfigFfgAttrib, DeConfigPngAttrib,
DeConfigTdiAttrib, or DeConfigIPAttrib.

Data entity direction

For bidirectional data entities, it is necessary to apply uplink and downlink, or bidirectional attributes
to the data entity.
• The command DeConfigTdiAttrib is used to configure attributes for bidirectional data entities. In
the case of unidirectional data entities, it is only necessary to apply either uplink or downlink, or
bidirectional, attributes to a data entity:
• The commands DeConfigFfeAttrib and DeConfigPneAttrib are used to configure attributes for
unidirectional uplink data entities.
• The commands DeAddToFfgBuffer and DeConfigPngAttrib are used to configure attributes for
unidirectional downlink data entities. Additional properties are available for the downlink to be
applied to a data entity using the DeConfigDlDataProfile command. This enables configuration
of a time varying data stream rate.

15.1 DeAddDlDataProfileEntry
NOTE: This command is not currently supported.
Configure data profile entry to add to a data profile

Scope
This command is only available in RLC_MODE, PDCP_MODE and FULL_PROTOCOL_MODE.
This command must be used with the DeConfigDlDataProfile command as part of a sequence of
Activate-dependent commands. Activation time is controlled by the Activate command.

Description
This command is used to add a data profile entry to a data profile of a data entity. The maximum
number of entries allowed for a data profile is 10,000. However, this command can be used more
than once to add more than 255 entries to the profile.
Note: If the number of SDUs to generate in a period exceeds the time allowed for generation in a
period, then the number of SDUs is truncated for that period.
