LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) 6.5 PDSCH % The Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) is used to transfer: © system information (© paging and other RRC signalling messages * ‘© application data % The set of System Information Blocks (SIB) are broadcast using the PDSCH. This is in contrast to the b which is broadcast using the PBCH. Both the MIB and SIB are described within section 10 * Paging messages are broadcast using the PDSCH. UE in RRC Idle mode monitor the PDCCH for pagin indication triggers the UE to decode the paging message from the relevant PDSCH Resource Blocks * Downlink RRC signalling messages are transferred using the PDSCH, ie. Signalling Radio Bearers (SR Every connection has its own set of SRB %* System information, paging and other downlink RRC messages represent an additional overhead from t application data % The PDSCH can be modulated using 64QAM, 16QAM or QPSK. The eNode B selects the appropriate its link adaptation algorithm. In general, this is based upon the propagation channel and buffer occupan¢ transferring system information or paging messages. This helps to ensure that these low bit rate message entire cell % The application throughputs achievable from the PDSCH are discussed in section 20. ‘The PDSCH is as Blocks and the associated throughputs must be shared between all active connections %* Downlink Control Information (DCI) formats 1, 14, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2, 2A, 2B and 2C are used to allocate | UE. DCI are transferred using the PDCCH. They inform UE of which Resource Blocks to decode. The « formats is presented in section 9 % Figure 99 illustrates the set of Resource Elements available to the PDSCH for FDD after making allocat and other Phy Channels. PDSCH Resource Elements are the lightly shaded areas, The example assu per subframe are allocated to the PDCCH 10 ms Radio Frame = 10 subframes = 20 sts
