How the LTE Toolbox™ can be used to fully synchronize, demodulate and decode a live eNodeB signal. Before the User Equipment (UE) can communicate with the network it must perform cell search and selection procedures and obtain initial system information. This involves acquiring slot and frame synchronization, finding out the cell identity and decoding the Master Information Block (MIB) and the System Information Blocks (SIBs). This example demonstrates this process and decodes the MIB and SIB1, the first of the System Information Blocks. To decode MIB and SIB1 a comprehensive receiver is required, capable of demodulating and decoding the majority of the downlink channels and signals.

Capture and decode an LTE signal obtained either from a file or from radio by using LTE Toolbox™ and various Hardware Support Packages (HSPs). Before the User Equipment (UE) can communicate with the network it must perform cell search and selection procedures, and obtain initial system information. This involves acquiring slot and frame synchronization, finding out the cell identity, and decoding the Master Information Block (MIB) and the System Information Blocks (SIBs). This example launches a graphical user interface (GUI), which enables you to: Provide all the inputs for scanning LTE waveforms
