Base module for the Physical (PHY) layer of the LTE protocol stack.

This module provides the common functionalities for PHY operations at both the eNodeB and User Equipment (UE) sides, such as the initialization of ChannelModel module instances, one for each Carrier Component (CC) supported by the node, and the transmission of frames over the radio. It provides parameters to configure the transmission power and direction of the node, as well as to enable or disable handover procedures.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
LtePhyEnb	simple module	This module extends the LtePhyBase(1,2) module by providing the specific PHY functions on the eNodeB side. It is responsible for checking if a frame received on the air interface originates from a User Equipment (UE) connected to the eNB itself, and it provides the functions necessary to compute the Channel Status Information (CSI) for the UEs connected to it.
LtePhyUe	simple module	This module extends the LtePhyBase(1,2) module by providing specific PHY functions on the User Equipment (UE) side. It ensures that frames received on the air interface are sourced from the serving eNodeB (eNB) and provides functions to manage the handover procedure, including periodic measurement of channel conditions to determine when a handover should occur. If enabled, the selection of the serving eNB at initialization is done dynamically based on radio conditions.
