pyltevisualizer

This used to be code.google.com/p/pyltevisualizer, and now it continues on GitHub. After years, there are so many changes in the world of LTE (or LTE-A, -B, ...). It is time to restart this project!

Requirements

• Output a picture to show Uu interface RE usage, in which:
• it is able to distinguish different antenna ports (by color);
• it is able to distinguish different physical channels (by color);
• colors are configurable;
• Support [3GPP 36.211 Release 12] (http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/136200_136299/136211/12.04.00_60/ts_136211v120400p.pdf);
• Support FDD and TDD;
• OK performance;
• Run on Linux, Windows, MacOS
• Easy to download and run

Design Decisions

• Implement in Python 3;
• Test framework is nose;
• Package/Module split ([Issue 6] (#6)):
• Follow [this document] (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html) to construct folder/file structures;
• Split according to 36 serial specification chapters and sections;
• E.g.: ts36_211.ch7.s5 for TS36.211, Chapter 7, Section 5;
• Naming rules:
• Variables ([Issue 11] (#11)):
  • Follow the name in spec as much as possible;
  • If the symbol in spec has upper/lower-fix, then put upper-fix first, and split them with a '_';
  • Ignore characters not in [a-zA-Z_];
  • E.g.: N_cell_ID, N__CPl, n_3p_PUCCH, s_p_l;

HowTo

• Setup environment

1. go to root folder that contains setenv.sh
2. source setenv.sh

• Run test

1. go to any folder
2. execute test to run all tests recursively from current folder

Known Limitations

• MBSFN is not supported;
• 7.5 kHz subcarrier is not supported;
