    hack: do not use BCH RBs for DL scheduling in subframe 0 · f6e03218
    Cédric Roux authored
    The problem is that when using those RBs with MCS 28 we may exceed the
    code rate 0.93 and according to 36.213 7.1.7 the UE may skip decoding
    PDSCH entirely in this case.
    
    This is a hack. The real solution is to check that the code rate is below
    0.93 for each scheduling decision and, I don't know, reduce the MCS if the
    code rate is above, so that in the end it is below. That means that we need
    a proper resource grid for the configuration of the eNB and this is not an
    easy thing (at least from my point of view) given all the possible
    configurations for the eNB, so I prefer not to do it rather than do something
    incorrect, thus this hack.
    
    The problem of this hack is that we won't use all the available RBs for
    scheduling, potentially reducing the maximum throughput achievable.
    
    To be fixed properly at some time, by someone who understands fully the
    resource grid and all the possible combinations (fdd/tdd, number of
    antennas, whatever else).
