Description

Background & Important terms

  • CFI = Control Format Indicator
  • CFI indication in MIB ETSI TS 136 331 [21] to avoid the need to decode PCFICH
  • In LTE, the Control Format Indicator (CFI) value defines the time span, in OFDM symbols, of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission (the control region) for a particular downlink subframe. The CFI is transmitted using the Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH)
