PHICH - Tayal's Way To Learn LTE

The document explains the PHICH (Physical Hybrid ACK/NACK Indicator Channel) in LTE, which is used for sending feedback on uplink data received by the eNodeB. It details the timing for PHICH messages, the number of bits used for ACK/NACK transmission, and the concept of spreading factors to enhance detection. Additionally, it describes the location of PHICH on the resource grid based on its duration type.

PHICH 1
PHICH (Physical Hybrid ACK/NACK Indicator
Random Access … 22 Channel)
It is a downlink channel available in LTE for sending the feedback
Resource Allocati… 15 of uplink data received on PUSCH. In simpler words, eNodeB sends
feedback in terms of ACK or NACK to UE for the data received.
All about PDCCH… 19
Timing of PHICH message sent by eNodeB after receiving
the data on PUSCH :-
LTE ( Long Term … 24
As we know that uplink transmission is always synchronized which
means that timing is always fixed for ACK/NACK reception and
uplink re-Transmissions.
PHICH timings are cleary mentioned in spec 36213 section 9.1.2.
For a PUSCH transmission in subframe n , UE shall always
determine the PHICH in subframe n+kPHICH

where
For FDD,
kPHICH = 4

For TDD,
Please refer table 9.1.2-1 in spec 36213

FDD Example:-
UE has transmitted the uplink data at subframe number 2. UE will look
for the corresponding PHICH at subframe 6.

Number of bits used for PHICH ACK/NACK transmission :-
MAC will provide value 1(Ack) for a positive HI and value 0(Nack) for a

All about PDCCH… 19 shown in table above. 000 will be used for HI NACK and 111 will be
used for HI ACK. According to table 6.9.1-2 of spec 36211 , Each bit of
LTE ( Long Term … 24 PHICH is spreaded by a factor as

NSF PHICH = Spreading factor to be used


For Normal cyclic prefix = 4

Extended cyclic prefix = 2

In case of normal cyclic prefix 3 bits of PHICH will become 12 bits after

applying spreading factor of 4.

Spreading Factor:- It is a layer1 fundamental to make the information

more redundant and transmit the same information in different

frequency domain. This increases the possibility of successful detection

at UE. If channel condition at particular frequency is bad, same

information can be decoded from different frequency by UE.

PHICH location on resource Grid :-


PHICH location on resource grid depends upon its duration type. PHICH
duration is of two types
1. Normal duration :- PHICH will be present on the first OFDM symbol of
the resource grid.
2. Extended duration :- PHICH can be present in first 3 OFDM symbols
