nRF9160 XRFTEST command - contents payload data when using burst mode?

[frankz]

Hi , a few questions related to using XRFTEST command in burst transmit mode:

1. Having looked at 9160 AT command manual and TS 36.521-1 Table A.2.4-1 where the NB-IoT reference measurement channels are defined: is my understanding correct that the command will generate a complete uplink channel with NPUSCH and other channels? Or is this just described be delving deep into 36.521?

2. What is the content of the payload that is mentioned in Table A.2.4-1 ?

3. Is there a possibility to specify the contents of this payload  in some way?

4. What would you recommend at the eNB side to check whether the reference signal is well received at the eNB side? Could something like srsLTE be used, or will this need a professional NB-IoT network analyser or real eNB?

Thanks a lot ! Frank
