Some resources use the termresource block to refer to the transport block• Downlink reference symbols occupy 4resource elements in each RB• Uplink reference symbols occupy 12resource elements in each RB• This overhead is accounted for whilecomputing the frame capacity for theadmission control procedureCONFIDENTIAL ─ RESTRICTED ACCESS: This information may not be disclosed, copied, or transmitted in any format without the prior written consent of OPNET Technologies, Inc. © 2010 OPNET Technologies, Inc.29
