PCFICH (LTE)

PCFICH is the Physical Control Format Indicator Channel and specifies how many OFDM symbols at the beginning of a subframe contain PDCCH. PCFICH is transmitted on the first OFDM symbol of a subframe and is transmitted only in subframes that contain symbols allocated to PDCCH.

The modulation type is QPSK.

See Section 6.7 of 3GPP TS 36.211 for more information about PCFICH.
