NB-iot in band guard-band Physical Broadcast Channel

NPBCH stands for narrowband physical broadcast channel similar to PBCH in LTE Technology. The Narrow Band-Physical Broadcast Channel (NPBCH) is used to deliver the NB-IoT Master Information Block (MIB), which provides essential information for the NB-IoT UE to operate in the NB-IoT network. Narrow Band-Physical Broadcast Channel (NPBCH) uses a 640 ms TTI, but within … Read more

Mode NR Physical Layer Specifications in 5G

A Work Item of the detailed specifications of 5G RAN for 5G commercial services is being conducted in 3GPP. The non-standalone NR specifications, which enable early deployment of NR carriers by exploiting LTE/LTE-Advanced carriers as the master node carriers, were completed in December 2017. In June 2018, the standalone NR specifications, which require full NR … Read more

8.BWP/CA ( NR Physical Layer Specifications in 5G )

In NR BWP/CA NR Physical Layer Specifications in 5G, the maximum bandwidth per carrier is much larger than in LTE: 100 MHz at frequencies below 6 GHz and 400 MHz at higher frequencies. For carriers operated with such a large bandwidth, NR supports the BandWidth Part (BWP) concept whereby user equipment can use smaller bandwidths … Read more
