Cell Defining SSB (CD-SSB)

A PCell is always associated with a CD-SSB located on the synchronization raster. In NR Cell selection and Cell re-selection are always based on CD-SSBs located on the synchronization raster. The UE searches the NR frequency bands and for each…

Delta signaling in 5G NR

In 5G New Radio (NR), delta signaling refers to a signaling mechanism used to efficiently transmit control information between the base station (gNB) and user equipment (UE). It’s designed to reduce overhead and improve spectral efficiency in the wireless communication…

SCHEDULING REQUEST

Scheduling Request in 5G-NR

The concept of Scheduling request is same for LTE and 5G NR. Scheduling request is way for UE to tell the network that it has some data in its MAC buffer and it needs PHY resources in Uplink to send…

SELF-CONTAINED SLOT

What is self Contained Slot?

In 5G New Radio (NR), a “time slot” refers to a discrete unit of time within the radio frame structure used for the transmission and reception of data. Time slots are an essential concept in wireless communication systems, including 5G…

Beam Correspondence

Beam Correspondence in 5G-NR

3GPP Defines Beam correspondence as to the ability of the UE to select a suitable beam for UL transmission based on DL measurements with or without relying on UL beam sweeping. The beam correspondence requirement is satisfied assuming the presence…
