What is Ultra-Lean-Design * Ultra-lean is one of the three design principles of 5G New Radio which significantly improves network energy efficiency and reduces interference in high traffic load conditions. But how does it achieve these objectives? * The so called always-on signals design in the 4G network, where the reference signal
5G
What is SSB? 5G Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) plays a crucial role in cell search and mobility. It consists of: * PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) * SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal) * PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) SSB occupies 20 Resource Blocks (RBs) and 4 Symbols in the frequency domain. How Does UE Detect SSB
5G
What is the SRS Transmission Comb type? * An SRS Transmission can occupy up to 272 RBs in the frequency domain, but an individual UE does not transmit the SRS on every subcarrier but selects specific subcarriers based on transmission comb type. * 5G supports two types of transmission Comb(2 &

4G/5G – DL/UL Inter-Cell Interference Randomization Brief Description and expected benefits: * When the Cell Load is low; the g-NB.(Scheduler) staggers the resources allocated to adjacent cells as far away from each other as possible in multi-cell networking scenarios. * Usually the resources allocation will be staggered based on the
5G
Introduction: * UE battery life is an important aspect of the user's experience, which will influence the adoption of 5G NR handsets and/or services. It is critical to study UE power consumption to ensure that UE power efficiency for 5G NR UEs can be better than that of

Learn about 5G DMRS for PBCH (1) What is the primary function of DMRS for PBCH? * The UE uses DMRS to estimate the propagation channel experience by the PBCH. The resultant information is used to demodulate the PBCH and subsequently decode the Master Information Block. (2) How and where is
5G
What are 4G S-TMSI and 5G S-TMSI? * 4G S-TMSI, and is part of GUTI, it is used to identify a UE within a specific MME Pool. * 5G S-TMSI can be used to identify a UE within a specific AMF Region. How can you trace and check them? * In 4G: It

💡 What is it? PDSCH Multiplexing simply means leveraging the free resources within the PDSCH DMRS Symbol for optimal PDSCH utilization. 📈Expected Gain: Experience an increase in the maximum user throughput for users in good radio conditions. 🚫 Expected Drawbacks: There's always a tradeoff. Be mindful of the impact on
