Numerology Mode

Specifies the numerology mode of carrier as either single or multiple numerologies.

Choices:

MU0 = 0:15 kHz

MU1 = 30 kHz

MU2Ncp = 60 kHz Normal CP

MU2Ecp = 60 kHz Extended CP

MU3 = 120 kHz

MU4 = 240 kHz

MU5 = 480 kHz

MU6 = 960 kHz

Sets the numerology for the component carrier in single numerology mode. Setting this value reverts the Max RB for valid numerologies to default and resets the user-defined values to those defined in 3GPP specification 38.104 table 5.3.2-1 and 5.3.2-2. This value also determines the set of valid numerology that can be used by a resource allocation within the carrier.

This parameter is only visible in single numerology mode, and it will determine the numerology of all the channels/BWPs in this carrier.

The 15 kHz/30 kHz subcarrier spacing can be used only in frequency range 1 (FR1); 120 kHz/240 kHz subcarrier spacing can be used only in frequency range 2 (FR2); 60 kHz subcarrier spacing can be used in either FR1 or FR2.

Cyclic Prefix (CP) length specifies the symbols per slot. For normal, each slot occupies 14 symbols and for extended each slot occupies 12 symbols. Extended CP is used for subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 60 kHz only. Normal CP length = 7.03125% the length of the symbol and extended CP length = 25% of the length of a signal.

It is only visible when Numerology Mode is single mode.

When Numerology Mode is single mode and Bandwidth is FR1 , then MU0 , MU1, MU2Ncp and MU2Ecp are valid values.

When Numerology Mode is single mode and Bandwidth is FR2 ,then MU2Ncp, MU2Ecp ,MU3 and Mu4 are valid values.

When  Numerology Mode is switched from multiple mode to single mode and if Bandwidth is FR1, then this setting will be reset to MU1.

When Numerology Mode is switched from multiple mode to single mode and if Bandwidth is in FR2, this setting will be coupled to MU3.

When Bandwidth is switched from FR2 to FR1, and Numerology Mode is single mode, this setting will be coupled to MU1

When Bandwidth is switched from FR1 to FR2, and Numerology Mode is single mode, this setting will be coupled to MU3

Max RB

Sets the maximum number of RB for current numerology of the carrier in Single Numerology mode. The default value is the max RB size for the numerology based on the selected Bandwidth.

This parameter is only visible in Single Numerology mode, it determines the bandwidth of current carrier, the center of carrier is assumed at the middle of whole RB range if k0 is 0, and the N_grid_start for selected numerology is 0.

This setting can only be specified when Numerology Mode is set to single mode.

When Numerology Mode is single mode and select a different Bandwidth, this setting will be coupled to the “standard value” listed in the RB Number Table.

Maximum value depends on Numerology and Bandwidth, the “Maximum Value” is set per the 3GPP specification table.

When Numerology Mode is switched to single mode, this value will be reset to the maximum value for the selected Bandwidth.

Intra-Cell Guard Band (µ = 0)

Use the Intra-Cell Guard Band dialog to set the guard bands. For every two values, the first/second is the CRB start/CRB number of a guard band between two RB sets. An invalid input displays a message in red text so you can correct the value without warning or error being generated. You can add a maximum of four guard bands. When finished, the guard bands appear as comma-separated values in the GUI field.
