5G NR
This property grid sets the parameters for LTE.
For single numerology case, LTE coexistence can only be enabled when the numerology is 15 kHz. For multi-numerology case, LTE coexistence can only be enabled when the 15 kHz resource grid is enabled. Otherwise, there will be an error message at the bottom of GUI, and an error icon on the LTE coexistence button, as shown below.
When LTE-CRS conflicts with other channels, the behaviors are as described in the table below.

This topic describes the following LTE Coexistence properties:
LTE Carrier offset to 5GNR Center
Many of the channel types described in this topic provide a convenient channel editor, in table format, for convenient viewing and configuring of multiple channels. The editing functions for adding, removing, and copying rows appear directly above the editor. As you make edits, the Channel Allocation graph updates and, if a channel conflict occurs, an error message appears, describing the conflict.
Enables LTE coexistence. When enabled, the resource elements for LTE-CRS are reserved and not available for PDSCH. It can only be enabled for 15 kHz numerology.

Sets the subframe index, which is to be configured as MBSFN subframes in LTE. Default is empty, which means no subframe for MBSFN. There are 3 ways to configure:
To configure by individual index, use ',' as the delimiter, e.g. 0,1,2,3.
To configure by a range of index, use ':' to indicate the start index and the last index, e.g. 3:5 means 3,4,5.
To configure by a certain step, use two ':' to indicate the start index, the step and the last index, e.g. 0:2:6 means 0, 2, 4, 6.
