5G NR

Channel Setup LTE Coexistence

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.
