Resource Block Collections in the uplink define standalone PN9 RBs. Multiple collections can be added via the + button under Uplink > Resource Block.

Configure UL Resource Block Collection

Adds a new UL resource block collection above the currently selected collection.

Before adding, delete any existing transport channel, physical channel, or resource block collection occupying the same resource blocks to avoid a code-conflicted error.
