LTE and 5G NR Architecture
Non-standalone deployments will require users to test both 4G and 5G networks
5
• Deployment options vary by two factors • The core network: LTE /5G• RAN Network : Standalone/Non-standalone
• Options 1,5,2 are standalone options (Option 1 is current LTE deployments)
• Options 3/3a , 7/7a, 4/4a are non-standalone options• Initial deployments are NSA options 3/3a.
5GNR Option 3/3aから開始、4Gと5Gのテストが必要

5G Numerology & Max Transmission BW
5G NR ではSCS(サブキャリア・スペース)設定が複数存在する
- Subcarrier spacing determines the size of PBCH decode

PCTEL CONFIDENTIAL – Limited Customer Distribution Only
• The 5G NR SSB consists of SS (i.e. PSS and SSS) and PBCH channels.• In LTE and 5G NR resource grid consists of subcarriers in frequency domain and
symbols in time domain. Resource grid is combination of resource blocks (RBs). One RB (resource Block) consists of 12 consecutive subcarriers in frequency domain.
Bandwidth of 1 SS Block (240 x SCS):Band SCS (kHz) SSB BW (MHz)
FR1 15kHz 3.6MHz
FR1 30kHz 7.2MHz
FR2 120kHz 28.8MHz
FR2 240kHz 57.6MHz
Scanning receiver measurements provide the PSS, SSS and PBCH DMRS (SSB) measurements

Why is Measurement Speed Critical for 5G?
• SSB Beams are bursty Each one lights up for ~70 µsec
• SSB Beams repeat every 20 msec (typical) Most all networks set up for 20 msec
periodicity
Must MAXIMIZE scanning speed to catch the SSB Beam or it is NOT reported

nrTop N Details
• The nrTOP N measurement detects all PCIs and beam indexes transmitted by the 5G gNB
• Conducted on the SSB burst
nrTOP N scan measures the KPI parameters on an SSB (Synchronization Symbol Burst) in the 5G NR frame. • Includes RSSI, Received Power (RP), Received Quality (RQ) and CINR values for each Beam/PCI combination RSSI Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) Primary Broadcast Channel (PBCH)
• MIB information reported for each PCI

SSB Beams from gNB can be adjusted to focus coverage where the traffic is and resource can then be “shifted” away from an area where coverage is not required (e.g. red circle)
