F-OFDM

 The F-OFDM technology optimizes channel processing such as filters, digital pre-distortion (DPD),
and radio frequency (RF). Using this technology, Huawei base stations can effectively improve the
spectral efficiency and peak throughput of the system bandwidth by ensuring RF protocol
specifications such as the adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) and blocking.

Adaptive Uplink Waveform

 NR supports Cyclic-Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and DFT-


spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM).

 CP-OFDM
 Advantage: available discontinuous frequency domain resources, flexible resource allocation, and large
frequency diversity gain

 Disadvantage: relatively high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)

 DFT-S-OFDM
 Advantage: low PAPR (approximately close to that of a single carrier) and high transmit power

 Disadvantage: continuous frequency domain resources required

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page45
Adaptive Uplink Waveform (Cont.)

 According to the radio environment of the UE and the selected threshold THA, the network side
instructs the UE to select a proper CP-OFDM or DFT-S-OFDM waveform. The UEs between the
two thresholds select different waveforms by using the anti-ping-pong mechanism. The switching
between the two waveforms is reconfigured by using RRC signaling.
 When the uplink SNR is greater than the threshold THA, the UE selects CP-OFDM.

 When the uplink SNR is lower than the threshold THB and RANK equals 1, the UE selects DFT-S-OFDM.

 If the SNR is between THA and THB, the current waveform remains unchanged.

The UE selects Waveform remains The UE selects

UE Power-On and Network Access

 PLMN search (cell search)


 After a UE is powered on, its first task is to find and access a network. Actually, PLMN search is a
downlink synchronization process.

 Random access
 Random access aims to alleviate contention between UEs and achieve uplink synchronization.

 Attach
 Sets up the same mobility context on the UE and the core network.

 Sets up a default bearer between the UE and the core network.

 The UE obtains an IP address allocated by the network through an EPS attach procedure.

 Common process
 Authentication and security mode process

Overview of the Initial Access Procedure

 In the NSA networking, the gNodeB does not need to broadcast the RMSI. The content in the
RMSI is sent to the UE by the LTE.

gNodeB broadcasts SS/PBCH


blocks: The UE sends
And Remaining minimum RACH preamble
SI(RMSI) .

The UE detects a SS/PBCH


blocks and decodes the MIB The gNodeB receives the
PRACH and obtains the
SS/PBCH block index

The UE obtains the RMSI


according to the MIB, including
the common CORESET time
and frequency location The gNB&UE processes the
procedure, the initial access is
complete.

Overview of System Message Broadcast

 NR synchronization and system message broadcasting include: PSS/SSS, PBCH, RMSI, and OSI
 The PSS/SSS is used by the UE to synchronize the downlink clock and obtain the cell ID of the cell.

 The PBCH (MIB) is used by the UE to obtain the basic information about the access network. It is mainly
used to notify the UE where to receive the RMSI message.

 The RMSI (SIB1) is used to broadcast the initial BWP information, the UL and DL ratio of the TDD cell,
and the necessary information for other UEs to access the network.

 Other System Information (OSI) is used to broadcast other cell information. (Currently, this part is not
used in NSA networking.)

 To support massive MIMO, all broadcast channels and signals support beam scanning.

Broadcast channel beam scanning

 A broadcast beam can be designed for a maximum of N directional beams. The broadcast beam
coverage of the cell is completed by sending different beams at different moments. By scanning
beams, the UE obtains an optimal beam, and completes synchronization and system message

SIB1

 The SIB1 message is used to broadcast the basic information required when the UE initially
accesses the network, including the initial SSB information, initial SSB information, and downlink
channel configuration.

 In NSA, SIB1 is not broadcast. The contents carried in SIB1 are delivered to the UE through the
LTE in the RRC reconfiguration message.

 Currently, the SIB1 message in 3GPP is not defined completely

Concept - SgNB Change

 SgNB change is a process in which the PSCELL of a UE is transferred from a cell on the NR side to another
cell in the NSA scenario,

 In the NSA scenario, the measurement event of the NR is delivered on the LTE side. The NR has a
measurement control module. The measurement control information of the NR measurement control module is
transmitted to the LTE through the X2 interface. The LTE delivers the measurement control information to the
UE. The measurement information of the UE is reported to the LTE, and the LTE sends the measurement
report information to the NR through the X2 interface.
