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 (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.

Channel Management - Logical channels
Logical channels are available between the MAC layer and the RLC layer. Each logical channel
type is defined according to the type of the data to be transmitted. Generally, logical channels are
classified into control channels and traffic channels.

Channel Management - Transport channels
Transport channels are available between the MAC layer and the PHY layer. Each transport

Channel Management - Physical channels
Physical channels perform coding, modulation, multi-antenna processing, and mapping of signals

UE Power-On and Network Access
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.
The UE obtains an IP address allocated by the network through an EPS attach procedure.

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.
Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page64
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.
Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page65
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.

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.
