concept's

allocatio

SSB and
positioni

One of
the
major
develop
ment in
NR
compare
d to LTE
is
location
on Sync
signals
on the
Bandwid
th part,
In LTE it
is
straight
forward
Sync
signals
are
statically
located
around
DC
carrier
(Center 6
PRBS/72
SC's) .

However
in NR
location
of Sync
Signals
(SSB) is
not fixed
and can
be
located
any
where
across
the
Carrier
Bandwid
th,
In below
example
for n41
(2.5Ghz)

Ghz ,I
have put
together
how TD
& FD
resource

allocated
for SSB
and how
