Summary of Agreements by Topic
Channel Bandwidths (3MHz and 5MHz)
- Transmission Bandwidths:
- For 3MHz channel bandwidth, maximum transmission
bandwidth is assumed to be 15 PRBs or 16 PRBs for evaluation and
analysis.
- For 5MHz channel bandwidth, 20 PRBs CORESET#0
transmission bandwidth is supported, with the upper 4 PRBs of the 24 PRBs
CORESET#0 punctured to obtain 20 PRBs.
- PBCH Transmission:
- For transmission bandwidths <5MHz, PBCH encoding is
based on 20 PRBs, and PRBs outside the available bandwidth are punctured.
- For 3MHz channel bandwidth, PBCH transmission bandwidth
is 12 PRBs.
- CORESET#0 Configuration:
- For 3MHz channel bandwidth:
- Both 12 PRBs and 15 PRBs CORESET#0 are supported.
- Interleaved and non-interleaved CCE-to-REG mapping are
supported.
- For 5MHz channel bandwidth:
- Only interleaved CCE-to-REG mapping is supported.
- Maximum number of CORESET#0 symbols is 3, and minimum is
2.
- PRB Offset:
- For 12 PRBs CORESET#0 transmission bandwidth, PRB offset
= 0.
- For 15 PRBs CORESET#0 transmission bandwidth, PRB offset
= 0 or 2, with further study on offsets 1 and 3.
Synchronization Raster
- Finer Sync Raster:
- RAN1 requested RAN4 to evaluate the feasibility of finer
synchronization raster for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidths.
- New Sync Raster Points:
- For 3MHz channel bandwidth:
- At sync raster point 920.73MHz (GSCN 41637 on band
n100), UE supports 12 PRB BWP.
- For other sync raster points, UE supports 15 PRB BWP.

- PRACH:
- No enhancements required for PRACH to operate on
transmission bandwidths <5MHz.
- Short PRACH formats with 15kHz SCS and long PRACH formats
with 1.25kHz SCS are supported.
- PUCCH:
- No enhancements needed for PUCCH to support transmission
bandwidths <5MHz.
- Study on the necessity of PUCCH frequency hopping
disabling.
Initial Access
- SSB and CORESET#0 Multiplexing:
- SSB and CORESET#0 multiplexing pattern 1 is used.
- REG bundle size = 6.
- Initial Downlink BWP:
- If UE is not provided initialDownlinkBWP:
- For 12 PRBs CORESET#0 transmission bandwidth, initial DL
BWP has 12 PRBs.
- For 15 PRBs CORESET#0 transmission bandwidth, initial DL
BWP has 15 PRBs.
CSI-RS/TRS
- CSI-RS for RRM Measurements:
- No enhancements needed for CSI-RS other than for RRM
measurements for transmission bandwidths <5MHz.
- TRS:
- No consensus in RAN1 to support enhancements for TRS for
dedicated spectrum <5MHz.
Backward Compatibility
- Inter-Frequency Neighbor Cells:
- RAN1 to send an LS to RAN2 (cc RAN4) on backward
compatibility issues for inter-frequency neighbor cell lists for single
carrier operation in NR dedicated spectrum <5MHz.
General Agreements
- No Enhancements Required:
- No enhancements required for PRACH, PUCCH, and CSI-RS/TRS
for transmission bandwidths <5MHz.
- No intention to change the WID scope and TU.
- Legacy Configurations:
- kssb follows legacy configuration for determining
CORESET#0 position in the frequency domain.
- Editor Notes:
- Text proposals for TS 38.211 and TS 38.300 were endorsed
for specification revisions.
This summary captures the key agreements across various
topics related to NR support for dedicated spectrum less than 5MHz for FR1.
