Summary of Agreements by Topic:
PMCH Allocation of 6/7/8 MHz and Corresponding MBSFN
Reference Signals
- Bandwidth Allocation:
- PMCH bandwidth values of 6 MHz, 7 MHz, and 8 MHz are
supported.
- CAS bandwidth values of 25 PRBs (5 MHz) and 15 PRBs (3
MHz) are supported.
- Non-aligned PMCH bandwidth and system bandwidth are not
supported.
- Signaling of PMCH Bandwidth:
- PMCH bandwidth signaling is agreed to be per MBSFN area.
- Control Region in MBSFN Subframes:
- For 6/7/8 MHz PMCH bandwidth with 15 kHz SCS:
- The UE is not required to process the control region in
MBSFN subframes.
- Alternative approaches for control regions were
discussed:
- Alt 1: Control region has the same bandwidth as CAS.
- Alt 2: No control region in MBSFN subframes.
- Alt 3: Control region exists but its content is
undefined.
- Reference Signal Mapping:
- MBSFN reference signals are mapped to REs based on PMCH
bandwidth of 6/7/8 MHz.
- TBS Determination:
- TBS determination is based on PMCH bandwidth of 6/7/8
MHz.
- OFDM Signal Generation:
- N_RB^DL is replaced with N_RB^PMCH for PMCH symbols in
MBSFN areas with configured PMCH bandwidth.
- UE Reporting:
- If the UE receives a 6/7/8 MHz PMCH, it reports a
bandwidth of 10 MHz (mbms-Bandwidth = n50) and assumes Bc = 10 MHz.
Numerologies and Subcarrier Spacing
- 15 kHz SCS:
- 15 kHz SCS is supported for MBMS-dedicated cells.
- Further discussions are required to handle 15 kHz SCS for
6/7/8 MHz PMCH bandwidth.
Maintenance and Updates
- Rel-17 Enhancements:
- Maintenance discussions focused on updates to
specifications (e.g., TS 36.976 and TS 36.300).
- Endorsements were made for TP1 and TP2v2 updates.
- No Contributions:
- No new contributions were submitted for maintenance in
RAN1#109, RAN1#110, RAN1#111, and RAN1#112 sessions.
General Agreements
- Bandwidth Alignment:
- The center frequency of system bandwidth and PMCH
bandwidth must be aligned.
- Non-aligned center frequencies are not supported.
- Minimal Specification Impact:
- Agreements were made with the intention to minimize the
impact on existing specifications.
This summary consolidates the agreements across sessions and
topics related to new bands and bandwidth allocation for LTE-based 5G
terrestrial broadcast.
