R1-2212755        Summary of discussion on enhancements to operate NR on dedicated spectrum less than 5MHz  Moderator (Lenovo)

From Nov 15th session

Agreement

In an LS to RAN4, in addition to reuse 5 MHz channel bandwidth, RAN1 suppose only 3 MHz channel bandwidth is supported, and would like to get RAN4 responses on the maximum transmission bandwidth (the number of PRBs) for this channel BW.

 

Agreement

RAN1 would like to ask RAN4 if finer sync. raster for the 3MHz and/or 5MHz channel bandwidth is feasible, as well as any input from RAN1 for RAN4’s answer to this question.

 

Agreement

Before getting RAN4 responses, RAN1 assume maximum transmission bandwidth, 15RBs or 16RBs for 3 MHz channel BW for evaluation and analysis.

Note: include agreement into the LS

 

Agreement

Before getting RAN4 responses, RAN1 assume that the UE could know which RBs are used for SSB transmission after PSS/SSS is detected for evaluation and analysis.

Note: it does not mean indication signaling is needed.

Note: include this agreement into the LS.

 

 

R1-2212888        Summary#2 of discussion on enhancements to operate NR on dedicated spectrum less than 5MHz              Moderator (Lenovo)

From Nov 17th session

Agreement

Including following 2 questions into the LS

Question 1: RAN1’s understanding is that in addition to reuse 5 MHz channel bandwidth, RAN1 suppose only 3 MHz channel bandwidth is supported, and would like to get RAN4 responses on the maximum transmission bandwidth (the number of PRBs) for this channel BW

Question 2: RAN1 have discussed aspects related to synch raster in the spectrum of interest. RAN1 would like to ask RAN4 if finer sync. raster for the 3MHz and/or 5MHz channel bandwidth is feasible, as well as if RAN4 needs any input from RAN1.

 

R1-2212898        [Draft] LS on NR support for dedicated spectrum less than 5MHz for FR1               Nokia

Decision: From Nov 17th session, the draft LS to RAN4 R1-2212898 is endorsed in principle with the modified questions as agreed above and all agreements and conclusions made in RAN1#111. Final LS is approved in R1-2212919.

 

 

Agreement

For transmission bandwidths of <5MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth, a subset of PRBs of 20-PRB PBCH are used for PBCH transmission if the transmission BW of a channel is less than 20PRBs.

·        FFS which PRBs are used and how to use the PRBs

·        Note: PRBs for PSS/SSS are not punctured.

Agreement

For CORESET#0 configuration for transmission bandwidths <5 MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth, following options are for study,

·        Opt.1: Existing configuration table for 15kHz SCS, 5MHz minimum channel BW (i.e., table 13-1 in TS38.213) is reused for configuration

·        Opt.2: A new CORESET#0 configuration table is to be introduced for the configuration.

Conclusion

No enhancements are required for PRACH to operate NR on transmission bandwidths of <5MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth.

·        Note: PRACH formats and configurations not fitting into the transmission BW are not applicable

Agreement

Short PRACH formats with 15kHz SCS, and long PRACH formats with 1.25kHz SCS are supported for transmission bandwidths <5 MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth.

 

Conclusion

No enhancements are needed for PUCCH to support transmission bandwidths of <5MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth,

·        FFS: the necessity for PUCCH FH disabling.

Agreement

Study whether and how to recover PDCCH detection performance of CORESET#0 for transmission bandwidths of <5MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth. The following options are considered,

·        Opt.1: Power boosting

·        Opt.2: Non-interleaved CCE-to-REG mapping

·        Opt.3: A new interleaver to ensure PDCCH is fully mapped in the spectrum

·        Opt.4: New aggregation level(s) for fit in the spectrum

·        Opt.5: PDCCH rate matching

·        Opt.6.: no enhancement specified

Agreement

Study whether and how to recover PBCH detection performance for transmission bandwidths of <5MHz for 3MHz and 5MHz channel bandwidth. The following options are considered,

·        Opt.1: Power boosting

·        Opt.2: Multiple PBCH receptions

·        Opt.3: PBCH remapping

·        Opt.4: PBCH payload reduction

·        Opt.5: PBCH rate matching around the punctured PRBs

·        Opt.6: no enhancement specified

R1-2302132        Summary of discussion on enhancements to operate NR on dedicated spectrum less than 5MHz  Moderator (Lenovo)

From Thursday session

Agreement

 

Working Assumption

For transmission bandwidth[s] of <5MHz, for PBCH, in the case[s] that available PRBs for PBCH transmission are less than 20PRB,

·        PBCH based on RB-level puncturing (i.e., PBCH encoding is based on 20PRB. The encoded bits and DMRS are mapped to 20PRBs based on legacy SSB structure, and those PRBs that fall outside of available PRBs for PBCH transmission are punctured)

·        Note: No other optimization is needed
