HOW CAN A UE IDENTIFY A 5G CARRIER?
First action of UE looking for 5G cell: search for Synchronization Signals

SSB

frequency
SSB = SS/PBCH block

ı One SSB is always transmitted  the only Always-On signal in 5G NR!
ı The 5G NR UE uses the SSB for
 Synchronization
 System information (MIB/SIB) BWP: BandWidth Part:
 Cell and Beam quality measurements contiguous subset of physical resource
blocks within the overall carrier bandwidth
of a certain frequency spectrum
BANDWIDTH PARTS (BWP)
Motivation: Provide a flexible method to assign various numerologies to a device, thereby

adapting to different QoS requirements.
Up to four BWPs in DL/UL per UE:
ı Single BWP at a given time
(active BWP)
ı No reception of PDSCH or
PDCCH outside DL BWP
ı No Transmission of PUSCH
or PUCCH outside UL BWP
ı BWPs can be switched by RRC
(slow), DCI (fast) or based on
timers

SSB AND DIFFERENT BEAMS – „BEAMFORMING“
► Demodulation of the PBCH  determines the SSB index and
 distinguishes between the periodically broadcasted SSBs
► Each SSB uses different DM-RS embedded in the PBCH (FR1: PBCH in 3 OFDM symbols,
in each symbol PBCH DMRS sequence is initialized differently  23 = 8 options)
► Example: Case A with subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz and 8 SSB indices

► SS Bursts can also be repeated 0 1 2 3 m 0 1 2 3 m
SS burst 0 SS burst 1

 5G NR network measurements need to cope with high flexibility and configurability

5G NR: SIMPLE BEAMFORMING
Same PCI, different SSB indices
gNB uses SSBs to be mapped on

„static“ beams. PDSCH & PUSCH will
also follow SSB beam concept

5G NR: ENHANCED (UE SPECIFIC) BEAMFORMING
Same PCI, different SSB indices
+ UE specific CSI-RS for gNB uses SSBs to be mapped on
beamforming support „static“ beams.
PDSCH & PUSCH will be on UE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCANNER AND MOBILE PHONE:
THE “dB” LESSON
“1 dB is nothing, 2 dB is a lot!”
The decibel (symbol: dB) is a unit of measurement used to express the ratio of one
value of a power quantity to another on a logarithmic scale. It is called the power level.

 Scanner TSME6 / TSMA6 performs measurements per beam
 Scanner TSME6 / TSMA6 and ROMES support 5GNR beamforming from day 1

BANDWIDTH OF NETWORK SCANNER (THE 100 MHz QUESTION)
 20 MHz – the most efficient choice for RF frontend
ı 5G NR offers higher bandwidths, but:
ı All SSB below 6 GHz fit into 20 MHz bandwidth
€$
ı There is no other always-on signal in 5G NR downlink than the SSB
ı Spectrum measurements over the whole frequency range (spectrum scan,
Automatic Channel Detection) are done with 20 MHz frontend since years
ı SSB measurement in mmWave frequencies (120 and 240 kHz subcarrier spacing)
with one 20 MHz scanner frontend using fast frequency hopping
ı Better noise figure than 100 MHz frontend
ı Better receiver sensitivity
ı Best approach for multi-technology measurements (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G)
 All important 5G NR network measurements are done using a 20 MHz scanner frontend

HOW TO FIND THE SSB EASILY?
5G NR SCANNER – AUTOMATIC CHANNEL DETECTION (ACD)
Often the SSB frequency is
not exactly known before
executing 5G NR
measurements.
5GNR SSB
 The 5G NR ACD automatically finds the SSB by detecting:
ı SS-Ref frequency of 5G NR cell-defining SSBs following GSCN raster (3GPP compliant)
ı Cell-defining SSBs which are apart from the GSCN channel raster
ı The transmission case (number of SSBs) is determined by the SS-Ref

MAIN TAKE-AWAY –
COVERAGE
► Expected UE sensitivity: -125dBm SS-RSRP
~ 6.5km distance
~ -120 dBm (SS-RSRP)
-110dBm SS-RSRP
► Suburban area (3.7 GHz)
► Surprisingly good SSB

coverage
► Static SSB beamforming
 -100dBm SS-RSRP
allows for long radio range -90dBm SS-RSRP
 Operators can try to reuse gNodeB

site grid ?

QUESTIONS: CAN WE MAP THE SSB INDICES ON BEAMS?
HOW DOES BEAMFORMING WORK?
Heat map
► First approach: Beam switch PCI switch (e.g. SS-RSRP)
Assumption: Each SSB index can be

mapped to a certain beam PCI
Strongest SSB index

is shown
► How to analyze that?
Use the ROMES4 map feature and

display the strongest SSB index on a map

SSB / BEAMFORMING
VERIFICATION Same PCI, different SSB indices
► Best received SSB index /

beam visualized on the map
► Surprisingly good match with

horizontal “micro sectors”

(SSB beam indices)
► 3.7 GHz, sub-urban

environment
gNodeB

MILLIMETER WAVE NETWORKS - BEAMFORMING AT ITS BEST
► Massive number of antenna elements („massive MIMO“)  max. 64 SSB beams
► Ultra precise beamforming with flexible beam width for FR2
► SW controlled phased array antenna
Closer to gNB
Less gain, wider beam
More gain, narrow beams e.g. 25° downtilt
e.g. 10° downtilt
