Hi Experts.

We are working on running 5G NSA with b40 (2300-2340mhz).

We have some issue, could you please help us:
1- Which arfcndl and arfcnul should be?
2- And what frequency dl and ul?

The band is TDD.

For 5G NSA, you need to define BW, ARFCN and GCN.

It’s different as for 4G where we would define BW and ARFCN only.

Thanks.

How define GCN please?

Vendor is Ericsson.

For Huawei, to ADD NRDUCELL, you need all 3.

The GCN is a unique number same as ARFCN which would define the location of the SSB.

Basically we can have a 100 MHz BW with ARFCN 666666 and gcn of 7240.

All these three numbers needs to be calculated.

What’s the meaning of DL and UL frequency?

It is TDD band DL and UL frequency will be same.
