Simulation from Some Assumptions

Some Reasons of 5G having higher Spectral Efficiency  LTE PDCCH exist in every subframe, 5G introduce slot aggregation concept and it is not mandatory to have PDCCH in all TTI’s.  4G uses guard band of 10% where as in 5G use enhance technique F-OFDM which let 5G use more BW.  4G has 1 TBS where as in 5G use concept of CBG (code block group) which divide TBS in to small groups, as 5G use huge TBS and BLER is 10% which means with this TBS around 10% of data will be re transmitted where as with this technique techn ique in 5G UE will send NACK only for discarded group. 14

In 4G CRS is used to estimate channel and it is transmitted always in 4G whereas 5G tries to eliminate the use of CRS.  In 5G user specific DMRS used which mean each use will have its own RS within its allocation, if there is no allocation there is no RS. In 5G SSB(PSS/SSS.PBCH) block is always transmitted and this always has its own RS which can be used for cell selection..later UE will use its own RS and will have no issue 

Every subframe can be dynamically selected to carry UL or DL data. Flexible adaptation to DL/UL throughput requirements

Possibility to have control signals in every subframe for low latency scheduling. Support for selfcontained subframes

Multiple numerologies The most outstanding NR feature, when compared com pared to LTE, is the suport of multiple numerologies – multiple subcarrier subcarrier spacings

Subcarrier spacing is based on common 15 kHz base. Subcarrier spacing: f = 2 * 15 kHz where  (mju) defines the numerology. numerology.

3GPP defines gNB functionality: gNB

• •

A logical NG-RAN node providing NR user plane and control plane protocol terminations towards the UE (source 3GPP TS 38.300), gNB is divided into following logical entities:

gNB-CU

gNB-CU gNB -CU (CU – Cen Centra trall Unit) Unit) 

• •

A logical node hosting RRC, SDAP and PDCP pr otocols, and which controls the operation of one or more gNB-DUs

•

The gNB-CU also terminates F1 interface connected with the gNB-DU (source 3GPP TS 38.401)

gNB-DU (DU – Distr Distributed ibuted Unit) 

•

50

gNB

A logical node hosting RLC, MAC and PHY layers, and its operation, that is partly controlled by gNB-CU

•

One gNB-DU supports one or multiple cells. One cell is supported by only one g NB-DU

•

The gNB-DU terminates F1 interface connected with the gNB-CU (source 3GPP TS 38.401)
