A frame has duration of 10 ms which consists of 10 subframes having 1ms duration each similar to LTE technology . Each subfame can have 2μ slots. Each slot typically consists of 14 OFDM symbols.
Read moreWhat is physical layer in 5G NR?
PHY layer sits at the bottom of the 5G NR protocol stack, interfacing to MAC sublayer higher up via transport channels . It provides its services to MAC and is configured by RRC . PHY supports downlink ( gNB -to- UE ), uplink ( UE -to- gNB ) and sidelink ( UE -to- UE ) communications.

Read moreWhat is resource block in 5G NR?
In 5G, One NR Resource Block (RB) contains 12 sub-carriers in frequency domain similar to LTE . In LTE resource block bandwidth is fixed to 180 KHz but in NR it is not fixed and depend on sub-carrier spacing.24 Nis 2019
Read moreIs OFDM a modulation?
OFDM in its primary form is considered as a digital modulation technique , and not a multi-user channel access method, since it is used for transferring one bit stream over one communication channel using one sequence of OFDM symbols.
Read moreWhy OFDM is used in 4G?
Using multiple carriers, each carrying a low data rate, OFDM is ideal for high speed data transmission because it provides resilience against narrow band fading that occurs as a result of reflections and the general propagation properties at these frequencies .
Read moreHow does LTE calculate PRB?
Physical Resource Block (PRB) = 2*Resource Block = 12 Subcarriers x 14 OFDM in 1ms . RE can deliver 2, 4, 6, 8 bits in QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM respectively. If we calculate for 64QAM as 6bits since 256QAM not widely spread (check Samsung S7 in T-Mobile). 20MHz ==> 100 PRB ==> 100*168*1000 = 16,800,000 RE in 1 s.
