What is Gscn?

Global Synchronisation Channel Number (GSCN). NR-ARFCN is applicable to the channel bandwidth. GSCN is applicable to the Synchronisation Signals / PBCH Block. NR-ARFCN uses a fine raster to provide flexibility. GSCN uses a coarse raster to reduce cell search times.

What is frequency raster?

The global frequency channel raster defines a set of RF reference frequencies . The RF reference frequency is used in signalling to identify the position of RF channels, SS blocks and other elements. The global frequency raster is defined for all frequencies from 0 to 100 GHz.

What are FR1 and FR2 bands?

FR1 defines bands in the sub-6 GHz spectrum (although 7125 MHz is the maximum) and FR2 defines bands in the mmWave spectrum . Because of the higher carrier frequencies in FR2, it has a higher maximum bandwidth. Bandwidths include 5-100 MHz (FR1) and 50/100/200/400 MHz (FR2).
