What is synchronization in 5G?

Uplink Synchronization : This is the process in which UE figure out the exact timing when it should send uplink data (i.e, PUSCH / PUCCH). Usually a network (gNB) is handling multiple UEs and the network has to ensure that the uplink signal from every UE should be aligned with a common receiver timer of the network.

What is PSS and SSS in 5G?

PSS stands for Primary Synchronization Signal, SSS stands for Secondary Synchronization Signal and ESS stands for Extended Synchronization Signal. Radio frame in 5G-TF is 10ms in duration. It has total 100 slots or 50 subframes. Each subframe consists of two consecutive slots.

What is synchronization signal?

Transmission of a synchronizing signal along with the message signal is an approach in which the transmitter simultaneously sends a clock pilot at a multiple of symbol rate along with the information data, and the receiver then employs a very narrow BPF tuned to the clock frequency.

What is cell search in LTE?

Cell searching is a procedure in which a UE achieves time and frequency synchronization with a cell, obtains the physical cell identifier (PCI), and learns the signal quality and other information about the cell based on the PCI. A UE performs cell search on all frequencies before selecting or re-selecting to a cell.

What is SS burst in 5G?

SS burst is a set of SS blocks(SS/PBCH block) in a half subframe . we have seen few examples where in a half subframe there are multiple SS/PBCH blocks present . In CASE B example there are 8 SS/PBCH blocks (starting indexes 4,8,16,20,32,36,44,48) present in half frame . this set is called SS burst.
