PDCCH
The PDCCH carries downlink control information (DCI). The DCI includes:
• Downlink grants
Including information such as PDSCH resource indication, modulation and coding schemes (MCSs), and HARQ
processes. DCI formats such as format 1_0 and format 1_1 are supported.
• Uplink grants
Including information such as PUSCH resource indication and MCSs. DCI formats such as format 0_0 and format
0_1 are supported.
• Power control commands
PUSCH power control commands for a set of UEs as a complement to the PUSCH and physical uplink control
channel (PUCCH) power control commands in uplink grants.

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 12
PDCCH
According to New Radio (NR) specifications, the PDCCH
occupies the first one to three symbols of a slot in the time
domain and supports full bandwidths in the frequency
domain.
The figure on the right shows the PDCCH. Each grid
represents an RE.

A control channel element (CCE) is the smallest resource unit for PDCCH symbol
PDCCH transmissions. One CCE contains six resource element RE

groups (REGs) and one REG corresponds to one resource block


(RB) in the frequency domain.
DMRS
1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs can be aggregated on a PDCCH according REG
to NR specifications. The aggregation level indicates the number of
CCEs a PDCCH occupies. For example, aggregation level 1 CCE
indicates that the PDCCH occupies one CCE and aggregation level
2 indicates that the PDCCH occupies two CCEs.

PDCCH Resource Management
 PDCCH resource management involves:
 PDCCH time-frequency resources

 PDCCH aggregation level selection

 PDCCH resource allocation

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 14
PDCCH Time-Frequency Resources
5G RAN2.0:
• PDCCH position in the time domain: The PDCCH is mapped to the downlink slot and self-contained slot
(transmitting uplink and downlink symbols). By default, the PDCCH starts from the first symbol. The current
version supports one or two symbols, which can be specified by the NRDUCellPdcch.OccupiedSymbolNum
parameter.

• PDCCH position in the frequency domain: mapped to full bandwidths in granularity of CCEs by default. When
the PDSCH rate-match function is effective, the PDCCH and PDSCH share symbols and the frequency-
domain range occupied by each PDCCH symbol for a cell can be configured using the
NRDUCellPdcch.OccupiedRbNum parameter.

• The NRDUCellPdcch.UlMaxCcePct parameter specifies the percentage of available uplink CCEs to


available downlink CCEs for slots where DCI is simultaneously transmitted in the uplink and downlink.

PDCCH Aggregation Level Selection

 The gNodeB modifies the PDCCH aggregation level based on


CQI-indicated channel quality and then the PDCCH BLER.
 If the PDCCH BLER is greater than the target BLER, the gNodeB
increases the aggregation level to improve PDCCH coverage
performance.

 If the PDCCH BLER is less than the target BLER, the gNodeB lowers
the aggregation level to reduce the PDCCH resource usage.

 The target PDCCH BLER can be adjusted using the


NRDUCellRsvdParam.RsvdU8Param15 parameter.

PDCCH Resource Allocation

 Common search space and UE-specific search space are involved on a PDCCH. Common search space corresponds
to common message scheduling. UE-specific search space corresponds to UE-specific data scheduling.

 The number of blind detections in the common search space is predefined by the protocol. The UE-specific search
space is configured through signaling messages. The number of blind detections cannot exceed the upper limit defined
in the protocol.

 The gNodeB allocates CCE resources to UEs. The start resource position is determined based on the protocol-defined
candidate position (such as UeId, slotNumber, PDCCH blind detection range), aggregation level, and number of blind
detections.

PUCCH Resource Allocation
 The gNodeB allocates resource sets (a maximum of four sets) to a UE through
the higher-layer RRC IE. Each resource set includes eight PUCCH resources,
with each including configuration information such as the time-frequency position,
index ID, start symbol, and symbol quantity.
 In format 2 and format 3, each resource includes the number of RBs.

 In format 1 and format 4, each resource includes code division multiplexing information.

 The gNodeB allocates one set of idle PUCCH resources to a UE to send HARQ
based on PDSCH scheduling, and sends DCI to inform the UE of the resource
set index ID.

 The gNodeB allocates fixed time-frequency resources to the UE for sending SRs.

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 23
HARQ-ACK
 A UE uses a HARQ-ACK to report whether PDSCH decoding
succeeds.
 If the UE successfully receives data from the gNodeB, it sends an ACK.

 If the UE fails to receive data from the gNodeB, it sends a NACK.

 PUCCH RBs need to be allocated to UEs for sending HARQ-ACKs.

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 24
Static SRI Reservation
 A UE uses an SRI to request an uplink bandwidth from the
gNodeB.

 The gNodeB uses static PUCCH resource allocation and


reserves SRI resources in the PUCCH resources.

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 25
CSI (CQI/PMI/RI)
 CSI (CQI/PMI/RI) indicates downlink channel quality. The
gNodeB controls CSI reporting of UEs. UEs report CSI to
the gNodeB over the PUSCH in event-triggered mode.
 CQI: whether CQI is included in CSI is determined by the
gNodeB.

 PMI: whether PMI is included in CSI is determined by the


gNodeB.

 RI: whether RI is included in CSI is determined by the gNodeB.

SRS–Overview
 SRS refers to uplink sounding signal. In this version, a UE sends an SRS within the activated
bandwidth part (BWP). The gNodeB receives and processes the SRS, and measures the signal to
interference plus noise ratio (SINR), reference signal received power (RSRP), and PMI of the SRS.
Then, the gNodeB determines the functions for which the information is used based on the value of
usage in SRS-Config contained in the SRS (usage can only be set to codebook or antennaSwitching
in the current version).
Value of usage Function Description

codebook Uplink SU-MIMO/MU-MIMO  UEs weight data to be transmitted based on the PMI.
 The gNodeB performs uplink link adaptive (LA) based on the SRS
and sends the result to the UE to instruct the UE to send data.
Uplink beam management This function is used to select optimal receive beams on the gNodeB.
Uplink timing
antennaSwitching Downlink SU-MIMO/MU-  The gNodeB weights data to be transmitted based on the SRS
MIMO weight.
 The gNodeB performs downlink LA based on the SRS and uses the
LA result to send data.
Downlink beam management This function is used to select optimal transmit beams on the gNodeB for
serving downlink channels.

SRS Type
SRSs are classified into periodic, aperiodic, and semi-persistent SRSs.
 Periodic SRS
After receiving periodic SRS resource configuration data, a UE periodically sends
SRSs.
 Semi-persistent SRS
After receiving semi-persistent SRS resource configuration data, a UE periodically
sends SRSs only when the MAC CE is activated.
 Aperiodic SRS
After receiving aperiodic SRS resource configuration data, a UE sends SRSs
according to the DCI.

In this version, only periodic and aperiodic SRSs are supported.


 In low-frequency TDD, periodic SRSs are sent.
 In high-frequency TDD, aperiodic SRSs are sent.
 In low-frequency FDD, aperiodic SRSs are sent.

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page31
Cell-specific SRS Slot Configuration
 A cell-specific SRS slot includes time-domain resources used by all UEs in a cell
to transmit SRSs. In an NR system, the gNodeB obtains the number and positions
of slots for SRSs in a radio frame according to the timeslot allocation, and the
number and positions of SRS symbols available in the SRS slots.
 FDD
• When uplink spectrum sharing is disabled, slots 0 and 5 in a radio frame can be
configured for sending SRSs, which are transmitted over symbol 13 of these slots.
• When uplink spectrum sharing is enabled, slots in a radio frame for sending SRSs
are automatically adjusted based on the number of UEs. SRSs are transmitted
over symbol 13 of these slots.
 TDD
• 4:1 low frequency: Self-contained slots in a radio frame can be configured for
sending SRSs. Self-contained slots are numbered 3, 8, 13, and 18. SRSs are
transmitted over symbols 12 and 13 of these slots.
• 4:1 high frequency: Uplink only slots in a radio frame can be configured for
sending SRSs. Uplink only slots are numbered 14 and 54. SRSs are transmitted
over symbols 10, 11, 12, and 13 of these slots.
• 8:2 low frequency: Self-contained slots in a radio frame can be configured for
sending SRSs. Self-contained slots are numbered 7 and 17. SRSs are transmitted
over symbols 10, 11, 12, and 13 of these slots.

UE-specific SRS Bandwidth
 The UE-specific SRS bandwidth configurations include SRS bandwidths that can
be allocated to UEs in a cell. 3GPP specifications define a maximum of four SRS
bandwidths. The gNodeB selects a bandwidth configuration from the four
configurations. In this version, BW0 (depth = 1) or BW1 (depth = 2) is configured
for aperiodic SRSs. Aperiodic SRSs use BW2 (depth = 3) by default.

 The following is an SRS bandwidth tree, indicating that the SRS bandwidths for
UEs in a cell can be 32 RBs, 16 RBs, 8 RBs, or 4 RBs.

 The bandwidth tree depends on the BWP bandwidth.

UE-specific SRS Bandwidth Configuration
Bandwidth CSRS NRLoCellRsvdParam.Rs When this parameter is set to 255, CSRS is
configuration of vdU8Param58 the one corresponding to the maximum
periodic SRSs bandwidth of the UE-specific periodic SRS
(bandwidth for BSRS = 0) that is less than
and most close to the UE's BWP.
BSRS NRLoCellRsvdParam.Rsv When this parameter is set to 255, BSRS is 2.
dU8Param59
Bandwidth CSRS - CSRS is the one corresponding to the maximum
configuration of bandwidth of the UE-specific periodic SRS
aperiodic SRSs (bandwidth for BSRS = 0) that is less than and
most close to the UE's BWP.

BSRS - FDD low frequency bands: BSRS = 0


TDD high frequency bands: BSRS is determined
by the value of usage in the SRS-Config as
follows:
If the value of usage is codebook, BSRS is 2.
If the value of usage is antennaSwitching,
BSRS is 0.

UE-specific SRS Parameter Delivery
 UE-specific SRS parameters are carried in RRC signaling messages. Parameters related
to both periodic SRSs and aperiodic SRSs are contained in the same set of RRC signaling.
Periodic SRSs can be directly sent whereas aperiodic SRSs are triggered by DCI.

 In the NR system, multiple SRS resource sets can be configured for a UE and an SRS
resource set can contain multiple SRS resources. Resource configuration data of both
periodic SRSs and aperiodic SRSs is sent to UEs through the same set of RRC signaling
messages. Resources are configured in different sets with the resource type indicating
periodic or aperiodic.

 Each SRS is configured with "usage", whose value range is


{codebook,noncodebook,BeamManagement,antennaSwitching}. In this version, only
codebook (for uplink measurement) and antennaSwitching (SRS antenna polling for
downlink measurement) are supported.

Uplink Timing–Basic Principles
 Ensure that uplink data sent by UEs that are located from the gNodeB at different
distances reaches the gNodeB at the same time.

 The gNodeB delivers a TA adjustment command through the random access


response (RAR) or MAC Control Element (CE).

 The UE adjusts the time advance of uplink transmission relative to downlink


transmission based on the indicated TA adjustment amount.

 If a UE receives the TA adjustment command in slot n, it applies the TA


adjustment amount in slot n plus 6.

 If the gNodeB does not receive the TA value reported by Layer 1 within the TA
delivery period, the gNodeB instructs the UE to send an SRS to ensure that the
TA is obtained.

Random Access Functions
 During random access, the UE attempting to access the network sends
an access request to the gNodeB, and the gNodeB responds to the
request, allocating resources to the UE.

 Random access provides the following benefits (5G RAN2.0 does not
support beam recovery.):

1. Setting up uplink synchronization with the gNodeB

2. Requesting resources

3. Requesting SIs

4. Beam recovery

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 45
Random Access Scenarios and Types
 The following are random access scenarios and types. In 5G RAN2.0, case 8 is supported.

Index Random Access Scenario Random Access Type

Case 1 Initial RRC connection setup Contention-based random access


RRC connection
Case 2 Contention-based random access
reestablishment
Non-contention-based random access is the first choice. Contention-
Case 3 Handover
based random access is used when dedicated preambles are used up.
Non-contention-based random access is the first choice. Contention-
Case 4 Downlink data arrival
based random access is used when dedicated preambles are used up.
Case 5 Uplink data arrival Contention-based random access
A UE initiates contention-based RA to transit to a different state. Non-
State transition from
contention-based RA is the first choice if the gNodeB initiates state
Case 6 RRC_INACTIVE to
transition. Contention-based RA is used when dedicated preambles are
RRC_CONNECTED
used up.
Case 7 Requests for specific SIs Non-contention-based random access
NR cell addition in NSA
Case 8 Non-contention-based random access
networking
Case 9 Beam recovery Non-contention-based random access

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 46
Contention-based Random Access
Contention-based random access process
 Contention resolution is completed
through Msg3 and Msg4.
1. Msg3 includes the UE Contention
Resolution Identity (CRI), which is the TMSI
of the UE or a 48-bit random number. The
CRI varies with UEs.

2. After demodulating Msg3, the gNodeB


obtains the CRI and includes the CRI in
Msg4 sent to the UE. The UE checks
whether the CRI in Msg4 is consistent with
that in Msg3 to determine whether the
contention succeeds.

Copyright © 2018 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 47
Non-contention-based Random Access
Non-contention-based random access process

Unlike contention-based random


access, non-contention-based
random access involves preamble
assignment (step 0, this is because
dedicated preambles are required),
and does not involve contention
