3 Overview
This document describes the 5G NR radio frame structure, and describes the PHY parameter configurations related to the TDD system and FDD
system. For the TDD system, with the specific subcarrier spacing, operators can modify the slot types of radio frames and the proportions of UL,
DL, and GP symbols in flexible slots to adapt to business development requirements. For the FDD system, operators can modify the subcarrier
spacing configuration to meet the requirements in different business scenarios.
As specified in the 3GPP TS 38.211:
1 Each radio frame is 10 ms long, consisting of 10 subframes, and each subframe is 1 ms long. Each subframe of the FR1 contains 2
timeslots, see Figure 1, and each subframe of the FR2 contains 8 timeslots, see Figure 3.
2 Compared with LTE, NR supports more flexible subcarrier spacing configurations, which are determined by the transmission
parameter set μ. The number of slots in each subframe varies with subcarrier spacing. For details, refer to Table 7.
3 For radio frames of the TDD system, the slot types and the number of UL symbols and the number of DL symbols in each slot can be
configured as required. The used 5G NR slot formats fall into three types: UL slots, DL slots, and flexible slots.
■ An uplink slot contains uplink symbols only.
■ A downlink slot contains downlink symbols only.
■ A flexible slot contains uplink symbols, downlink symbols, and Guard Period (GP) symbols.

The frequency bands above 6 GHz use the configurations of μ = 3 and μ = 4. The frequency bands below 6 GHz use the configurations of μ = 0, μ
= 1, and μ = 2.
This document mainly introduces the TDD system of the frequency band below 6 GHz (FR1 TDD), the TDD system of the frequency band above
6 GHz (FR2 TDD) and the FDD system of the frequency band below 1 GHz (FR1 FDD). For the FR1 TDD system, μ is fixed to 1 by default. For the
FR2 TDD system, μ is fixed to 3. For the FDD system, μ is fixed to 0 by default.

4 Slot Format Configuration
4.1 Principle
By modifying the slot format parameters, the 5G NR system supports 2.5 ms doubly periodic radio frame , 5 ms periodic radio frame, 2.5 ms
periodic radio frame with configuration as DDDSU, 3+2 ms doubly periodic radio frame, 2.5 ms periodic radio frame with configuration as
DSUUU and 1ms periodic radio frame with configuration as DS.
5 - 51
■ The 2.5 ms doubly periodic radio frame provides a larger ratio of uplink slots.
■ The 5 ms periodic radio frame provides a larger ratio of downlink slots.
■ The 3+2 ms dual period is divided into two types. The main difference is that the number of D timeslots is different from the number of U
timeslots. The 3+2 ms dual period (the type 1) ratio is DDDSUUDDDD, which is consistent with the ratio of 5 ms single period to
uplink/downlink timeslots) is 3+2 ms dual period (the type 2) ratio is DDDSUUDSUU).
■ The 2.5 ms periodical radio frame with configuration as DDDSU reduces the downlink slot ratio and increases the flexible slot ratio
based on the 5 ms periodical radio frame type.

■ The 2.5 ms periodic radio frame with configuration as DSUUU has more uplink slots which ocuppy 60%.
■ The radio frame structure of 1ms DS in a single period has a larger proportion of uplink timeslots.
In the 5G NR system, you can change the ratio of uplink symbols to downlink symbols and the number of GP symbols in the flexible slot of the
radio frame structure by modifying the following parameters: the number of uplink symbols, the number of downlink symbols, and the number
of GP symbols of the flexible slot.
■ Adjusting the ratio of uplink symbols to downlink symbols in the flexible slot make it possible to adapt to uplink and downlink service
requirements of operators.
■ Different number of GP symbols adapts to different cell radius.
The following sections describe five typical slot configurations.
4.1.1 FR1 TDD Slot Configuration
4.1.1.1 Doubly Periodical Slot Structure (2.5 ms)
FR1 TDD gNodeBs support the 2.5 ms doubly periodic frame structure, see Figure 4.
■ One radio frame consists of 20 slots.
■ Taking 5 ms (10 timeslots) as a period, the uplink slot allocation and downlink slot allocation in the first 2.5 ms and the second 2.5 ms of
the 5 ms are different.
Figure 5 shows the symbol structure of the flexible slot. In the default configuration, one flexible slot consists of 10 downlink symbols, 2 GP
symbols, and 2 uplink symbols.

None.
4.1.5 Impact Analysis
■ To meet the requirements of different carriers, different frame structures are required.
■ After GP symbols are added, the number of PDSCH symbols or the number of PUSCH symbols in the flexible slot may decrease, causing
the cell DL peak traffic or cell UL peak traffic to decrease.

■ The cell will automatically reset and the corresponding services will be interrupted after the following parameters are modified: the
radio frame type, or the number of UL symbols, the number of DL symbols, or the number of GP symbols of the flexible slot.

The DSUUU dynamic frame structure involves a lot of parameter changes. It is not recommended to manually configure the frame structure. It
is recommended that the DSUUU dynamic frame structure be generated by modifying the parameter set.
Detailed parameter configuration steps (Note: Unless otherwise specified, the path is: RAN Configuration Management> General Configuration
>MO Content >……)
The configuration steps are as follows:
Step 1: Configure the AAU function mode:
The parameter FunctionMode is configured as 5G TNR (100M_DynamicFrame_3U) [2181169153]
Path: ManagedElement>Equipment>ReplaceableUnit>FunctionMode
41 - 51
Step 2: Configure the VBP function mode:

The parameter FunctionMode is configured as VBPd: 5G FR2 TDD ECPRI mode 8NR (100 M) [32834]
Path: ManagedElement>Equipment>ReplaceableUnit>FunctionMode
Step 3: Modify the parameter suite on the UME:

The parameter BWPConfig_paramSuite is configured as mmWave_dsssu_100M[201]
path: RAN Configuration Management>Cell Management>ITRAN Multi BWP Config>BWPConfig_paramSuite
42 - 51
Step 4: Configure the long bitmap and the SSBlock beam coverage type on the UME:
The parameter longbitmap is configured as 0011000000110000001100000011000000110000001100000011000000110000.
Parameter ssblockBeamCoverType is configured as area coverage [11]
path: ManagedElement>NRRadioInfrastructure>NRPhysicalCellDU>CellDefiningSSB>SSBlock
Step 5: Modify the prach configuration on the UME:

The parameter prachConfigIndex is configured as 178
Path: ManagedElement>NRRadioInfrastructure>NRPhysicalCellDU>
PhyResourceConfigforBWPUL>RA>RachConfigGeneric>prachConfigIndex
43 - 51
Step 6: Modify the pdcch configuration on the UME:

Delete the BFR resources of the primary cell of the parameter searchSpaceId=2(Note: Delete the whole SearchSpaceId=2 content. In
principle, the BFR resources of searchSpaceId=2 will be automatically deleted after step 03).
Modify monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot of the primary cells of the parameter SearchSpaceId=2 =3 and 4 as 11100000000000
Path: ManagedElement >NRRadioInfrastructure>NRPhysicalCellDU>PhyResourceConfigforBWPDL>PDCCHconfig>SearchSpace
44 - 51
Step 7: Modify the pdcch configuration on the UME:

Modify the parameters of the secondary cell of the parameter SearchSpaceId =1.
monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot is 11100000000000
Path: ManagedElement>NRRadioInfrastructure>NRPhysicalCellDU>PhyResourceConfigforBWPDL>PDCCHconfig>SearchSpace
Step 8: Modify the TRS configuration on the UME:

The parameter slotOffset is configured as 55;65;80;95;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0.
The parameter csiRsBeamBitMap is configured as 8;8;8;8;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0.
Path: ManagedElement>NRRadioInfrastructure>NRPhysicalCellDU>PhyResourceConfigforBWPDL>CSIRS>TrackingRsCfg
45 - 51
Step 9: Modify the pucch configuration on the UME:

The parameter dlDataToULACK is configured as 3;4;5;6.
Path: ManagedElement >NRRadioInfrastructure>NRPhysicalCellDU>PhyResourceConfigforBWPUL>PUCCHConfig>dlDataToULACK
