Hi Mike, the PRS upper frame grid is using a static value of PRS Index equal to 0, whereas the lower whole SFN view takes into account the PRS configuration Index input. This explains the difference. I am searching for a solution to fix that |

Hi Jacob, the 5 MHz bandwidth includes a guard band on both sides. We can use an effective bandwidth value of 4.68 MHz. For Band 1, the Freq offset is equal to 0, then Freq = Arfcn / 5. The lowest DL Arfcn is 10562, or a central frequency of 2112.4 MHz with 2.34MHz bandwidth on each side = [ 2110.06 .. 2114.74 ]. Same formula for the highest Arfcn 10838 |

Hi there. Great site. Just had a comment on the OTDOA. I was putting in some different settings and noticed that the grid view (PRB vs subFrames) showed PRS starting on subFrame 0 and then when I looked down the page at the view over whole SFN period of 1024 frames showed the PRS pattern starting in subFrame 1. just wanted to bring that to your attention. |

Hi there, have a question here. For UMTS band1, the first channel center frequency is 2112.4MHz which means the operating bandwidth is from 2110~2115MHz (backward 2.4MHz, forward 2.6MHz); the last channel center frequency is 2167.6MHz, and the operating bandwidth is from 2165~2170 (backward 2.6MHz, forward 2.4MHz). With a known center frequency, How could I determine the operating bandwidth? Backward 2.4MHz or 2.6MHz? |

Sur la page Frequency search, on peut chercher pour une frequence toutes les bandes en LTE, UMTS, ... Et il y aussi une possibilité d'exporter les tables utilisées pour le calcul. Si cela ne correspond pas ce que vous aimeriez trouver, vous pouvez m'envoyer par mail une description plus detaillee. Je regarderais. Cdlt |

Est ce que vous avez une api ? Si non, est ce que vous pourriez offrir ce genre de service ?
L'idée est d'avoir un moyen rapide d'avoir les informations sur une bande de fréquence (GSM, UMTS...) a travers un programme.
Merci d'avance

Hello,
LTE band 31 is more EALA than CALA although Brasil has shown interest in this frequency band. It was originally used in the Nordics for NMT450 where it was later replaced by CDMA450 which is now migrated to LTE450.
NMT450 was also used in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia etc. |

UE Categories |
There is mis-typed information within the Downlink Categories table, for downlink category 16 under "Maximum number of bits of a DL-SCH transport block received within a TTI" you have
149776 (4 layers, 256QAM)
It should read,
149776 (4 layers, 64QAM)
195816 (4 layers, 256QAM) |

Hi Mr Wad, nice to hear from you. Your LTE web pages are useful, with a good graphical design. I did not know how to contact you before doing a copy, and as you may have seen, I added on the web pages it was a copy from your previous web site. I can add your name as the author if you wish, and of course, I will remove the copy if you ask me to do so. Cheers. LG |

Hi. I noticed that this site has a copy of my original LTE resource grid and other tools. That's fine, because I had some bad luck with my old web hosts, and haven't yet found a solution that works for me. I do want to let you know that my web pages are still available at an awfully long Google Drive URL, which can be accessed via:
http://tinyurl.com/pewscorner (then select "LTE stuff" from the menu).
The full URL is:

The band numbers in the GSM table are wrong.
Number given in the table refer to the chapter number in 45.005.
Please align with UMTS and LTS bands or remove bands for GSM, to avoid confusions. |

Dears,
Maybe to be more precise about request on resource grid, it will be more than useful to take into consideration the new transmission mode TM9/10 which induces additional overhead on FDD LTE resource grid (TDD maybe ?).
Indeed, thanks to this new TM, it is possible to perform SU-MIMO 4xn & SU-MIMO 8xn using new reference signals (CSI-RS & DMRS). Hopefully, you will have enough time to add this request into the pipe :)
Cheers, the site is great !

Hi Mr student, it allows to break the link between UL and DL for the future categories. A device will declare a legacy category common for UL and DL, and may add a specific DL or UL cat. The additional UL/DL cat allows to define new 3GPP Release 12 categories, for instance category 0 for low complexity devices; it may be useful also to indicate new capabilities to the network like the support of UL 64QAM, or just indicate enhanced throughput either in DL or UL.The device should be compliant with the combinations set rules at the bottom of the page. Cheers |

Hi RFeng, interesting idea, as it may be useful for LTE Unlicensed. I have added a first page, and will expand it while reading some docs on WiFi |

Hello niviuk!
I wonder what is meaf of "Ue-categoryUL and DL" .
The combinations set Table makes me crazy.
could tell me more detail about categoryUL,DL! |

I changed to "AWS-1 +" so that AWS-3 can be used for the new band to come in the 3GPP. Please tell me if there is any other usual naming for B10 |

LTE Band 10 is mistakenly listed as AWS 1+3, but does not cover the entire gamut up to xx80 MHz. A new superset LTE band is required. |

Hi Gautam, the umts page is built from several include files. The freq/arfcn info is using a php array that you can export to Excel from this link http://niviuk.free.fr/wls_search.php. The formula to compute arfcn or frequency is displayed in an example at the bottom of the umts_band page. I think that with the export table and the formula, you have all the data to be able to generate the umts tables in any language |

I usually cross check the standardized/future CA pairs here: http://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/SpecVsWi--36101.htm |
09 02 2015 |
Disinto |
I'm in the telecom business and use your site nearly on a daily basis, especially for CA pairs. Two comments though:
- Can you specify which revision of TS36.101 you consider in your tables? (e.g. 3GPP 36.101 Rel12 June'14
- Would it be possible to have a spectrum graphical view segregated by low band, medium band and high bands? It'd help spotting overlaps more easily (i.e. B38/B41 and B28/B20)
Merci :) |

Have you thought about making a mobile app for your website?

One remark : China is no longer on B38 as MIIT finally decided that B41 would be the main profile for the 2.5 GHz band (just like Japan and US). So B38 is no longer for "China" as mentioned, and I would say that B38 is "EMEA" just like B7 (since they were designed together in the CEPT band plan) |

Hi, the site is in php, I don't know how to export in Excel ? Anyhow the formulas to calculate arfcn is easy to find. For LTE, ftp://www.3gpp.org/Specs/latest/Rel-11/36_series/ 36.101 §5.7.3, the downlink frequency FDL = FDL_low + 0.1(NDL – NOffs-DL). Cheers |

In the "Store" area of the site, you have mobile country codes listed and a "City" field. Most cities in that field are the capitols of their corresponding country. But I noticed you have "Belfast" listed for the UK. I believe it should be London.

A lot of job ! It would need to reorder the asn1 grammar. |
12 04 2013 |
Stefan Blomeier |
hello, it would be great in UMTS/WCDMA(FDD only) to see for some RRC/RB Configuratin and Reconfiguration messages the IE's in common and the different IE's. My favorite would be to compare ActiveSetUpdate, Cell Update Confirm, Radio Bearer Setup, Radio Bearer Setup, Radio Bearer Reconfiguration, Radio Bearer Release, Transport Channel Reconfiguration and Physical Channel Reconfiguration with each other. Then list all IE's common among the afore mentioned 8 RRC messages, then the IE's common between 7 RRC messages and the one RRC having different IE's, then IE's being the same between 6 RRC messages while listing the remaining IE's each of the 2 RRC Messages which are different, then follow up the IE's the 5 RRC messages have in common and list for the 3 RRC messages the IE's which differ and so on. The Idea is to show how redundant the RRC messages are resp. what IE's can be configured and reconfigured by any of the 8 RRC messages and finally also see what IE's are peculiar to certain RRC message(s). That is some sort of analysis about the sensefulness of all these RRC messages mentioned before. Cheers, Stefan |

Just FYI, the original iDEN 800 MHz SMR band is 806-825 MHz for TX, with RX 45 MHz above. So, if anything, it would be more appropriate to label LTE Band 27 as iDEN rather than Band 26...or delete all references to iDEN. |
05 01 2013 |

Answer to Stefan. The solution I found was to add a button to hide/unhide TDD and MBMS information in the ASN1 grammar. Cheers |

Answer to Neel. Bug fixed : In UMTS, channel search is now allowed in both uplink and downlink |
29 09 2012 |
Stefan Blomeier |
hello, just realized that MBMS is also a feature that up to know almost no Operator wants - except maybe in Japan or China. MBMS failed to get widely accepted. So it is rather nice to keep it separate in the ASN.1 code of WCDMA. As I already suggested to keep the entire TDD-ASN.1 separated from the WCDMA-FDD I would like to encourage also to keep the MBMS ASN.1 related messages and IE's separated. Moreover, TD-SCDMA is the only TDD version having survived, so I rather suggest to have a "chinese" LCR-TDD ASN.1 code. Note that also in Low-Chip-Rate TDD some channels like PDSCH and PUSCH are never used, similar in FDD. Maybe a clean-up of unnecessary ASN.1 IE's is advantageous to provide only the messages and IE's that are really used. That make searches in the WCDMA ASN. 1 simplier. However, there is a thin line between the fully beaty of exhausting information and keeping all stuff in WCDMA-ASN.1 and the practical usefulness. It is my personal opinion of course.
Stefan. |

Interesting idea. I have written a script that generates the html code from the 3GPP grammar, and it would require to filter the TDD IEs. No obvious filtering algo yet, I will look at it. |
23 09 2012 |
Stefan Blomeier |
hello,
it would be nice to split up the ASN.1 of UMTS RRC in two sections: A) UMTS FDD B) UMTS LCR (TD-SCDMA).
No country uses both versions of UMTS, except maybe China.
So it is rather simplier just see UMTS FDD messages and IE's without that TDD stuff.
You Web-page is cool - useful.
cheers, mate. |
