5G New Radio Resources

There is no too big difference in radio part with comparing LTE and it is similar to it with some changes (enhanced, major). Multiple OFDM subcarrier spacing is supported in 5G. It is called “Numerology”. In LTE it was just 15 kHz. Unlike previous posts, this time only graphics will be shared which are most effective to understand different subcarrier spacing, symbols and different transmission time intervals. Each band has its own minimum scheduling period, slot length and bandwidth.
