Enabling usage of ulsyncvalidityDuration timer in SIB19
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration in SIB19 from Spec 38.331 v17.12 A validity
duration configured by the network for assistance information which
indicates the maximum time duration (from epochTime) during which the UE
can apply assistance information without having acquired new assistance
information. The unit of ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration is second. Value s5
corresponds to 5 s, value s10 indicate 10 s and so on.
ntn-UlSyncValidityDuration-r17 ENUMERATED{ s5, s10, s15, s20, s25, s30, s35,s40, s45, s50, s55, s60, s120, s180, s240, s900}
Implementation of epochtime is under discussion.
It can be configured in configuration file according to the above
enumeration. For GEO - 240s, MEO - 20s, LEO-5s can be used.
Configuration files: naming style guide
The configuration files should have the following name format:
<type>[.<sa|nsa>][.band<num>.[u<num>.]<num>prb].<sdr>[.<opt>].conf
Where:
[]means this field is optional<type>: one ofgnb,enb,gnb-cu,gnb-du,nrue,lteue, etc.<sa|nsa>: in the case of 5G, notes whether this is SA or NSA<num>forband/u/prb: numerical value. Note that band/PRB are only applicable in some cases. The numerologyuis only to be set for 5G if it differs fromu1.<sdr>: what SDR board/split this is tailored for:- e.g.,
usrpb210,usrpn310,rfsim,aw2s - if there is no SDR (e.g., for a CU), use the south-bound split, e.g.,
f1,if4p5, etc. - for the L2simulator, write
l2sim
- e.g.,
<opt>: optional specifiers. If there are multiple, concatenated using a dash (-). Examples:2x2prs(positioning reference signal)ddsuu(specific TDD pattern)tm2: Transmission Mode 2 in 4Goaiue: specifies usage with OAI UE and not COTS UE
Examples:
- standard monolithic gNB, 2x2 configuration, with SDAP:
gnb.sa.band78.162prb.usrpn310.2x2-sdap.conf - gNB-CU:
gnb-cu.sa.f1.conf - monolithic gNB, L2sim:
gnb.sa.band77.106prb.l2sim.conf - monolithic eNB:
enb.band7.25prb.usrpb200.conf - RCC (4G eNB with IF4.5 split):
enb-rcc.band7.25prb.tm1.if4p5.conf
Notes:
- there is no need for TDD/FDD, this is encoded in the band number
- there is no need for FR1/FR2, this is encoded in the band number
