# Procedure to add dedicated Bandwidth part (BWP) ## Contributed by 5G Testbed IISc ### Developers: Abhijith A, Shruthi S # Terminology # ## Bandwidth part (BWP) ## Bandwidth Part (BWP) is a set of contiguous Resource Blocks in the resource grid. Parameters of a BWP are communicated to UE using RRC parameters: BWP-Downlink and BWP-Uplink. A UE can be configured with a set of 4 BWPs in uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) direction (3GPP TS 38.331 Annex B.2 Description of BWP configuration options). But only 1 BWP can be active in UL and DL direction at a given time. # Procedure to run multiple dedicated BWPs # A maximum of 4 dedicated BWPs can be configured for a UE. To configure multiple BWPs, add the following parameters to the gNB configuration file under "servingCellConfigDedicated": ## Setup of the Configuration files ## ``` firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id = 1; #BWP-Id defaultDownlinkBWP-Id = 1; #BWP-Id firstActiveUplinkBWP-Id = 1; #BWP-Id ``` Each dedicated BWP must have: ``` # BWP 1 Configuration dl_bwp-Id_1 = 1; dl_bwp1_locationAndBandwidth = 28875; // RBstart=0, L=106 (40 MHz BW) # subcarrierSpacing # 0=kHz15, 1=kHz30, 2=kHz60, 3=kHz120 dl_bwp1_subcarrierSpacing = 1; ``` Find these parameters in this configuration file: "targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf" # Testing gNB and UE in RF simulator ## gNB command: ``` sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf --gNBs.[0].min_rxtxtime 6 --rfsim --sa ``` ## UE command: ``` sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem -r 106 --numerology 1 --band 78 -C 3619200000 --rfsim --sa --uicc0.imsi 208990000000001 --rfsimulator.serveraddr 127.0.0.1 ```
