Spectrum bandwidth used in simu5G

[lexsawada11]

Hi developers,

Thanks for addressing my previous question. Can you help enlighten me on the spectrum bandwidth used for each of the carrier frequency in .carrierAggregation.componentCarrier[*].carrierFrequency that are being set? Is there any way for me to change the spectrum bandwidth?

Thank for your advise.

Hello,

you can use the *.carrierAggregation.componentCarrier[*].numBands parameter to change the spectrum bandwidth. The parameter sets the number of available Resource Blocks in the given component carrier. For example, numBands=25 means 5 MHz, 50 means 10 MHz, 100 means 20 MHz, and so on.

Best regards. Giovanni

hi giovanninardini Besides the way of changing *.carrierAggregation.componentCarrier[*].numBands to adjust the bandwidth, has any other methods to change the bandwidths ? in my simulation there's just one cell to observe performance under different bandwidth, and i do not prefer to deploy CarrierAggregation

thank for you advise

Hello, I am not sure I fully understand your question. If you want to change the bandwidth of your cell, you need to use the numBands parameter. The fact that it is a parameter of the carrierAggregation module does not mean that you are deploying carrier aggregation. In fact, if you set just the parameter numComponentCarrier = 1 in the carrierAggregation module, then you are actually simulating a scenario without carrier aggregation.

Hope this answers your question.
