First there is Frequency Range 1 (FR1), [1] which includes sub-7 GHz frequency bands, some of which are traditionally used by previous standards, but has been extended to cover potential new spectrum offerings from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz.

Explore the 5G NR frequency bands, focusing on FR1 (450-6000 MHz) and FR2 (24250-52600 MHz). Includes tables detailing band specifications and duplex modes like FDD and TDD.

In NR, there are roughly two large frequency range specified in 3GPP. One is what we usually call (sub 6 Ghz) and the other is what we usually call millimeter wave. Depending on the ranges, the maximum bandwidth and subcarrier spacing varies.

5G NR Frequency Bands Based on 3GPP 38.101, following frequency bands will be used in 5G New Radio. The channel arrangements presented in this clause are based on the operating bands and channel bandwidths defined in the present release of specifications.

Information on frequency bands for 5G is contained in chapter 5 of the 3GPP TS 38.104 specification. FR1 consist of Frequency operating bands for 5G NR below 7125 MHz (410 MHz – 7125 MHz). FR2 consist of Frequency operating bands 5G NR FR2-1 (24250 MHz – 52600 MHz) and FR2-2 (52600 MHz – 71000 MHz).

• There are two frequency ranges supported in 5G NR viz. FR1 and FR2. • FR1 supports frequencies below 6 GHz whereas FR2 supports frequencies above 6 GHz (i.e. mmwave range). • FR1: Frequency range is from 450 to 6000 MHz

Jun 24, 2020 · 5G NR includes several low and mid-frequency bands in the sub-7 GHz range, defined as FR1, as well as higher frequency bands above 24 GHz, defined as FR2/mmWave. 5G frequency includes all previous cellular spectrum and additional spectrum in the sub-7 GHz frequency range and beyond.

Jun 23, 2024 · Frequency Range I (FR1) encompasses the spectrum from 450 MHz to 6 GHz. This range includes a variety of operating bands that support multiple duplex modes, such as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), Time Division Duplex (TDD), Supplemental Downlink (SDL), and Supplemental Uplink (SUL).

Apr 16, 2018 · In FR1, Sub-carrier spacing takes either of 15/30/60 kHz unlike 15 kHz in LTE and the Channel bandwidth is scalable from 5 MHz to 100 MHz unlike 1.4/3/5/10/20 MHz in LTE. Below are the N RB values w.r.t each Channel bandwidth and SCS.

May 25, 2023 · 5G NR operates in two main frequency ranges, known as FR1 and FR2. FR1 consists of sub-6 GHz frequencies, while FR2 comprises millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies ranging from 24 GHz to 100 GHz. The choice of frequency range significantly impacts the network’s coverage, capacity, and performance.
