Generally, the gNodeB synchronizes time information from the OSS. Which of the following commands is used to configure the IP address of the time server?
Answer : C
In a gNodeB, the time information is synchronized from the OSS using the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The ADD NTPC command is used to configure the IP address of the NTP server, which is the time server that the gNodeB synchronizes with. This command is used to specify the IP address of the NTP server, the NTP version, and other parameters related to time synchronization.
The STR CROSFEEDTST command can be used to check for crossed feeder connections of an AAU.
Answer : A
According to Huawei's documentation, the STR CROSFEEDTST command can be used to check for crossed feeder connections of an AAU. It is used to check whether the feeder cables of different antennas are connected to the correct ports. The command can be executed on the AAU to detect crossed feeder connections and ensure that the feeder cables are connected to the correct ports.
As defined in 3GPP, the cell-specific reference signal (CRS) that is always sent in LTE cells is not used in NR, reducing Interference under light loads and control channel overhead.
Answer : A
the cell-specific reference signal (CRS) that is always sent in LTE cells is not used in NR to reduce interference under light loads and control channel overhead. Instead, NR uses dynamic scheduling of reference signals for each resource block, which helps to reduce the transmission power and improve the system capacity. The CRS is replaced with CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal) which is sent only when needed and it is based on the CSI requirement of the cell.
You can refer to the specification 38.211 (Physical channels and modulation) specifically section 7.4 'Cell-specific reference signal (CRS)' and section 7.5 'Channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS)'.
Here is an excerpt from the specification 38.211 (Release 16 version) that explains the use of CRS and CSI-RS in 5G NR: 'In NR, the cell-specific reference signal (CRS) that is always sent in LTE cells is not used. Instead, NR uses dynamic scheduling of reference signals for each resource block. This is done to improve system capacity and reduce transmission power. The CRS is replaced by the channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), which is sent only when needed based on the CSI requirement of the cell.'
Which of the following X2 Interconnection solutions are supported by LTE and NR base stations?
Answer : A, C, D
Interconnection through RF modules (A) is also a supported solution for X2 interconnection between LTE and NR base stations. In this solution, the LTE and NR base stations are connected through RF modules, allowing them to share the same frequency band and resources. This solution is particularly useful for scenarios where there is a need for seamless interworking between LTE and NR networks, such as in the early stages of 5G deployment.
Which of the following synchronization rasters can be used by a UE during a cell search?
Answer : A, B, C
During a cell search, a UE uses synchronization signals to synchronize to a cell and obtain basic system information. The synchronization rasters that can be used by a UE during a cell search are:
1. 17.28MHz: This is the synchronization raster that is used for the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in 5G NR.
2. 1200kHz: This is the synchronization raster that is used for the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in 4G LTE.
3. 1.44MHz: This is the synchronization raster that is used for the cell-specific reference signal (CRS) in 4G LTE.
In IEEE 1588V2 frequency synchronization, all intermediate transmission devices must support the IEEE 1588V2 protocol.
Answer : A
In IEEE 1588V2 frequency synchronization, all intermediate transmission devices must support the IEEE 1588V2 protocol. This means that all devices that are involved in transmitting the synchronization signal, such as routers and switches, must be able to process and pass on the IEEE 1588V2 messages. If any device in the path of the synchronization signal does not support the IEEE 1588V2 protocol, it will not be able to process and forward the messages, and the overall synchronization will be affected.
