R1161800 Draft Agenda of RAN1 NBIoT AdHoc Meeting RAN1 Chair
1.1 Call for IPR
I draw your attention to your obligations under the 3GPP Partner Organizations' IPR policies. Every Individual Member
organization is obliged to declare to the Partner Organization or Organizations of which it is a member any IPR owned by
the Individual Member or any other organization which is or is likely to become essential to the work of 3GPP.
The attention of the delegates to the meeting of this Technical Specification Group was drawn to the fact that 3GPP Individual
Members have the obligation under the IPR Policies of their respective Organizational Partners to inform
their respective Organizational Partners of Essential IPRs they become aware of.
The delegates were asked to take note that they were thereby invited:
 to investigate whether their organization or any other organization owns IPRs which were, or were likely to become
Essential in respect of the work of 3GPP.
 to notify their respective Organizational Partners of all potential IPRs, e.g., for ETSI, by means of the IPR Statement
and the Licensing declaration forms (http://www.etsi.org/WebSite/document/Legal/IPRForms.doc ).
2 E-UTRA
2.1 NB-IoT
WID in RP152284.
The objective is to specify a radio access for cellular internet of things, based to a great extent on a nonbackward
compatible variant of EUTRA, that addresses improved indoor coverage, support for massive number of low throughput
devices, low delay sensitivity, ultra low device cost, low device power consumption and (optimised) network
architecture.

R1162021 WF on PRB indexing in MIB for NBIoT inband operation Ericsson, LG
R1162059 WF on MIB content ZTE, Ericsson, MediaTek, Intel

Revision of R1162031
Agreements:
• The MIB payload size for all operation modes is the same.
– The exact size should be decided by RAN2 but should be no more than 34 bits without CRC
• The interpretation of the bits depends on the operation mode
– For inband with the same PCI indicator set to false, number of LTE CRS antenna ports is signaled
using one bit, i.e., either the same as number of ports used by NBRS or 4.
• For inband with the same PCI indicator set to false and guardband, the raster offset is signaled using two bits
for {2.5,2.5,7.5,7.5}

Agreements:
• Confirm the working assumptions
– The start of an NBPDCCH search space is >=4ms after the end of the last NBPDCCH search space
– The start of NBPDSCH transmission is >=4ms later than the end of its associated DL assignment
Qualcomm has concerns that this agreement will put a limitation for the achievable peak rate and impact to UE power
consumption
Telecom Italia confirms that the achievable peak rate is in line with the current WID requirement and the impact on UE
power consumption is negligible
A greement:
DCI content:
 Number of repetitions of NBPDCCH:
- 2 bits (except for CSS for paging)
- 3 bits for CSS for paging
 Scheduling delay between end of NBPDCCH transmission and start of data transmission:
- 3 bits for NBPDSCH (except for CSS for paging)
- 0 bits for paging
- 2 bits for NBPUSCH
 Values are FFS.
Agreement:
Start of PDCCH search space:
 Signalled by RRC with 3 bits for each search space except for CSS for paging
R1162067 WF on reference point of NBPDSCH/NBPUSCH Panasonic, Mediatek, Interdigital, Sony,

DOCOMO, Ericsson, Sierra
Proposal:
• Reference point of scheduling delay
– Alt 2. From the start of NBPDCCH search space
– The starting timing of NBPDSCH is indicated from the start of NBPDCCH search space by 4 bits.
– The possible starting times of NBPDSCH are uniformly distributed as ceiling (Rmax/8) after (the
start of NBPDCCH search space + 4ms).
• The starting timing of NBPUSCH is indicated from the start of NBPDCCH search space by 4 bits.
• The possible starting times of NBPUSCH are uniformly distributed as ceiling (Rmax/8) after (the start of NB
PDCCH search space + 8ms).

R1162060 Summary of NBPUSCH Subcarrier Allocation Huawei, HiSilicon
Agreements:
 5 bits in UL grant are used to jointly indicate the subcarrier number and starting subcarrier for NBPUSCH
transmission with 15 kHz subcarrier spacing. The total number of valid NBPUSCH allocations for {12, 6, 3,
1} tone transmission formats and 15 kHz numerology is the sum of
1. One allocation of all 12 tones: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}
2. Two nonoverlapping allocations of 6 tones: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
3. Four nonoverlapping allocations of 3 tones: {0, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8} and {9, 10, 11}
4. Twelve nonoverlapping singletone allocations: {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7}, {8}, {9}, {10},
{11} and {12}
 6 bits in UL grant are used to indicate the subcarrier index for NBPUSCH transmission with 3.75 kHz
subcarrier spacing (48 nonoverlapping singletone allocations).
Agreements:
• The set of options for the max number of repetitions in an NBPDCCH search space is the same for all search
spaces
– Rmax is from: {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048}
R1162008 WF on NBPDCCH Huawei, HiSilicon

R1162015 WF on NBPDCCH Huawei, HiSilicon
R1162030 WF on DL Transmission Gap for NBIoT Ericsson, Intel, Sony, ZTE

Working Assumption:
• At least for UEs in extreme coverage (FFS how the UE knows its coverage level for the purpose of knowing
which gap configuration applies, if any), for transmission in downlink which requires large number of
repetitions, DL gaps can be introduced during the repetitions of NPDSCH and NPDCCH
– Note: During a DL gap, UEs other than those configured with the particular gap can receive their
NPDSCH and/or NPDCCH
– Gap configuration is provided by SIB signaling
• Configuration information is composed of a subset of the following:
• Gap enable/disable, Gap starting point (periodicity, offset), Gap size, number of
Gaps for Rmax repetitions
• Exact subset is FFS.
• FFS how many gap configurations are needed
• For a given UE, the subframes designated as DL gap are treated as invalid DL subframes for the given UE
– Invalid subframe means: When overlapping with a DL gap, PDCCH and PDSCH repetitions are FFS
(until RAN1#84bis)
• either postponed to the next valid DL subframe
• or skipped
• Note that these gaps do not apply in Idle Mode.
• Note that this does not impact downlinkuplink timing relationships
Email agreement until Thursday 31st March to close FFS points in the first main bullet. When all RRC details are agreed
for these gaps, working assumption for the first main bullet will automatically be confirmed.

Agreements:
• PDCCH order is always received in the UEspecific SS
• After receiving Msg.4 (random access procedure success),
• if the UE cannot be RRC reconfigured
• UE uses the previous configured dedicated RRC configuration (e.g. it monitors the USS in
the previously configured PRB)
Agreements:
• Any combination, i.e., inband+inband, inband+guardband, and guardband+guardband should be allowed for
NBIoT multicarrier operation with the constraint that both guardbands and the inband are associated with
the same LTE donor cell, i.e., the total span cannot exceed 110 PRBs from the same FFT
• No support of NBIoT multicarrier operation for standalone mode with either guardband or inband mode of
operation
R1162057 WF on NBIoT MultiCarrier Operation in Standalone Mode Intel Corporation, MediaTek, Ericsson,

ZTE, Sony, Fujitsu
Agreement:
• Standalone+standalone should be allowed for NBIoT multicarrier operation with the constraint that the total
frequency span cannot exceed 20MHz and both NBIoT carriers are synchronized, i.e., the time alignment
error shall not exceed the minimum requirement for intraband contiguous carrier aggregation in TS 36.104
• Send an LS to RAN4 to ask if they have any concerns with this
Agreements:
• On PRBs different than the NBIoT carrier on which the UE has received NBPSS/SSS, NBPBCH and SIB
transmissions, the NBIoT UE does not rate match around NBPBCH and NBPSS/SSS, i.e., the mapping of
NBPDCCH/PDSCH symbols to REs occurs without consideration of NBPSS/SSS/PBCH

R1162029 WF on Starting Subframe of Paging CSS for NBIoT Ericsson

Agreements:
• Use the same mechanism to define {PF, PO} for paging CSS for inband, standalone, and guard band
operations
• Starting subframe of paging CSS is determined by (PF, PO)
• Starting subframe of paging CSS is further determined by the following:
• Use the existing PO paging subframe pattern
• If the subframe SF0 determined by {PF, PO} is a valid DL subframe, then the subframe SF0 is the
starting subframe of the paging CSS.
• If the subframe SF0 determined by {PF, PO} is NOT a valid DL subframe, then the first valid DL
subframe after SF0 is the starting subframe of the paging CSS
• Valid DL subframe above refers to subframes NOT occupied by NPBCH, NPSS, NSSS and NSIB1
and not indicated as invalid in a SIB1
• FFS whether and how subframes can be indicated as invalid
• Note that this definition of valid is specific for the context of this agreement.

Deutsche Telekom AG
Proposal:
• NBPSS is generated by two root1 ZadoffChu (ZC) sequences: NBPSS1 and NBPSS2
– NBPSS1 and NBPSS2 are complex conjugate of each other
– Both NBPSS1 and NBPSS2 span 11 OFDM symbols
• The NBPSS1 and NBPSS2 generation procedure follows the alternative implementation of the longsequence
design for TS36.211 in the Appendix of R1161957.
Between the short sequence proposals:
• Details on 11 root sequence indices on 11 OFDM symbols
• R1161895 (Intel)
• Intel, IDC, LGE, ZTE, Sams,
• R1161895 with binary code cover
• IITH, Reliancejio, Cewit

• QC, HW, HiSi, HW devices, Ericsson, Mediatek, Softbank, Sony, VF (if complexity results
are to be believed), Fujitsu, Sierra, IITH, Reliancejio, Cewit
Conclusions:
 If we adopt a short sequence, it would be the one described in R1161981.
Conclusion: As there is clearly not consensus to revert the decision from RAN1#84, and only one of the shortcode
proposals has support from the longcode proponents, we adopt the NBPSS design from R1161981:
• Base sequence: ZadoffChu sequence of size 11 with root index 5 and no shift
• Code cover: [1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
Possible conclusions:
• All companies should provide detailed solutions related to NBPSS and NBSSS until Thursday
 Ref. R1161957 for long ZC sequence for NBPSS
• If significant issues (e.g., performance and complexity) are existed by short ZC sequence NBPSS, companies
should provide it until Thursday
