SCS 60 kHz
60 kHz Subcarrier Spacing (Numerology mu=2)
High-speed numerology with 0.25 ms slot duration supported in both FR1 and FR2 for low latency and high mobility.
Technical Explanation
Numerology mu=2 provides 60 kHz subcarrier spacing with 4 slots per 1 ms subframe (0.25 ms slot duration). It is uniquely supported in both FR1 (up to 100 MHz) and FR2 mmWave (up to 200 MHz). It is also the only numerology supporting Extended Cyclic Prefix, and is well-suited for high Doppler environments and URLLC services.
Key Functions
- Provides 0.25 ms slot duration (4 slots per subframe)
- Bridges FR1 mid-band and FR2 mmWave frequency ranges
- Supports Extended Cyclic Prefix and low-latency URLLC transmission
