SFI-RNTI

Slot Format Indication RNTI

Group RNTI used to scramble DCI Format 2_0 broadcasting dynamic TDD slot format indicators to multiple UEs.

Technical Explanation

Configured via RRC parameter sfi-RNTI, a group of UEs in a cell share this identifier. UEs monitor Type3-PDCCH CSS to decode DCI Format 2_0 scrambled by SFI-RNTI, learning the dynamic symbol direction (Downlink, Uplink, Flexible) for upcoming slots.

Key Functions

  • Group identifier shared across multiple UEs within a serving cell
  • Scrambles DCI Format 2_0 carrying dynamic slot format tables
  • Enables real-time adaptation of TDD symbol directions
