How to configure the frequency not defined in 3GPP ?

 

It is possible to define a non standard LTE frequency band or to over-ride standard bands. This is done by adding custom_freq_band object to the eNodeB configuration file. It should contain the following fields. If the uplink information is not provided, it is assumed to be the same as the downlink (TDD band).

The carrier frequency in the uplink and downlink is designated by the E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN) in the range 0 – 262143. The relation between EARFCN and the carrier frequency in MHz for the downlink and uplink is given by the following equations (cf. 36101 3GPP spec):

Fdownlink = FDL_Low + 0.1 (NDL - NDL_Offset)

Fuplink = FUL_Low + 0.1 (NUL - NUL_Offset)

Where,

An example is shown below:

custom_freq_band: { band: 90, dl_freq_min: 730, dl_earfcn_min: 250000, dl_earfcn_max: 250149, ul_freq_min: 700, ul_earfcn_min: 251000, ul_earfcn_max: 251149, },

In this example, a FDD LTE band 90 is defined with DL frequency range of 730 to 745 MHz and DL EARFCN range of 250000 to 250149. FDL_Low is 730 MHz and NDL_Offset is 250000.
