What is slot configuration in 5G NR?

Slot configuration in 5G NR refers to the arrangement and allocation of time slots within a radio frame. A slot represents a specific duration in which data or control information can be transmitted between the base station and the user equipment. In 5G NR, the slot configuration is determined by various factors such as the numerology used, bandwidth, and the selected subcarrier spacing. The slot configuration defines the number and position of slots within a frame, the length of each slot, and the purpose of each slot, which can be used for data transmission, control signaling, or synchronization purposes. Efficient slot configuration is crucial in ensuring reliable and high-speed data transmission in 5G networks.
