What is Point A in 5G NR?

Hello All,
Does anyone can give me a simple explantion about the new concept “Point A” introduced in 5G NR?

Take a look at this: 5G | ShareTechnote

As usual, @Jaeku_Ryu had it done already :slight_smile:

Point A is reference point in 5G system.
There is another paramater - offset to carrier.
By using both parameter UE compute the actual carrier where different BWP reside.

Hi 5G Experts,
For 5g what is significance for giving Point A:
Offset to point.
Ssb carrier offset kssb.
What use of these in ENDC?

I checked for these in logs but not able to find which parameter indicates these 3 parameters.

Should it be Offset to point A part of SIB1, not MIB?

Yes I find it but very confusing terms. Actually need to understand significance .

For ENDC SIB1 dedicated not there, it’s part of RRC reconfiguration message only.

Well those are interconnected, as SSB location and Carrier BW is not fixed in NR so UE need to know all this information to Locate SSB, Start of Carrier BW i.e to find CRB#0 and the BWP location if indicated.
