5.2. Physical layer
In this section, we describe the LTE-M physical layer design with an emphasis on how these physical signals and channels are designed to fulfill the objectives that LTE-M targets, namely low device cost, deep coverage, and long battery lifetime, while maintaining capacity for a large number of devices per cell, with performance and functionality suitable for both low-end and mid-range applications for the IoT.
5.2.1. Physical resources
5.2.1.1. Channel raster
LTE-M supports many frequency bands (see Table 5.2 for a list of supported bands) and the same system bandwidths as ordinary LTE (1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz). A channel raster defines the allowed carrier frequencies.
LTE-M is reusing LTE's Primary Synchronization ...
