This page explains the 5G NR MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) Table and the 5G NR TBS (Transport Block Size) Table as defined in 3GPP TS 38.214.

Introduction:

5G NR (New Radio) is the latest cellular wireless technology, adhering to 3GPP specifications, much like LTE. The complete protocol stack for both the UE (User Equipment) and gNB (Base Station) is detailed in the 38 series of documents. MCS and TBS are crucial elements used within the physical layer of the 5G NR system.

5G NR TBS Calculation: Transport Block Size

Calculate the 5G NR Transport Block Size (TBS) using formulas and equations from the 5G NR 38.214 standard, considering factors like Qm, R, v, and the number of Resource Elements (REs).
