5G NR Physical Layer Cell ID Calculator and Formula
Advertisement
This page describes the 5G NR Physical Layer Cell ID calculator and explains the 5G NR PCI Formula.
The 5G NR PCI (Physical Layer Cell ID) calculator uses inputs such as PSS and SSS values to calculate the PCI as output. PSS stands for Primary Synchronization Signal, and SSS stands for Secondary Synchronization Signal.
N ID (1)
represents the SSS, ranging from 0 to 335, while N ID (2)
represents the PSS, ranging from 0 to 2.
Therefore, the PCI will have a range of values from 0 to 1007 (inclusive, giving 1008 values).

Here’s an example using the 5G NR Physical layer cell ID (PCI) calculator:
EXAMPLE:
Inputs:
N ID (1)
= 330N ID (2)
= 1
Outputs:
- PCI (Physical Layer Cell ID) = 991
