Example for FR1, single layer, 15 kHz SCS in DL with 256QAM:
Maximum 5G NR data rate depends on circumstances and higher layer settings:
GlossaryCC = component carrier (carrier aggregation); DL = downlink, E-DCH = enhanced dedicated channel; FR1 = sub-6 GHz frequency range from 0.45 GHz to 6 GHz; FR2 = mmWave frequency range from 24.25 GHz to 52.8 GHz; HS-DSCH = high speed downlink shared channel; RB = resource block; SCS = subcarrier spacing; TTI = transmission time interval; UL = uplink
J Number of aggregated component carriers per band or band combination; max. 16 component carriers for carrier aggregation
Rmax 948/1024, max. code rate possible
v Number of layers, max. 8 layers in Rel. 15
Q Bits per modulation symbol; dependent on modulation scheme. Rel. 15: 1 for BPSK, 2 for QPSK, 4 for 16QAM, 6 for 64QAM and 8 for 256QAM (max. modulation scheme in Rel. 15)
ƒ Scaling factor (1, 0.8, 0.75 or 0.4), signaled via higher layers
NRB Max. number of resource blocks per bandwidth part
Ts Average symbol duration, taking into account the longer CP duration of the first OFDMA symbol in one slot and the possible extended cyclic prefix instead of the normal CP length
µ Subcarrier spacing: ❙ FR1: 0 for 15 kHz SCS, 1 for 30 kHz SCS, 2 for 60 kHz SCS ❙ FR2: 3 for 60 kHz SCS, 4 for 120 kHz SCS
OH Overhead due to signaling information: ❙ downlink: [0.14] for FR1, [0.18] for FR2 ❙ uplink: [0.08] for FR1, [0.10] for FR2
Note: maximum data rate can be limited by UE capability

Example for FR1, single layer, 15 kHz SCS in DL with 256QAM:
Maximum 5G NR data rate depends on circumstances and higher layer settings:
GlossaryCC = component carrier (carrier aggregation); DL = downlink, E-DCH = enhanced dedicated channel; FR1 = sub-6 GHz frequency range from 0.45 GHz to 6 GHz; FR2 = mmWave frequency range from 24.25 GHz to 52.8 GHz; HS-DSCH = high speed downlink shared channel; RB = resource block; SCS = subcarrier spacing; TTI = transmission time interval; UL = uplink
J Number of aggregated component carriers per band or band combination; max. 16 component carriers for carrier aggregation
Rmax 948/1024, max. code rate possible
v Number of layers, max. 8 layers in Rel. 15
Q Bits per modulation symbol; dependent on modulation scheme. Rel. 15: 1 for BPSK, 2 for QPSK, 4 for 16QAM, 6 for 64QAM and 8 for 256QAM (max. modulation scheme in Rel. 15)
ƒ Scaling factor (1, 0.8, 0.75 or 0.4), signaled via higher layers
NRB Max. number of resource blocks per bandwidth part
Ts Average symbol duration, taking into account the longer CP duration of the first OFDMA symbol in one slot and the possible extended cyclic prefix instead of the normal CP length
µ Subcarrier spacing: ❙ FR1: 0 for 15 kHz SCS, 1 for 30 kHz SCS, 2 for 60 kHz SCS ❙ FR2: 3 for 60 kHz SCS, 4 for 120 kHz SCS
OH Overhead due to signaling information: ❙ downlink: [0.14] for FR1, [0.18] for FR2 ❙ uplink: [0.08] for FR1, [0.10] for FR2
Note: maximum data rate can be limited by UE capability
