7. PBCH and MIB in 5G Networks
The Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) carries the Master Information Block (MIB). The MIB contains essential information for downlink synchronization of user equipment, such as cell identity, system bandwidth, and configurations of other channels. In this experiment, the complete implementation of the PBCH chain is discussed in detail.
