As the first component, lattice is multi- dimensional resource mapping and each point shows a location of one resource element. The possible distances between lattice points give numerology structures for a waveform [6, 7]. For example, the distances between LTE lattice points are fixed as LTE employs a single-numerology waveform. However, 5G NR uses a flexible lattice structure that indi- cates that there are multiple numerologies. Additionally, both LTE and 5G NR use a mul- tidimensional lattice on time-frequency planes. The other waveform component, pulse shape, gives the main characteristic to a waveform by deciding how to transmit the sym- bols on lattice points. LTE generally employs rectangular pulses for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols but it is also possible to implement windowing. 5G NR can have different amounts of windowing for a pulse shape of OFDM symbols. As a last main waveform component, frame structure can change in addition to lattice and pulse shape. For example, multiple numerologies are multiplexed in frequency domain in 5G NR and the amounts of inter-numerology guard bands can be configured adaptively as a part * Corresponding Author: Ahmet Yazar; ayazar@medipol.edu.tr Radio Access Network Slicing and Virtualization for 5G Vertical Industries, First Edition.
