SFN Single Frequency Network single-band network
Indicates the system frame counter (Cell System Frame Number counter) in an SFN cell.
The SFN of a specific cell is transmitted on its broadcast channel. This SFN is a reference for all radio links in a cell. For a dedicated channel, SFN is a necessary parameter for calculating the CFN of a transmission channel. SFN can also be used for calculating paging groups or scheduling system broadcast messages. In the NodeB, the SFN of each cell is obtained by obtaining a time offset from the BFN. A specific cell corresponds to a specific offset Tcell.
