LTE EARFCN

EARFCN stands for E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number.In LTE, the carrier frequency in the uplink and downlink is designated by EARFCN, which ranges between 0-65535.

• EARFCN uniquely identify the LTE band and carrier frequency.
  For example Band-1 and Band-4 can have same Rx frequency 2110-2170 MHz,  but their EARFCN are different.
• EARFCN is independent of channel bandwidth.
