LTE frame is divided based on TIME slots on time axis and frequency subcarrier on frequency axis. Resource BLOCK is the smallest unit of resource allocation in LTE system. It is of about 0.5ms duration and composed of 12 subcarriers in 1 OFDM symbol. One time slot is EQUAL to 7 OFDM symbols in normal CYCLIC prefix and 6 OFDM symbols in extended cyclic prefix. One full resource block is equal to 12 subcarriers by 7 symbols in normal CP. Hence it CONSISTS of total 84 time/frequency elements referred as resource elements in LTE network.
