In plain words
TS 36.213 specifies physical layer procedures "in the FDD and TDD modes of E-UTRA." Cell search acquires time and frequency synchronization with a cell and detects that cell's physical layer Cell ID. V19.5.0 includes CRs on the initial redundancy version for CB-Msg3-EDT in LTE-MTC NTN and differential K-offset application time. It also clarifies a slot to be an UL slot if within UL subframe(s) for NB-IoT NTN TDD.

How this page was made
The facts box and the tables come straight from the 3GPP specification archive and CR database as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
