What is 5G NR SLIV | Value of SLIV for PDSCH and PUSCH

This page describes 5G NR SLIV definition. SLIV stands for Start and Length Indicator Value. SLIV values for PDSCH and PUSCH are also mentioned along with PDSCH and PUSCH time domain resource allocation.

What is SLIV?:
The starting symbol S relative to the start of the slot, and the number of consecutive symbols L counting from the symbol S allocated for the PDSCH are determined from the start and length indicator (SLIV). The formula for SLIV is as follows. It is defined in 3GPP TS 38.214 document.
