Dear USRP Community,

I am currently working with OpenAirInterface (OAI) 2026.w06 and using a
NI/Ettus USRP-2952R (X310 class device, XG FPGA image, reported type as
x300) for 5G NR gNB experiments.

I am attempting to configure a 100 MHz NR carrier (273 PRB, 30 kHz SCS,
band 77). Based on 3GPP numerology, the expected sampling rate is 122.88
MSps. However, when configuring the device, UHD reports:

"[WARNING] [MULTI_USRP] Could not set RX rate to 122.880 MHz. Actual rate
is 184.320 MHz"
"[WARNING] [MULTI_USRP] Could not set TX rate to 122.880 MHz. Actual rate
is 184.320 MHz"

The device is therefore running at 184.32 MSps instead of the requested
122.88 MSps.

System Details:

• SDR: USRP-2952R (X310 class, XG FPGA image)
• Master clock observed: 184.32 MHz
• UHD version: 4.8.0
• OAI version: 2026.w06
• Host CPU: Intel i7-7700 (4 cores / 8 threads)
• CPU governor: performance (all cores locked to max frequency)
• NIC: Single 10G interface
• MTU of 10G Interface : 9000
• Network buffers configured as:

net.core.wmem_max=33554432
net.core.rmem_max=33554432
net.core.wmem_default=33554432
net.core.rmem_default=33554432

• Using single 10G link

Observed behavior:

When operating at 273 PRB (100 MHz), I see continuous sequences of:

*LLLLLLLLLLLL*

along with:

*L[HW]* *Buffer overflow, count_write = 10, start = 4 end = 4, resetting
write package.*

It appears that because 122.88 MSps does not satisfy the integer
MCR/decimation requirement (184.32 / 122.88 = 1.5), UHD forces the sampling
rate to 184.32 MSps (decimation = 1). This significantly increases host
data throughput and processing load, possibly contributing to the buffer
overflows and late processing.

I would appreciate clarification on the following:

   1.

   Is 122.88 MSps fundamentally unsupported with MCR = 184.32 MHz on the
   X310 architecture?
   2.

   Is there a recommended master clock configuration for stable 100 MHz NR
   operation?

OAI gNB Logs are attached for your reference.

Thank you for your guidance.

Regards,
Vishwanath
