Why Network Slicing Is Important for 5G?
5G networks must meet diversified demands. ITU classified 5G mobile network services into three categories: Enhanced Mobile Broadband(eMBB), Ultra-reliable and Low-latency Communications (uRLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). eMBB focuses […]
What Is the Difference between MOS and PESQ?
In voice and video communication, quality usually states whether the experience is a good or bad one. In a scale from 1 to 5, a mean opinion score (MOS) gives […]
Nokia: Why New Transport Is Essential for 5G ?
