5G Spectrum, in general, is divided to three bands: Low Band: Below 1GHz Mid Band: Between 1-6 GHz High Band: mmwave  For the sub 6GHz band, the most commonly used […]

Uplink and Downlink Decoupling for Enhancing 5G Coverage The higher frequency leads to larger penetration loss and poor coverage. For example, 3.5 GHz (as the first commercially used 5G band), provides […]

As per GSA, Last release December 2019, the Availability of information about spectrum support is improving as a greater number become commercially available. Nearly 60% of all announced 5G devices […]

5G Core adds new values as per below: Optimized interworking with 5G NR —Reduced signaling. — Lower control-plane latency. —Only a standardized solution for NR Standalone (SA). Enhanced service capabilities […]

Simply, As always there’s no perfect waveform so that’s also there’s no numerology. For example, If we’re talking about a more narrow subcarrier spacing, we have the advantage of better […]

As per GSA, In the Middle East and Africa the situation as below:  Cyprus (Department of Electronic Communications) In August 2019, Cyprus launched a public consultation of the auction of […]

At first, we need to identify the meaning of word EN–DC, It’s E-UTRAN New Radio Dual Connectivity. Simply it means the possibility of UE to get simultaneous data from LTE […]

5G connectivity options In Release 15, the 3GPP defined multiple architectural options for a UE to connect to the network, using LTE/eLTE and/or NR access to connect to Evolved Packet […]

5G is enjoying an unprecedented development, with the user base forecast to grow to 500 million in three years, a scale that 3G and 4G took nine and six years, […]

The 5G NR implements a new procedure for UE to gain initial access to the gNB. Upon arrival to a new cell coverage area, UE is blind to the location […]

Hybrid beamforming is a technique to partition beamforming between the digital and RF domains to reduce the cost associated with the a number of RF signal chains. Hybrid beamforming designs […]
