5G will use ‘massive’ MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antennas that have very large numbers of antenna elements or connections to send and receive more data simultaneously . The benefit to users is that more people can simultaneously connect to the network and maintain high throughput.
Read moreWhat is a 5G base station called?
The new radio access technology for 5G is called “NR” and replaces “LTE”, and the new base station is called gNB (or gNodeB) , and replaces the eNB (or eNodeB or Evolved Node B).
Read moreWhat is a 3GPP network?
3GPPTM is a partnership project bringing together national Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) from around the globe initially to develop technical specifications for the 3rd generation of mobile, cellular telecommunications, UMTS .
Read moreWhat 3GPP means?
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites seven telecommunications standard development organizations (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA, TTC), known as “Organizational Partners” and provides their members with a stable environment to produce the Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP technologies.
Read moreWhat is 3GPP 5G NR?
5G NR (New Radio) is a new radio access technology (RAT) developed by 3GPP for the 5G (fifth generation) mobile network . It was designed to be the global standard for the air interface of 5G networks.
Read moreWhat 3GPP release is 5G?
The Mobile. Broadband. Standard After initial delivery in late 2017 of ‘Non-Stand-Alone’ (NSA) NR new radio specifications for 5G, much effort focused in 2018 on timely completion of 3GPP Release 15 – the first full set of 5G standards – and on work to pass the first milestones for the 3GPP submission towards IMT-2020.
Read moreWhat does the 3GPP do?
3GPP develops technical specifications, not standards . 3GPP is an engineering organization that develops technical specifications. These technical specifications are then transposed into standards by the seven regional Standards Setting Organizations (SSOs) that form the 3GPP partnership (as seen below in Figure 2).
