What is 5G TDD?

To increase flexibility as well as make spectrum usage more efficient, Time Division Duplex (TDD) is becoming increasingly common and important. TDD uses the same frequency for each duplex direction, with a frame that includes different time periods and slots for uplink or downlink communications.

What is an FDD used for?

Frequency-division duplexing (FDD) is a method for establishing a full-duplex communications link that uses two different radio frequencies for transmitter and receiver operation . FDD operation normally assigns the transmitter and receiver to different communication channels.

What is SDL and Sul in 5G?

Supplementary Downlink ( SDL ) and Supplementary Uplink ( SUL ) are modes that allow only downlink or uplink in those bands . SDL and SUL are meant to provide additional capacity. In practice, industry looks at 5G spectrum in terms of low-band (600-700 kHz), mid-band (3-5 GHz) and high-band (26-100 GHz).
