A: 5G is based on OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), a method of modulating a digital signal across several different channels to reduce interference. 5G uses 5G NR air interface alongside OFDM principles. 5G also uses wider bandwidth technologies such as sub-6 GHz and mmWave.
Read moreHow can 5G improve in society?
Emerging 5G networks feature lower latency, higher capacity, and increased bandwidth compared to 4G . These network improvements will have far-reaching impacts on how people live, work, and play all over the world. Emerging 5G networks feature lower latency, higher capacity, and increased bandwidth compared to 4G.
Read moreWhat are the standards for 5G?
5G can be implemented in low-band, mid-band or high-band millimeter-wave 24 GHz up to 54 GHz . Low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range to 4G cellphones, 600–900 MHz, giving download speeds a little higher than 4G: 30–250 megabits per second (Mbit/s).
Read moreWhat are the IEEE 802 standards?
IEEE 802 is a collection of networking standards that cover the physical and data-link layer specifications for technologies such as Ethernet and wireless . These specifications apply to local area networks (LAN) and metropolitan area networks (MAN).
