Mobile broadband (MBB) For pedestrians under a clear sky and with access to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS, positioning with a fusion of 5G and GNSS can be better than positioning with GNSS alone .
Read moreWhat is the GPS frequency?
All GPS satellites broadcast on at least two carrier frequencies: L1, at 1575.42 MHz, and L2, at 1227.6 MHz (newer satellites also broadcast on L5 at 1176 MHz).
Read moreDoes 5G mess with GPS?
The problem with using radio signals so close to the GPS frequency (GPS is simply a very sensitive and sophisticated radio receiver) is that spillover can cause interference with the very faint radio signals received by GPS. Simply put, while we all want 5G, it can’t come at the expense of GPS .
Read moreWhy does 5G need GPS?
In order to minimize and even avoid interference , the timing and synchronizations techniques used in the cellular network will need to evolve to support the new 5G requirements. The time of day messages and the timing pulse received from the GPS satellite constellation will also be used differently.
