Radio waves are used for communication in 5G Like in previous mobile networks, 5G devices will communicate with base stations by transmitting and receiving radio waves, or radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF).
Read moreWhat is 5G radio unit?
The 5G Radio Unit is a special case of small-cell deployment where components of the L1 and L2 processing chain are implemented more centralized in a distributed unit (DU), connecting over 3GPP split 7-2x/split 6 or other mechanisms.
Read moreWhat are the technology drivers for 5G new radio?
The radio access technology (RAT) developed for 5G by 3GPP includes two frequency ranges: FR1, which operates below 6 GHz, and FR2, which includes bands above 24 GHz and into the extremely high frequency range above 50 GHz . 3GPP has dubbed 5G’s new air interface 5G NR (New Radio).
Read moreWhat is new radio scheme in 5G?
5G New Radio (NR) is the global standard for a unified, more capable 5G wireless air interface . It will deliver significantly faster and more responsive mobile broadband experiences, and extend mobile technology to connect and redefine a multitude of new industries.
Read moreDoes WiFi use unlicensed spectrum?
Wi-Fi uses unlicensed spectrum , open to use by any device that has been certified by the FCC as conforming to its Part 15 rules on transmitted electromagnetic energy. The certification process is easy and cheap compared to licensing, but it’s not a complete free-for-all.
Read moreHow does unlicensed spectrum with NR-U transform what 5G can do for you?
NR-U makes advanced features of 5G NR available to unlicensed spectrum globally, including new 6 GHz greenfield spectrum. When combined with licensed or shared spectrum, anchored NR-U helps MNOs deliver 5G with better performance by alleviating spectrum constraints .
Read moreDoes 5G need new spectrum?
Today, a majority of commercial 5G networks rely on spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range (3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz). This momentum makes it vital that regulators assign as much contiguous 5G spectrum as possible in the range. However, 5G needs more mid-band spectrum to maintain quality of service and meet growing demand .
