5G/NR Channel Codes Evolution Consideration and 3GPP Recommendation on Polar Codes

October 31, 2018

5G/NR Channel Codes Evolution Consideration and 3GPP Recommendation on Polar Codes In order to meet higher data rates and more diverse requirements of typical NR scenarios including eMBB, mMTC, and URLLC, a powerful and flexible channel coding scheme is one of the fundamental components of the NR access technology. In the recent RAN1# discussion, various […]

5G Network Abbreviations and Terminologies Below is the list of few terminology and abbreviations used in 5G NR. Our team is continuously updating it. Please do visit regularly to get in touch with new terminology and abbreviations related to 5G. New RAN: A Radio Access Network which can supports either NR/E-UTRA or both and have capabilities […]

Structure of the 3GPP NR (5G) Specification

October 31, 2018

Structure of the 3GPP NR (5G) Specification 3GPP starts its work on 5G with its first meetings in the US next month. The work item approved by RAN plenary (RP-170847) primarily targets eMBB and URLLC scenario and services requirement. Frequency ranges up to 52.6 GHz are considered for the 5G, while OTA RF requirements will be […]

5G/4G ARFCN Calculator Android App Few weeks back, we wrote a post about 5G New Radio ARFCN calculator. Below is the link for the same. 5G Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (NR-ARFCN) In this post we want to introduce an android App which can be used to calculated 5G NR-ARFCN and 4G LTE EARFCN for […]

5G Cell Phone Architecture

October 31, 2018

5G Cell Phone Architecture 5G cell phones has to be designed to comply either 3GPP New Radio (NR) Release 15 and also need to support legacy radio access technologies . Intial, 5G cell phones will be support Non-Stand Alone (NSA) protocol stack. Requirements for 5G Cell Phone Comply to 3GPP Release 15 – NSA Support […]

5G Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (NR-ARFCN)

October 31, 2018

5G Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (NR-ARFCN) An Absolute Radio-Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) is a code that specifies the a pair of reference frequencies used for transmission and reception in radio system. In a FDD system one ARFCN number is required for downlink and another for uplink as downlink and uplink frequencies are different while for TDD system […]

5G NR (New Radio) Frequency Bands

October 31, 2018

Recently, 3GPP has freezes specification for 5G NR and TS 38.104 section 5.2 provides the list of bands in which NR (New Radio) can operate. As per 3GPP release 15 , these frequency bands are desingated for different frequency ranges (FR) and current specification (Release) defines them as FR1 and FR2. Below table shows the […]
