3GPP Release 16 Feature List
3GPP Release 16 Introduction The initial specifications of 5G, Release 15 also called the “5G Phase 1” introduced the 5G NR technology, provided the fundamental architecture of 5G and addressed […]
What are the most common Test Cases for 5G Device Verification?
As per 3GPP specifications, the 5G is design and developed to support three major use cases i.e. eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband), URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication) and mMTC (Massive […]
5G NR Layer 2 – Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Overview
Introduction 5G NR PDCP is a Layer 2 protocol and overall functionality is almost same as it was in 4G LTE PDCP. PDCP layer resides between RRC on the upper […]
5G NR System Information Block Type 8 -SIB8
System Information is downlink broadcast information transmitted periodically by base station. SIB#8 is used to provide a Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS) notification. CMAS is used as Public Warning System […]
5G NR SINR Measurement and Its Mapping
Introduction SINR is Singal to Interference Noise Ratio is a measure of signal quality. It can be defined as the ratio of wanted signal strength and the unwanted interference plus […]
O-RAN WG10 – All about New Workgroup
O-RAN has formed a new workgroup with its workgroup number as “WG10” and workgroup name “Operation And Maintenance Work Group” or simply “OAM Work Group”. This workgroup is responsible for […]
SSC Modes – Session and Service Continuity in 5G
In any telecom technology one of the key feature requirement is data session and service continuity to enusre the uninterrputed service experience to the users irrespective of any change of […]
5G NR RSRQ Measurements and Its Mapping
The RSRQ (Referece Signal RecivedQuality) is a measurement performed by the UE to know the Quality of recieved Reference Signals. In 5G NR, RSRQ can be measurement for SS-Reference Siganls […]
5G MAC BSR – Buffer Status Reporting
The Buffer Status reporting (BSR) is a MAC layer procedure which is used by the UE to provide information about the amount of data available for transmission in the UL […]
5G NR BFR – Beam Failure Recovery
The 5G communication specially at higher frequencies or mmWave is using Massive MIMO with Beamforming. Beamforming is a signal processing technique that allows gNB send targeted beams of data to […]
