5G Mobility Scenarios – Handovers
Introduction In a wireless 5G network, when a mobile device (UE) travelling across different sites, it can be either in connected mobility or Idle mode mobility. Considering the two situation’s […]
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 EPS Fallback – 5G to 4G Handover
Introduction A Network Operator providing 5G NR and 4G LTE service, but it may not be possible to have 5G coverage everywhere and at some point when 5G coverage or […]
5G SA Handover – Inter gNB-DU and Intra gNB-CU Handover
Mobility (Handover) in an important feature in any telecom generation and so it is in 5G. The basic handover procedure remains same as it was in legacy networks, i.e. UE […]
5G NR Cell Global Identity (NCGI) Planning and Calculations
In 5G, NR Cell Global Identifier (NCGI) is used to identify NR cells globally and similar to ECGI (EUTRA Cell Global Identifier ) in 4G LTE. The NCGI is constructed […]
5G NR HO Setup: Handover Testing in Cabled Setup
Handover, or handoff in 5G NR or 4G LTE happens when a Data/Voice call is transferred from one cell to the an adjacent cell as the Mobile user moves through […]
Iperf : A Tool for Network Testing
Iperf or IP performance is a utility for testing network performance and its tuning. It is a cross-platform (windows, linux) tool which can provide standardized measurement results for any network […]
5G NR RACH Procedure Overview – CBRA & CFRA
When we want to connect a UE to 5G network, it has to synchronize in downlink as well as in uplink. Downlink synchronization is obtained after successfully decoding SSB, In […]
5G NR Modulation and Coding Scheme – Modulation and Code Rate
For any communication technology, Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) defines the numbers of useful bits which can carried by one symbol. In contrast with 5G or 4G, a symbol is […]
5G NR – Msg2 Random Access Response (RAR) – SA Mode
In 5G NR, the initial access include down-link synchronisation and up-link synchronisation procedures. Downlink synchronisation can be achieved after decoding Minimum System Information (SSB-MIB) and Remaining System Inforatmion (RMSI- SIB […]
