5G mmWave 28 GHz Band Link Budget – n257
The combination of 5G NR technology and millimeter wave bands pioneer a new level of mobile performance with ultra-high speeds and low latencies. Momentum behind 28 GHz is growing, with […]
5G NR Inactive-RNTI (I-RNTI) for RRC_INACTIVE State
In 5G NR, 3GPP specification has introduced an RRC state as RRC_INACTIVE state. The aim of RRC_INACTIVE state is to achieve power saving with acceptable access latency, and is suitable […]
5G NR Antenna Port – Logical and Physical Antenna Mapping
Downlink multi-antenna transmission is a key technology of 5G NR. Signals transmitted from different antennas ports will experience different “radio channels” even if the set of antennas are located at […]
5G NR Cyclic Prefix (CP) Design
Cyclic prefix (CP) refers to the prefixing of a symbol, with a repetition of the end In OFDM wireless systems. The receiver is typically configured to discard the cyclic prefix […]
Motivation Behind Having Multiple Numerology in 5G NR
Talking about numerology, as we know LTE has single subcarrier spacing equal to 15khz, but here in NR, we have multiple numerologies and those are represented by Greek letter µ. […]
5G NR Quasi-Colocation Concept, Types and Application
Two signals transmitted from same antenna port shall experience the same radio channel, where as transmitting it from two different antenna ports shall experience different radio conditions. But there can […]
5G Identifiers SUPI and SUCI
In telecommunication systems, network operator allocate to each SIM card a unique identifier, known up to the 4G as an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and for the 5G as […]
5G NR System Information
System information is downlink broadcast information transmitted periodically by base station. it is very critical information for a mobile (UE) to connection the Base station (gNB in 5G) in any […]
Open RAN (O-RAN) Reference Architecture
O-RAN Tutorial The O-RAN Reference Architecture is designed to enable next generation RAN infrastructures. It is designed with the principles of intelligence and openness, the O-RAN architecture is the foundation […]
5G System Connection Management: CM-Idle and CM-Connected
When a Mobile wants to communicate with 5G core network, as it first time switched-on or because it was in idle state for some time and network removed the resources […]
