Qualcomm Technologies, Ericsson and AT&T announced plans to conduct over-the-air field trials following the expected 5G new radio (NR) specifications being developed by 3GPP. The trials will evaluate use cases at 28 and 39 GHz using spectrum from AT&T.
5G Americas, the industry trade association and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas, has published a technical whitepaper titled Network Slicing for 5G Networks and Services that details network slicing implementation for 5G technologies. Network slicing, simply described, is the ability to tailor a set of functions to optimize use of the network for each mobile device; it is considered to be key for meeting 5G's diverse use cases and requirements, including future-proof scalability and flexibility.
While mobile network operators and vendors meet current market demands with LTE-A and LTE-A Pro, pre-standard 5G millimeter wave deployments are imminent. ABI Research forecasts that 5G in the cm and mm wave bands will reach nearly $200 billion in cumulative service revenues by 2026 while LTE, LTE-A, and LTE-A Pro exceed five billion subscriptions.
NI Days London 2016 offered a face-to-face opportunity to discover how NI is driving technology, enabling customers and developing partnerships. Not forgetting bionic arms, of course!
Keysight Technologies Inc., with the University of California San Diego (www.ece.ucsd.edu) announced the world’s longest bidirectional phased-array link in the 60 GHz band. At a link distance of 300 m, the 32-element array achieved a data rate of greater than 2 Gbps over all scan angles up to ±45 degrees. Data rates were 4 Gbps at 100 m and 500 Mbps at 800 m over most scan angles. Initial tests by a leading wireless provider suggest the system can deliver content to eight homes at a time at up to 300 m.
Characterization of OTA performance is going to be a challenge as wireless communications move towards higher frequency ranges. ART-Fi decided to expand their precision engineering to tackle that challenge, together with their partner WavePro, by releasing a cutting-edge compact range that can be used to characterize the world’s latest technologies, up to 300 GHz.
Huawei and Korean telecom operator LG U+ announced the completion of joint 5G tests, demonstrating cell peak rates of 31 Gbps and latency less than 0.5 ms.
Keysight Technologies Inc. and CommSolid demonstrated the successful completion of a NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT) connection with the Keysight E7515A UXM base station emulator and wireless test set during Vodafone’s Innovation Days 2016. Establishing a Cat-NB1 device link was the result of a collaboration between Keysight and CommSolid. The Keysight UXM is the world’s first wireless test set to demonstrate connectivity with an NB-IoT device that complies to the standards.
