5G – How To Control Beam Forming – Channel Measurements

When it comes to making the most out of a radio channel, 5G NR goes to even greater lengths than LTE. There are lots and lots of mechanisms for the base station and the UE to analyze current channel conditions and, based on the results, optimize their transmitter and receiver settings accordingly. Quite a number … Continue reading 5G – How To Control Beam Forming – Channel Measurements

The US Will Get 3.5 GHz Spectrum for 5G – But Not Much

The spectrum situation for mobile services in the US has always been different from much of the rest of the world. More often than not, US network operators have to cobble together 5 and 10 MHz chunks of spectrum for their customers while in the rest of the world, aggregating 20 MHz channels is the … Continue reading The US Will Get 3.5 GHz Spectrum for 5G – But Not Much

5G: How To Control Beamforming

In the previous two posts on 5G NR massive MIMO, a.k.a. beam forming, I’ve gone into the basic principles of what it can be used for in practice and how antennas for beam forming will look like. Great background information from Keysight and Ericsson respectively. The next question I then had was how mobile device … Continue reading 5G: How To Control Beamforming
