As discussion of 5G grows in the wireless industry, the question on everyone's minds is this: "When will 5G become a reality?"
Durga Malladi, Senior VP of Engineering at Qualcomm Technologies explains that the question can be approached in two different ways:
1. The standardization process...
4G is not expected to just go away once 5G networks are deployed, but how will the two generational technologies exist together?
With specifications for “5G” technology still being worked through, it should be obvious to wonder how the technology is expected to be different from...
Carrier aggregation, combo of licensed and unlicensed spectrum, and massive MIMO are key 5G technologies
Although 5G has not been fully defined, the next-generation wireless connectivity standard will certainly provide multi-gigabit data throughputs by tapping into carrier aggregation, massive MIMO and simultaneous use of licensed...
Interference problems have plagued LTE networks from the start. External sources of interference, from streetlights to baby monitors to rogue base stations, can slow network data speeds or disrupt connectivity.
Nevertheless, external interference is often the last problem network operators tackle. This is primarily due...
Densification is more than small cells. Or DAS. Or Wi-Fi. The demand to carry more traffic, to more device types, with more reliability and lower latency creates the need for networks that not only have a higher density of RAN access points, but that...
