The IEEE 802.11 MAC and PHY layers are continuously being improved to offer more efficiency and support new use cases. The next generation of Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT), focuses on multiple enhancements that offer lower latency...
Standalone 5G and edge compute bring enterprise value
The ability to deliver a network slice is the long goal of the transition to standalone 5G. At a high-level, a network slice is an end-to-end logical partition of a network that provides specific levels of service...
Addressing the capacity loss question around Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
Dynamic spectrum sharing is seen as a key technology operators will employ to scale out 5G coverage by using software-based scheduling to transmit LTE and 5G NR signals in the same band at the same time....
Rohde & Schwarz, together with European telecoms infrastructure provider Cellnex and Spinner, a specialist in radio frequency technology, is carrying out a trial of broadcast/multicast capabilities over 5G in Barcelona, Spain.
In a project that went live on February 25, the team will transmit a...
Oscillation caused by insufficient path loss between a bidirectional amplifier’s (BDA) donor and serving antennas is one of the most common and most serious forms of interference in cellular networks.
Â
This white paper provides a general overview of how BDAs work, the conditions leading to...
5G networks will need to offer more capacity and flexibility while lowering the operational expenses of the system. Two new technologies can simultaneously address both the increase in capacity and the increase in energy efficiency: Virtualization & Massive MIMO.
This white paper provides an overview...
The AppNote describes the highlights of real-time 5G NR analysis in pre-commercial 5G NR trials and early deployments (5G NR scanning use cases) and functionality of R&S®TSMx6 products together with R&S®ROMES4. 5G NR is expected to become the major radio access technology during the...
Keysight Technologies held its first-ever Keysight World company event in the U.S. this week, highlighting how new equipment offerings are supporting the latest technology trends as well as how the company has transformed itself in the years since its spin-off from Agilent.

5G beamforming a critical technology for fixed wireless and mobility
Testing beamforming is tricky but crucial, because the technology introduces a level of complexity on both the infrastructure side and the device side that demands careful characterization and verification before 5G can be successfully deployed.
“Every...
The future of the internet and communications is all about speed. 5G will increase the speed and throughput of cloud connections and devices many times faster than what we see today. But it is still a work-in-progress and getting there is not an easy...
