Energy Saving Technologies and Best Practices for 5G Radio Access Network

An adaptive 5G multiservice and multitenant radio access network architecture

This article provides an overview on objectives and first results of the Horizon 2020 project 5G NOvel Radio Multiservice adaptive network Architecture (5GNORMA). With 5G NORMA, leading players in the mobile ecosystem aim to underpin Europe’s leadership position in 5G. The key objective of 5G NORMA is to develop a conceptually novel, adaptive and future-proof 5G mobile network architecture. Thi...

Radio Access Schemes and Technologies for Next-Generation Network

Multimedia services such as Web browsing, video on demand, and IP telephone delivered to the office and home by wired network systems such as optical fiber systems and ADSL systems are now very popular. This popularity increases the demand for more powerful technologies to provide radio access such as high data rate, QoS controlling. The 3rd generation wireless system already has the ability to...

5G radio access above 6 GHz

Designing and developing a millimetre-wave (mmWave) based mobile Radio Access Technology (RAT) in the 6-100 GHz frequency range is a fundamental component in the standardization of the new 5G radio interface, recently kicked off by 3GPP. Such component, herein called the new mmWave RAT, will not only enable extreme mobile broadband (eMBB) services, but also support UHD/3D streaming, offer immer...
