Mobile Data Usage forecast
5G higher level Use cases/Requirements
• eMBB– Enhance Mobile
Broadband(Fixed Wireless
Access) – 10Gbps
• mMTC – Massive Machine
Type Communication-
1miilion/Km2
• uRLLC – Ultra-reliable and
Low Latency communication-
Latency 1ms
Spectrum • Verizon, AT&T – 5G start
with 39 GHz &28 GHz
• T-Mobile: 600 MHz
• Re-farming of lower
bands would be done for
future coverage
• Mmwave: 24 GHz
onward : mmWave, to be
used for urban emBB use
case(currently deployed
using NetGear device for
Broadband wifi)
• Lower & Mid Bands used
for coverage, mmWave
for Capacity
5G Use Case - frequency
RAN key technologies in 5G
Massive-MIMO –
MIMO used in LTE-A are 8x8, 5G NR support mMIMO which is 64x64 Tx,Rx. Reduces the need of deploying multiple
enodeB antenna
Full Duplex –
Same frequency can be used now for receiving/transmitting data in 5G NR.
Filtered – OFDM
f-OFDM offers significant reductions on usage of guard band, This leads to more efficient spectrum utilization.
RAN Technology for mmWave(Qualcomm)
Beam forming – Basic concept
Backhauling can
be done by
mmWave or
Microwave due
to massive
number of cells
Network Architecture
MCE is the logical entity of central control and management for CloudRAN,
incorporating RAN non-real time functions, Wi-Fi AC, distributed gateway, service-related
application distribution entity (App), and Cache
