5G NR interoperability works ! Ericsson and Qualcomm

5G NR interoperability works ! Ericsson and Qualcomm  

Ericsson and Qualcomm and 9 main telecom operators has performed multivendor 5G interoperability test compliant with global 3GPP standard for 5G New Radio (NR) Non-standalone (NSA).

 

Main 5G operators involved in this test compliant:

• AT&T

• NTT DOCOMO

• Orange

• SK Telecom

• Sprint

• Telstra

• T-Mobile US

• Verizon

• Vodafone.

The interoperability demonstrations is an key technology milestone toward standard-compliant trials. It is also a proof point of the ongoing industry collaboration to accelerate 5G NR for commercial network launches starting 2019

Docomo - creation of 5G environment for trials

Docomo - creation of 5G environment for trials

NTT Docomo Inc informed that in 2017 will be created 5G enviroment.
5G enviroment is needed for :

• automobiles, 
• railways,
• broadcasting

Docomo planned to start 5G in 2020.


At the begining 5G in two districts of Japan of Tokyo :  

• the Odaiba 
• Tokyo Skytree Town. 

The 5G sites will based on :

• 5G Ericsson radio network   
• 5G Intel devices
• 28GHz frequency band

What 100 operators really think about 5G

 What 100 operators really think about 5G

In ericsson website I found last time interesting acticle about erricsson whitepaper about 5G which contains information about : 

• 5G AND THE NETWORKED SOCIETY 
• 5G: A REAL GAME-CHANGER
• 5G USE CASES
• 5G ADOPTION
• PREPARING FOR 5G

5GAA 5G Automotive Association - communication between vehicles

5GAA 5G Automotive Association 

 source : autokult

Telecom company and german automobile manufacturers  has created 5G Automotive Association  . Target is to develop telecom solution , standarization and in the near future focus on autonomus drive.

5G inteligent cities

German automobile manufacturers as :  Audi AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG with presence of  Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm Inc. Aim is to create global next generation network which can create inteligent cities.

5G automotive system

In practise it comes to communication mainly between cars. If vehicle detect something worrisome on the road it will have opportunity to send the warning message to other vehicles

In plan also is integrating car security messanging system with smarftphones and other multimedia systems 

5GAA

• describes and adjust mutually area of application , technical requirements and strategy of realization.
• Support institution dealing with standarization.
• Working on solution : vehicle-to-everything
• In scope of common projects in area of innovation develop comperhensive solution
• Performing compatibility tests
• Driving on the wide range pilot projects and research

TOP5 - For what we are waiting in 5G

1. Throughputs 

There where plenty of demonstration in different summits and demo trials in US , Japan , around the Europe . All of the demonstrations of different mobile vendors not exceeded 10-20Gbit/s . What about higher data rate values ? Is there any plans ? visions ? Still is open question . It's hard to find any route map.

2. UE 

The closest vendors to provide UEs are Intel , Qualcomm , Samsung .
Qualcomm is working  to develop chipsets for the 5G mobile.
Intel was  committed to 5G and IoT, 
5G trials with Intel presence will start in 2018, and plans commercial deployment by 2020.

3. Core 

Common cloud infrastructure will contain : Compute , storage , networking. 
Virtual segmentation for different resourses like transport , access , service. Shared infrastructure of access , transport , cloud.
Focus of more shared resources , more flexible allocation of data and resources.

4. Deployments

In 2017 are planned first pre-comercial deployments.


5. Devices working with 5G technology

Intel - Ericsson .They work in collaboration to create a whole range of new features, like VR and AR content, UHD video. In Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco was presentation of  latest efforts and also  new compute module :  Joule  for purpose to use it by Intel customers in aircraft, monitoring pedestrians and other . Joule doesn't have 5G capabilities yet , but I hope in next release , version will be "more 5G" . For sure it's a great backgound for 5G ready device.

5G base stations in small area

Lot of 5G base stations in small area

There is opinion that 5G will require lot of base stations . Much more than LTE . 
Hi dense of base stations is because of requirement of hi throughput and peak data rate for each mobile receiver . 

Expectations are that 5G will at least deliver speeds up to 10 times faster than what is offered by  LTE networks . Please don't forget that 5G network should be capable to handle mean millions of new cell phone towers and sensors.


summary of current speed of 5G :

• Samsung showed 5G demo with throughput 7.5 Gbps and got a stable 1.2-Gbps signal speed to a track running through highway .

• Ericsson claimed it had achieved 5 Gbps on a testbed for 5G

Ericsson will deliver first radio 5G New Radio (NR)

Ericsson is ready with first on the world radio 5G for Massive MIMO

First deployments are plan in 2017.

5G radio from Ericsson together with  5G Plug-Ins and access system : Radio System Baseband 5216 is the first world wide provider which is able to deliver all components for 5G radio access part.

5G Radio "AIR 6468"

Radio "AIR 6468" combines huge amount of control ports and functionalities like :

- beam forming
-MU-MIMO -> multi-user mimo
-Massive MIMO
-noise reduction 

New 5G radio also is able to support legacy network LTE.

5G  3D MIMO for China

Huang Yuhong, Deputy Head, China mobile Research Institute (CMRI), said :

Massive-MIMO, also known as 3D MIMO, is an important milestone in China Mobile's technology roadmap from 4G to 5G. We are happy that Ericsson's new radio product is coming to market soon to meet our needs and enable us to integrate 5G technologies into our existing networks". 

5G Plug-Ins

Arun Bansal ( Head of Business Unit Network Products, Ericsson  informed :

"We are introducing the new hardware that 5G Plug-Ins will run on so that the first operators can start to deploy 5G infrastructure. We are also launching innovations that improve both the performance and efficiency of today's networks using concepts that will evolve into 5G".

5G is happening now

 5G is happening now

 “5G is happening now,” said Arun Bansal, head of Network Products at Ericsson.

Ericsson  announced  on Tuesday that it's possible  to start delivering by Ericsson all components needed  for roll-our 5G mobile networks in 2017.

Ericsson is in contact with  26 telecom partnerships and it ensure that fullfil expectation of mobile network providers in 2017 it means that it's 3 years before 5G planned world wide release in 2020.

Target standard of 5G 


Target standard of 5G will be defined by 3GPP ( Third Generation Partnership Project ) and  ITU ( International Telecommunication Union and  3G).
