5G NR: An Overview
Abstract
5G has been the in the news, both at the technical/professional level and everyday media.
As a practitioner, Mr. Imperial will not focus on theoretical research or processes, but on the specific effects that impact actual implementation and everyday end-user experience.
5G has been confused with 5 GHz WiFi. All Radiofrequency (RF) technologies are governed by fundamental RF concepts.
Mr. Imperial’s presentation will begin with fundamental RF Concepts; a comparison 5G vs 5G E vs 5GHz; a broad overview to highlight issues related to 5G; different 5G Market Areas; 5G Frequency Bands; Comparison of WiFi vs Cellular Architecture; 4G/4G LTE/5G NR Architecture; 5G NR Radio Access Network Architecture; and Toolsets and Real-World Measurements.
Mr. Imperial will focus on the Radio Access Network (RAN) for 5G NR since this will differ based on the targeted User Equipment (UE) device.
