5G New Radio (5G-NR) Wireless System: A Full-Color Slide Presentation of a Concise Course Kindle Edition

The mobile cellular standard beyond 4G-LTE is 5G. If Wi-Fi is wireless Ethernet, then 5G is wireless Fiber. 5G promises to deliver the Internet of Everything by empowering smart cities and homes, industry automation, self-driving cars, augmented reality, and work, gaming, and entertainment in the cloud. While 4G-LTE is driven by millions of multimedia personal devices that require high-speed internet connectivity, 5G supports an even greater number of applications and services, expanding beyond person-to-person communications. This new kind of wireless network connects not only users but also machines, devices, and objects. By using both shared and millimeter-wave spectrum in a flexible and efficient manner, network performance is enhanced in terms of better link quality and reliability, higher connection speeds and density, and lower latency. Many operators around the globe have rolled out fixed, mobile, and private 5G services, with over 5 billion mobile subscribers and 15 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connections. This course describes the foundational principles, technologies, architecture, protocol layers, and use cases of 5G, including 3GPP Release 15, 16, 17, and 5G-Advanced (Release 18). It also offers invaluable technical insights and important considerations in 5G base station and user handset implementation. This course is concise but informative with over 120 meticulously prepared slides that are designed for the busy engineer and C-level executive. In under 2 hours, you will fully understand the entire 5G ecosystem, including the key components and technologies.Learning OutcomesReview 5G bandwidth aggregation, duplexing, scalable waveform and numerology, multicarrier modulationStudy 5G architecture, protocol layers, uplink and downlink channels, network slicing, power managementLearn 5G antenna technology, small cells, fixed wireless, non-terrestrial networks, private networks, open RANStudy the evolution of 5G base station, remote radio head, signaling networks, and security protocolsUnderstand 3GPP Release 16, 17, and 18About the AuthorThe author was a technical editor for the IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine for 10 years and has also guest edited for the IEEE Communications Magazine (2 issues) and the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas on Communications.
