Hosted by:
When
October 18-19, 2017
Introduction
Considering Device requirements for 5G network support. Smartphone evolution, new user equipment form factors and demands for state-of-the-art RFFE. How will RF Power Amplifiers, Filters, Antennas etc. evolve? Comparing and contrasting alternate methods of performance enhancement. Can UL throughput be improved via beamforming, higher order of modulation, higher order of MIMO, UL CA, HPUE, etc.? Considering the end-to-end challenge, cost, complexity and advantages? How do we decide the utility of the multiple methods allowed by standards? Trade-offs between network solutions vs handset solutions which accomplish the same thing. UE antenna performance/OTA measurements (below 6 GHz) Implications of mmWave on UE design and architecture. Where does the race towards more MIMO streams stop? Does it stop? 4CC, 4x4 MIMO, 5CC. How does it affect verification and testing?
Workshop Goals
- Assessing which new and emerging unique use cases will evolve?
- Exploring device challenges and roadmaps, co-existence challenges between 5G and 4G-LTE
- Considering RF Component challenges and innovation
