5G NR Mobile Networks
and User Equipment
Deploying Sub 3GHz 5G FDD Systems in Paired Spectrum. Benefits, Architecture, LTE Interworking, Implementation, LTE/NR Spectrum Cohabitation
Hosted by:
When
January 23-25, 2018
Introduction
T-Mobile recognizes the importance of mmWave for extremely high throughput 5G applications, however, to achieve the high mobility and excellent coverage that cellular users demand, global carriers will also focus on implementation at mid band as well as lower bands. As part of their strategy, T-Mobile plans for rapid deployment of its 600MHz spectrum. By lighting up the new spectrum with LTE and NR, they are opening up opportunities for previously unserved markets, new IoT use-cases and laying the foundation for 5G.
Workshop Goals
- Understand deployment priorities and implementation challenges for Sub 3GHz 5G FDD Systems in Paired Spectrum
- Assess use-case and vertical application drivers
- Explore implementation details on Non-Standalone LTE + NR co-existence and Standalone NR
- Understand advantages of 5G NR over LTE in sub-3GHz bands
- Explore new 5G UE RF Front-End Architecture
