Introduction
According to recent analyst reports, the millimeter-wave market for RF front end components will grow to more than $1B by 2024, driven by smartphones, hotspots, and fixed customer premises equipment, as well as other markets including aerospace, satellite and automotive markets? Propagation characteristics of licensed bands below 6 GHz are obviously favored compared to mmWave, however, as these bands are used up, mobile operators start to look to mmWave spectrum as an opportunity to get significant bandwidth. In the USA, wide blocks of C-Band spectrum are not available so mobile operators have invested heavily in 28 and 39 GHz mmWave bands. Many RF engineers have reasonable doubts about using mmWave radio links in a mobile environment, where narrow mmWave beams are seriously impacted by UE movement and clutter, however, using the 5G mmWave link along with an LTE carrier at 1 to 2 GHz offers a more reliable connection and the mmWave link can come into play when it is available to download or upload large amounts of data.
Workshop Goals
This Workshop will explore how 5G will drive new technology innovation and consider if mmWave can move from fixed wireless use-cases and niche islands of ultra-high speed connectivity to mass infrastructure deployment.
- Can acceptable handovers in a mobile 5G mmWave network be achieved?
- Will 5G mmWave always require an LTE or 5GNR sub 6GHz carrier as the primary link?
- What will mmWave base stations and antennas look like and how will lower PA efficiency and thermal management be achieved?
- What are the interference challenges and how will this be mitigated?
