5G/6G
Making strides in 5G technology
Researchers at the universities of Lund and Bristol have conducted a number of experiments using a form of 5G technology called Massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output), and set not one but two world records in so-called spectrum efficiency for wireless communication.
Low power consumption technology developed for 5G
A prototype wireless unit incorporating inter-subarray coding technology, which makes it possible to achieve high-speed transmissions, in excess of 10Gb/s, for 5G mobile wireless base stations and access points has been built by Fujitsu. It has achieved these high speeds whilst maintaining low power consumption levels on par with WiFi. In verification tests, the prototype successfully transmitted signals simultaneously to multiple devices.
Dynamically programmable network slicing for 5G on M-CORD
Success of a Proof of Concept (PoC) programmable network slicing technology for 5G networks on its M-CORD reference platform has been announced by Argela. The first operational rack outside ON.Lab is Argela’s M-CORD.
The latest world record in 5G technology
Researcher Steffen Malkowsky, together with research colleagues from Lund University, Sweden, and the University of Bristol, UK, has achieved a new world record in 5G technology, thereby surpassing the previous record that he himself contributed to last spring. The successful experiment is an important step towards a new type of wireless communication – a system where extremely weak radio signals manage to provide radically improved connect...
Testbed for LTE & 5G is launched in Rosenheim
Kathrein has opened a test environment for pioneering mobile network technologies at its headquarters in Rosenheim. It will be launched in collaboration with the Swedish communications corporation Ericsson. Kathrein will use the testbed to simulate novel applications in a trial network in order to gain valuable insights in the years to come. This will provide the basis for advancement of the current wireless communication standard LTE and the new...
Power amplifiers for energy-efficient 5G
The wireless data transmission via mobile communication is reliable and affordable. However, data volume per user is rising exponentially. Causes are not only the continuously growing number of smartphones, but also trends as V2V or M2M communication – cars and machines need to communicate in high speed with each other. From 2020 the 5G mobile standard is aiming to transmit data rapidly and energy-efficiently.
'More than a feeling'
Inspired by Ian Waterman; a man with no sense of touch who has to rely solely on sight for control; Tom Carter, CTO and Founder of Ultrahaptics, has created and developed ultrasonic free-space haptics technology. Carter explained at the Ultrahaptics Press Event last month at their offices in Bristol's Enterprise Zone, VR is never going to recreate a truly immersive experience without touch.
Shaping 5G wireless networks
Open air is getting crowded. Signals streaming back and forth from smart devices stretch existing fourth-generation wireless networks almost to their limits. As demands on these systems increase, University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers aim to open new frontiers in cutting-edge wireless communications. Their research is part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative announced to develop the next-gen wireless technologies.
Qorvo technology accelerates global 5G deployment
Qorvo has announced that its infrastructure solutions have supported more than twenty 5G field trials with global infrastructure providers. This is a key milestone in Qorvo’s strategy to support the evolving 5G ecosystem and help accelerate the deployment of 5G.
5G NR sub-6GHz prototype system and trial platform
A 5G New Radio (NR) prototype system and trial platform by Qualcomm Technologies has been announced by Qualcomm. The 5G NR prototype system operates in the sub-6GHz spectrum bands and is being utilised to showcase the Company’s innovative 5G designs to efficiently achieve multi-gigabit per second data rates and low latency.
