Study Notes
3GPP
- Stands for 3rd Generation Partnership Project
- Responsible for developing and standardizing mobile telecommunications technologies, including 5G
- 3GPP releases are significant as they define the capabilities and features of each cellular generation
5G
- Release 18 is the latest as of August 2023
- Beamforming, achieved through Massive MIMO, is an important feature of the 5G New Radio Protocol Stack
- This technology enables highly directed transmission and reception of radio signals, improving network capacity, coverage, and energy efficiency
- Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) are emerging, allowing cellular communication via satellites
Network Functions
- 5G Core Network Functions are responsible for controlling and managing the 5G network, facilitating communication between devices and applications
Packet Switching
- Packet switching breaks data into smaller packets, each with its own address, sent independently over the network
- The network can route these packets differently for improved efficiency
- This can lead to queuing as packets wait to be transmitted
- It can also lead to packet loss if the network is overloaded or there are transmission errors
- Packet Loss is minimized by using efficient algorithms and error detection techniques
CEG5104: Cellular Networks 5G – Overview and Use Cases
- Covers topics like 5G system overview, network architecture, key technologies, use cases and applications
- This course provides an in-depth understanding of the various aspects of 5G technology, enabling students to contribute to the development and deployment of 5G services
