Key 4G/5G Uplink (UL) Features & Enhancements

  • 4G/5G UL 256QAM – Higher-order modulation for increased uplink capacity and throughput.
  • PUSCH Waveform Adaptation – Optimizing uplink signal waveform for better performance in varying radio conditions.
  • DL Beamforming SRS Based – Downlink beamforming using Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) feedback for enhanced coverage and efficiency.
  • SRB3 Activation – Enabling a dedicated signaling radio bearer for efficient control plane communication.
  • PDSCH Multiplexing with DMRS – Enhancing physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission with Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS).
  • DMRS for PDSCH (Double Symbol) – Improving channel estimation and interference resilience with double-symbol DMRS allocation.
  • DMRS for PDSCH (Additional DMRS) – Additional DMRS configurations to enhance robustness in complex radio environments.
  • SRS Transmission Tuning – Optimizing SRS transmission parameters for better uplink scheduling and beamforming accuracy.
  • 5G UL Data Split/Aggregation – Distributing uplink traffic efficiently across multiple carriers or transmission paths.
  • 5G UL Fallback (Leg Switching) – Seamless transition to alternative uplink transmission modes for improved reliability.
  • 4G/5G - UL InterCell Interference Randomization – Reducing uplink interference between cells to enhance network performance.
  • 5G Pre-allocation/Proactive Scheduling – Advanced scheduling techniques to allocate uplink resources proactively, reducing latency.
  • 4G/5G UL Multi-User MIMO – Enhancing spectral efficiency by enabling multiple users to share uplink resources simultaneously.
  • 5G PUSCH Multiplexing with DMRS – Optimizing physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission with DMRS for better decoding.
  • Adhoc Actions – Dynamic adjustments and network optimizations based on real-time conditions and KPIs.
