4G/5G – DL/UL Inter-Cell Interference Randomization Brief Description and expected benefits: * When the Cell Load is low; the g-NB.(Scheduler) staggers the resources allocated to adjacent cells as far away from each other as possible in multi-cell networking scenarios. * Usually the resources allocation will be staggered based on the
5G
Introduction: * UE battery life is an important aspect of the user's experience, which will influence the adoption of 5G NR handsets and/or services. It is critical to study UE power consumption to ensure that UE power efficiency for 5G NR UEs can be better than that of

Learn about 5G DMRS for PBCH (1) What is the primary function of DMRS for PBCH? * The UE uses DMRS to estimate the propagation channel experience by the PBCH. The resultant information is used to demodulate the PBCH and subsequently decode the Master Information Block. (2) How and where is
5G
What are 4G S-TMSI and 5G S-TMSI? * 4G S-TMSI, and is part of GUTI, it is used to identify a UE within a specific MME Pool. * 5G S-TMSI can be used to identify a UE within a specific AMF Region. How can you trace and check them? * In 4G: It

💡 What is it? PDSCH Multiplexing simply means leveraging the free resources within the PDSCH DMRS Symbol for optimal PDSCH utilization. 📈Expected Gain: Experience an increase in the maximum user throughput for users in good radio conditions. 🚫 Expected Drawbacks: There's always a tradeoff. Be mindful of the impact on

What are the common 5G NSA Mobility Common Handover failures Root-Causes? (1) Missing X2 Definition/Missing Neighbors * Unlike legacy 4G handover scenarios, where missing neighbors may cause quality issues or call drops but not affect the handover KPIs as the handover attempt will not be initiated at the first place

Did you know that 5G SRS can be configured with either a full-band SRS bandwidth or a narrow-band SRS bandwidth❓ - Purpose of SRS: Let's revisit the basics. SRS serves uplink channel measurement, time-frequency synchronization, and beam management. - Advantages and Disadvantages: So, what are the primary pros
