Recorded 24th June 2022 5G improves performance in areas critical to many of the new use cases that it has been designed to support - providing a toolkit of techniques that we can use to support Connected Innovation, Smart Technologies, and the Internet of Things. These 5G capabilities build on 4G techniques and provide significant revenue opportunities for telecoms and adjacent industries. This talk focuses on some of the key 5G tools and techniques available to us (including those adopted from 4G), specifically in support of the Internet of Things (IoT). We cover the device, radio, and core network aspects;...

Recorded: 10th June 2022 5G enables cost effective capacity provision whilst at the same time improving performance in areas critical to many of the new use cases that 5G has been designed to support. In particular, the low latency capabilities of 5G are seen as essential in enabling connectivity for industrial automation / robotics and for connected vehicles – among many other applications. Starting with the requirements and performance targets, this talk explores how low latency (and ultra-low latency) is achieved in 5G from a technical perspective. We delve into the different mechanisms and features that are available and the flexible...

Recorded: 23rd May 2022 The developments within 4G LTE provides much of the foundation for 5G. In fact, 5G incorporates 4G (but not 2G or 3G) as part of the ongoing 5G system development. Whilst 5G introduces more flexibility and efficiency into the overall cellular system (in a number of ways, including enabling efficient use of mm Wave spectrum), 4G will remain an integral part of the system for many years to come. Effective technology decision making is made easier because many of the improvements that LTE Advanced and Advanced Pro bring to cellular will remain relevant and fully utilised as...

Recorded: 3rd May 2022 This webinar aims to clarify why there is a requirement for more radio spectrum for 5G systems, what bands have been identified, and why, and the challenges and solutions these new bands bring.      Topics covered include: The relationship between bandwidth and bit rate The relationship between frequency band and coverage Bands identified for 5G by regulators Impact of radio channel bandwidth on spectrum allocations Impact of wavelength upon antenna dimensioning Propagation issues associated with Millimetre wave bands (mmWave) How higher frequencies facilitate the realisation of massive MIMO Impact of mmWave on device power consumption Webinar Speaker: ...

Recorded: 28th April 2022 Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has capitalised on Cloud Computing to revolutionize the way Communications Services are deployed and used, using virtualized IT infrastructure, to generate major improvements in flexibility and availability, offering opportunities to reduce the time to deploy new services and realise cost savings. Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC; formerly Mobile Edge Computing) extends the NFV concept to deploy the virtualization resources at the network edge rather than in the core/public network – near to the users, thus enabling a range of additional benefits in terms of application performance, support for users, access to network information, data...
