3GPP Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) | 17th November 2022  Join Les Granfield on 17th November (10-11am UK time) for this live training webinar looking at 3GPP Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) (17 Nov) This webinar looks at how 3GPP propose to use the 5G New Radio (NR) to provide 5G cellular coverage in hard-to-reach locations such as ships at sea, airborne aircraft, trains and remote geographical locations using non-terrestrial flying objects.   The flying objects are more commonly known as satellites but the NTN will also include High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS), Air-to-Ground Systems as well as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).  Topics include: Competing commercial satellite systems...

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: 28th February 2022 The 5G standards support many different use cases and deployment scenarios using a wide range of techniques and design principles. In turn, these support diverse network capabilities and performance centred on attributes such as data rates, capacity, latency, energy use, user density, reliability, and security. In order to map these capabilities to the use cases in a way that maximises overall efficiency and cost effectiveness, the concept of the “Network Slice” has been introduced. It allows for a range of “capability sets” or “virtual networks” (supporting different use cases, deployment scenarios, or even different customers) to...
