Standalone (SA) and non-Standalone (non-SA) Networks in 5G


 

We know 5G networks in deploying all over the world gradually. Now great challenge to engineers and scientists is to replace existing 4G network to 5G network. But the process is time consuming and costly (not economic). That's why it takes a decade to bring completely new 'G' (generation) in telecom industry. If we want to deploy new generation suddenly then it will not be economic. One of the many reason is customers will not be suddenly change their smartphones that supports the previous 'G' (say 4G LTE). If we suddenly deploy complete 5G networks then telecom operators will not get enough customers. That will badly impact their business model. So, it is required nearly a decade to deploy a new mobile wireless generation. 

5G is not exception of that. Nowadays, we are enabling 5G facility with the help of existing 4G networks. Obviously, their will be added some new features of 5G. For that, we have to integrate some new equipment to the existing 4G networks. When 5G is operated with the help of existing previous networks (i.e., existing 4G networks) then it is called non standalone (non-SA) 5G network. Oppositely, when 5G is deployed completely as a new network and without the help of previously existing network then it is called standalone (SA) network.

Beamforming Techniques Hybrid Beamforming... Page 1 | Page 2 | Hybrid Beamforming: Hybrid beam formation was developed to address some of the limitations of digital pre-coding approaches. Every antenna element is connected to an RF chain in digital pre-coding (beam forming) method. We also know that each RF chain is in charge of providing a separate data stream between the transmitter and the receiver. We know that a larger number of independent data streams leads to higher data rates. It has a spatial multiplexing feature for MIMO. As a result, we may assume that switching from MIMO to massive MIMO will benefit us more in terms of spatial multiplexing in massive MIMO, where each antenna is coupled to a single RF chain. We'll proceed with a definition of hybrid beam forming. Overview of hybrid beam forming with example: Unlike digital beam forming, more than one antenna element is connected to a single RF chain in hybr...

MATLAB Code for Rms Delay Spread

RMS delay spread is crucial when you need to know how much the signal is dispersed in time due to multipath propagation, the spread (variance) around the average. In high-data-rate systems like LTE, 5G, or Wi-Fi, even small time dispersions can cause ISI. RMS delay spread is directly related to the amount of ISI in such systems. RMS Delay Spread [↗] Delay Spread Calculator Enter delays (ns) separated by commas: Enter powers (dB) separated by commas: Calculate   The above calculator Converts Power to Linear Scale: It correctly converts the power values from decibels (dB) to a linear scale. Calculates Mean Delay: It accurately computes the mean excess delay, which is the first moment of the power delay profile. Calculates RMS Delay Spread: It correctly calculates the RMS delay spread, defined as the square root of the second central moment of the power delay profile.   MATLAB Code  clc...

Channel Impulse Response (CIR) (with MATLAB + Simulator)

📘 Overview & Theory 📘 How CIR Affects the Signal 🧮 Online Channel Impulse Response Simulator 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading What is the Channel Impulse Response (CIR)? The Channel Impulse Response (CIR) is a concept primarily used in the field of telecommunications and signal processing. It provides information about how a communication channel responds to an impulse signal. It describes the behavior of a communication channel in response to an impulse signal. In signal processing, an impulse signal has zero amplitude at all other times and amplitude ∞ at time 0 for the signal. Using a Dirac Delta function, we can approximate this. Fig: Dirac Delta Function The result of this calculation is that all frequencies are responded to equally by δ(t) . This is crucial since we never know which frequenci...

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation & Demodulation (with Simulation)

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Theoretical Foundations: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is a discrete frequency modulation scheme wherein the digital information is encoded via instantaneous shifts in the carrier signal's frequency. The fundamental implementation is Binary FSK (BFSK), which maps binary data onto two distinct, discrete spectral states. A binary '1' (the "mark" state) is represented by a carrier frequency \( f_1 \), while a binary '0' (the "space" state) corresponds to frequency \( f_2 \). Each symbol is sustained for a bit interval denoted by \( T_b \). FSK Transmitter Characterization: The mathematical model for the modulated BFSK output \( s(t) \) is defined as: \[ s(t) = \begin{cases} A_c \cos(2\pi f_1 t), & \text{for } m = 1 \\ A_c \cos(2\pi f_2 t), & \text{for } m = 0 \end{cases} \] ...
