Description

5G NR and Enhancements: From R15 to R16 introduces 5G standards, along with the 5G standardization procedure. The pros and cons of this technical option are reviewed, with the reason why the solution selected explained. The book's authors are 3GPP delegates who have been working on 4G/5G standardization for over 10 years. Their experience with the 5G standardization process will help readers understand the technology. Thousands of 3GPP papers and dozens of meeting minutes are also included to help explain how the 5G stand came into form.

Key features

  • Provides a complete introduction to 5G standards, including Release 15 and 16, the essential vertical features URLLC, V2X and unlicensed spectrum access
  • Introduces the 5G standardization procedure, along with the pros, cons and technical options
  • Explains the “balance” system design principle from the 5G standardization procedure
  • Presents a vision of 5G R17 and 6G
