Beginners: Open RAN Terminology – Virtualization, Disaggregation & Decomposition3G4G
This video/presentation explains Open RAN terminology that different people, companies and organizations use. It starts with open interfaces and then looks at radio hardware disaggregation and compute disaggregation. Moving from 2G/3G/4G to 5G, it also explains the Open RAN approach to a decomposed architecture with RAN functional splits.
This forms part of our #OpenRAN videos where we discuss open movement, networks and #ORANalliance.

Beginners: Introduction to 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) Devices3G4G
A quick introduction to new 3GPP Release-17 feature called RedCap or Reduced Capability New Radio devices. This feature was earlier called NR-Light / NR-Lite and is sometimes referred to as Low Complexity NR devices.
This tutorial looks at why this is needed, how is it different from the existing 5G requirements for eMBB, URLLC & mMTC, and why can't 4G be used instead of 5G for this feature.
We will also look at some of the proposals for enhancement of RedCap that are being discussed for 5G-Advanced in 3GPP Release-18

In this basic tutorial we look at different types of RAN architectures that are always being discussed. We start with the Distributed RAN (D-RAN) and then look at Centralized and Cloud RAN (both referred to as C-RAN) architectures. We also quickly look at RAN functional splits for 5G and then tie this all together.
We also look at how Samsung and Nokia discuss these architectures in the context of 5G.

One of the common questions that we encounter is why are 5G speeds so low as we were promised 5G downlink speeds of 20 Gbps. Most people do not understand how the 5G speeds are calculated and what do they depend on. In many cases, the network won’t be capable of delivering higher speeds due to some or the other limitation.
In this presentation and video we will look at the real world 5G speeds and try to map it to why these speeds are what they are.

A short video looking at 5G terminology that is being used in standards and specifications.
This video / presentation looks at how RRC states have changed from 3G to 4G and not to 5G NR. Why was the new RRC_INACTIVE state introduced; how will it reduce the latency which will help URLLC; what are the different NAS states in 4G EPC and 5G Core and how do they map to RRC and UE states. Finally we look at some basic signalling example to understand the RRC Resume and Inactive state.

How to build high performance 5G networks with vRAN and O-RANQualcomm Research
5G networks are poised to deliver an unprecedented amount of data from a richer set of use cases than we have ever seen. This makes efficient networking in terms of scalability, cost, and power critical for the sustainable growth of 5G. Cloud technologies such as virtualization, containerization and orchestration are now powering a surge of innovation in virtualized radio access network (vRAN) infrastructure with modular hardware and software components, and standardized interfaces. While commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware platforms provide the compute capacity for running vRAN software, hardware accelerators will also play a major role in offloading real-time and complex signal processing functions. Together, COTS platforms and hardware accelerators provide the foundation for building the intelligent 5G network and facilitate innovative new use cases with the intelligent wireless edge.

Zahid Ghadialy, Principal Analyst and Consultant discusses the controversial topic of "Real 5G" or "True 5G". To explain the concept he goes back to explain the difference between ITU defined requirements of IMT-Advanced and how that translated to 4G via LTE/LTE-Advanced. The main point to remember is that "there will be different flavours of 5G whether you like it or not. Get over it!"

Realizing mission-critical industrial automation with 5GQualcomm Research
Manufacturers seeking better operational efficiencies, with reduced downtime and higher yield, are at the leading edge of the Industry 4.0 transformation. With mobile system components and reliable wireless connectivity between them, flexible manufacturing systems can be reconfigured quickly for new tasks, to troubleshoot issues, or in response to shifts in supply and demand.
There is a long history of R&D collaboration between Bosch Rexroth and Qualcomm Technologies for the effective application of these 5G capabilities to industrial automation use cases. At the Robert Bosch Elektronik GmbH factory in Salzgitter, Germany, this collaboration has reached new heights.
Download this deck to learn how:
• Qualcomm Technologies and Bosch Rexroth are collaborating to accelerate the Industry 4.0 transformation
• 5G technologies deliver key capabilities for mission-critical industrial automation
• Distributed control solutions can work effectively across 5G TSN networks
• A single 5G technology platform solves connectivity and positioning needs for flexible manufacturing

When we think about Satellites, we think about what we use them for but in reality they are our friends and helpers in the sky. In this tutorial we look at how satellites are useful as a connectivity option, how it helps us map and navigate, how we can use location based services, how we can watch broadcast video or listen to broadcast radio and last but not least, how satellites are helping us observe and monitor the earth.

This SON tutorial is part of the 3GPP Self-Organizing Networks series (#3GPPSONSeries). In this part we will look at what features were defined as part of 3GPP Release-9.
At a high level, we can say that the main focus of 3GPP for SON in Release-9 was Self-optimization. There are many different self-optimization use-cases that have been discussed as part of Rel-9. In this video we will look at Self-optimization at a very high level and discuss some of the use cases and features in the following videos.

Opinion: Why do so many new RAN players love Open RAN3G4G
If you look at the TIP (#OpenRAN) and O-RAN Alliance (#ORAN), the organizations driving the Open RAN vision and mission, you will notice many new small RAN players are joining one or both of them. In addition, you hear about other Open RAN consortiums that again include small innovative vendors that may not be very well known. This opinion piece looks at what is driving these companies to invest in Open RAN and what can they expect as return in future.

8. NR UE Categories (on-going)
• Discussions are on-going in 3GPP
• 5G UE will not signal UE categories anymore explicitly to the network
• Definition will be in the spec but just for marketing concept
• Likely KPI to define UE categories: peak data rate, reflecting the best achievable data rate
among the operation modes supported by the UE
• 5G NR spectrum allocations are unclear in certain regions (impact data rate)

• Use cases – study on 5G positioning use cases covers diverse use case and scenarios (IoT,
V2X, Industry 4.0, emergency services, Aerials, Location based Services)
• Next: New 5G NR Positioning Study to start in Rel-16 (Oct’2018)
• Some potential NR positioning benefits: wider bandwidths expect to provide better ToA
resolution, massive antenna systems, beam angles and ToA triangulation, flexible NR
network architecture; RTK for precise positioning

5G NR Positioning Trend
@SylviaLuUkCW SIG Event Sep 2018
23. • Transition to 5G is an evolution, but could also transfer verticals
• 5G NR is designed for long term coexistence with 4G LTE
• 5G systems evolution direction: connecting verticals; need more inputs from verticals,
more collaboration
• Existing LPWA (LTE-M and NB-IoT) solutions are 5G ready and will be forward-
compatible with 5G core networks
• NB-IoT and LTE-M, including their evolutions, are expected to be the vital 5G
components to address LPWA use cases in the 5G era
• NR-IIoT to address IIoT use cases: factory automation; leveraging NR URLLC and TSN
• 5G UE will not signal UE categories anymore explicitly to the network, definition however
will be in the spec for marketing concept
• NR-V2X to address advanced V2X use cases
• NR Positioning: highly accurate positioning (centimetre), hybrid positioning
