Accelerating the mobile ecosystem expansion in the 5G Era with LTE Advanced ProQualcomm Research
5G will connect virtually everything around us to transform a wide range of industries — manufacturing, automotive, logistics, and many more, and we are on track to make 5G NR — the global 5G standard — a commercial reality by 2019. However, this first phase of 5G mainly focuses on enhanced mobile broadband services, which will contribute to part of the total projected $12T 5G economy. 5G NR will continue to evolve in Release 16 and beyond to further expand 5G’s reach to new devices, services, and ecosystem players.
So, do we have to wait until 2020+ for the next phase of 5G NR before we can start enabling new mobile use cases?
LTE Advanced Pro will fill the gap and is continuing to evolve to bring new capabilities and efficiencies. Check out this presentation for:
• Gigabit LTE: anchoring the 5G mobile experience now with over 45 commercial networks globally. Our 3rd gen chipset — the Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 can deliver up to 2 Gbps.
• LTE IoT: starting to connect the massive IoT today, and its continued evolution will be fully leveraged by 5G NR IoT in Rel-16+.
• C-V2X: establishing the foundation for enhanced safety use cases in Rel-14 and a continued 5G NR C-V2X evolution for future autonomous vehicles.
• Private networks: delivering an optimized solution for the industrial IoT, and establishing the foundation to private 5G NR networks that will enable new use cases.
5G networks will provide vastly increased capabilities over 4G networks. 5G is expected to deliver peak data rates of up to 10 Gbps, end-to-end latencies of 1 ms or less, connectivity for at least 1 million devices per square kilometer, and network energy efficiency improvements of up to 90%. However, 5G networks are still in development and large-scale commercial deployments are not expected until around 2020. In the meantime, 4G networks are being enhanced through technologies like LTE-Advanced, VoLTE, and WiFi calling to help meet some 5G requirements and enable new applications and use cases.
5 G SYSTEMS IS THE FUTURE WILL BE FAST WITH UNIMAGINABLE SPEED AND WITH LOTS OF SERVICES.Though 5G is still in development stage it has lots of promising features that will definitely change our future. For this data hungry and speed loving generation 5G will definitely be the hottest technology and it will certainly make our future really exciting.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

We are overcoming the mobile mmWave challenge
Proving the skeptics wrong about mmWave can never be used for mobile
1 LOS: Line of sight, NLOS: Non-line-of-sight
Limited coverage and too costly
Significant path loss means coverage limited to just a
few hundred feet, thus requiring too many small cells
Significant coverage with co-siting
Analog beamforming w/ narrow beam width to overcome path
loss. Comprehensive system simulations reusing existing sites.
Works only line-of-sight (LOS)1
Blockage from hand, body, walls, foliage, rain etc.
severely limits signal propagation
Operating in LOS and NLOS1
Pioneered advanced beamforming, beam tracking leveraging
path diversity and reflections.
Only viable for fixed use
As proven commercial mmWave deployments are for
wireless backhauls and satellites
Supporting robust mobility
Robustness and handoff with adaptive beam steering and
switching to overcome blockage from hand, head, body, foliage.
Requiring large formfactor

CA across spectrum bands
E.g., tight CA between 5G NR mmWave and sub-6 GHz to
address mmWave coverage gaps
CA across FDD and TDD bands
Sub-1 GHz and mid/high band aggregation; supplemental uplink
for better coverage, supplemental downlink for capacity
CA across spectrum types
E.g., Licensed and unlicensed with 5G NR Licensed Assisted

▪ LTE controlled sharing — 5G NR to avoid resources used by LTE (e.g., LTE CRS1)
▪ No impact to legacy LTE devices — DSS support only required for 5G NR devices
▪ System efficiency depends on LTE/5G NR traffic volume and device penetration
DSS & carrier aggregation are
key enablers for SA migration
