What is a scheduler and what does it do in a 5G network?
A scheduler dynamically allocates resources, including time, frequency, and power, to serve user equipment (UEs) connected to a base station (gNB) on a 5G network. Delivering high-quality service (QoS) to diverse 5G use cases, such as ultra-reliable Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC), Massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC), and Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), is critical. Scheduling is not explicitly…Standards group to address 6G multiple access
ETSI has established a new Industry Specification Group (ISG) focused on Multiple Access Techniques (MAT) for 6G mobile systems. The group aims to build industry consensus on numerous multiple-access techniques based on 3GPP specifications. The ISG MAT will explore candidate techniques such as Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA), Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA), Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access…Dev kit lets engineers add NFC into designs
STMicroelectronics is making it easier to explore creative applications for contactless near-field communication (NFC) technology with a novel development kit featuring the new ST25R200 reader/writer IC. ST’s latest-generation ST25R200 NFC transceiver combines an advanced design for strong and clear wireless connections with low power consumption and controls for signal quality and power management. The STEVAL-25R200SA…Why do high frequency signals reflect?
High-frequency signals, like those used in 5G communications, are reflected by impedance discontinuities. Their shorter wavelengths can change their impedance. When a signal arrives at an impedance transition, part of it is absorbed and transmitted, and part is reflected. The strength of the reflection depends on the magnitude of the impedance mismatch. The phenomenon of…10 GHz RF cables feature double shields
Fairview Microwave has launched a line of TCOM cable assemblies. They are designed to deliver outstanding RF performance with options tailored for either low-loss or low-PIM configurations, depending on the connector type. The TCOM cable assemblies feature a robust design with two shields, ensuring enhanced signal integrity and minimized interference. With performance guaranteed across a wide…Vehicles get Wi-Fi 7 with ublox module
u-blox has launched its first automotive-grade Wi-Fi 7 module, enabling OEMs to enhance the user experience of in-vehicle infotainment and telematics. According to the TSR Wireless Connectivity Market Report 2024, the attach rate of Wi-Fi for in-vehicle infotainment and telematics control unit applications will increase sharply over the next five years. Wi-Fi 7 will be…Sponsored Content See More >
