An automotive test lab in Silicon Valley lets RF engineers test the wireless connectivity of automotive components. In a video interview, Cetecom’s Amber Neves shows the test setup. The connected car. We hear about it constantly. Not only are cars connecting to phones and other consumer devices, they’re also connecting directly to cellular networks. That’s…
How AI spurs efficient wireless systems design
AI techniques can overcome nonlinear problems by extracting patterns automatically and efficiently.
How RedCap fits into 5G and IoT
Targeted at IoT applications, the reduced-capability in 5G will support a wide range of devices and applications that don’t need high speed, but do need low latency and high-reliability. 5G’s real promise comes not from mobile phones, but from industrial and business applications where network operators hope to recover the huge investments they’ve made in…
Future connectivity: More than just 5G
At the 2021 (virtual) IEEE Microwave Symposium, the industry looked at where wireless is going and how it will get beyond 5G.
How 5G Changes the V2X communications game
The concept of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications has been around for 20 years. So far, V2X has achieved limited uptake for several reasons. That’s about the change with the widespread deployment of 5G technology. The 5G new radio (NR) standards contain several innovations that will change the game for V2X technology, saving lives, reducing fuel consumption,…
The impacts of 5G on the future: A new era of connectivity
Pre-commercial 5G has successfully launched in some countries, and the world is already excited about commercial 5G. A new digital era emerges as almost every household device will be able to connect with the internet, enabling further evolution of IoT. The impact of 5G will not be limited to networking. New technologies will evolve with…
Keysight achieves 3GPP C-V2X RF conformance test case validation
Keysight Technologies announced that the company achieved 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) validation of the industry’s first cellular vehicle-to-everything communications (C-V2X) radio frequency (RF) conformance test case. As a result, Keysight is enabling the automotive industry to accelerate the commercialization of connected cars and autonomous vehicles. Performance validation of C-V2X is crucial for C-V2X certification…
Researchers Quantify the Impact of Autonomous Vehicles on Traffic
Researchers of the UWICORE laboratory, of the Department of Communications Engineering and the I3E Engineering Research Centre of the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, have proven that the coexistence between autonomous and conventional vehicles will noticeably influence the estimated effects of autonomous driving. According to this study, until at least 15 percent of vehicles…
Automotive C-V2X Prepares to Change Future Mobility
At MWC, a keynote called, “Connecting the Mobility World with 5G,” collected a panel of experts to explain how the deployment of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communication technology with 5G is changing the future mobility. Currently, LTE-V2X, an initial version of C-V2X, is close to its commercial launch, which would allow vehicles to communicate with one…
Millimeter Wave Automotive Radar Seeks to Improve Driver Safety
Every year, 1.25 million people are killed by car accidents, and human errors (drunk driving, speeding, ignoring traffic signals, and texting while driving) are responsible for more than 94 percent of these fatal accidents. This loss of 1.25 million lives per year is equivalent to seven, 500-passenger aircraft crashing every day. To reduce the number…
