DL MIMO efficiency enhancements for LTE


MIMO is an effective technique to improve spectral efficiency and increase overall network capacity. SRS can be utilized to improve DL MIMO performance, especially for massive MIMO in TDD. In release-16 SRS capacity and coverage are enhanced by introducing more than one SRS symbol in a UL normal subframe and introducing virtual cell ID for SRS. More than one symbol for SRS in a UL normal subframe With...

Network Slicing


 Release 16 Network Slicing addresses two major limitations of Release 15 in 5GC: (1) Enhancement of interworking between EPC and 5GC when UE moves from EPC to 5GC, the target serving AMF may not be able to serve all the PDU sessions that the UE intends to move to the 5GC.  More specifically, the following aspects needs to be addressed: -             ...

5GC location Services


Enhancement to the 5GC Location Services The Location Services, specified in TS 23.273, include aspects of both regulatory and commercial nature. The architecture and signalling procedures in NG-RAN are defined in TS 38.305. Following aspects have been specified for 5G Location Services: -    Service based 5G location architecture, including roaming and non-roaming, Function description...

LTE in high speed


 In Rel-13 and 14, the mobility and throughput performance were enhanced to cover high speeds (up to 350 km/h) by specifying the requirements for UE RRM, UE demodulation and base station demodulation, considering the two types of operator’s practical deployments shown...

ATSSS support in 5g


Coexistence with Non-3GPP systems: ATSSSThe ATSSS feature enables a multi-access PDU Connectivity Service, which can exchange PDUs between the UE and a data network by simultaneously using one 3GPP access network and one non-3GPP access network and two independent N3/N9...
