Standalone (SA) and non-Standalone (non-SA) Networks in 5G


 

We know 5G networks in deploying all over the world gradually. Now great challenge to engineers and scientists is to replace existing 4G network to 5G network. But the process is time consuming and costly (not economic). That's why it takes a decade to bring completely new 'G' (generation) in telecom industry. If we want to deploy new generation suddenly then it will not be economic. One of the many reason is customers will not be suddenly change their smartphones that supports the previous 'G' (say 4G LTE). If we suddenly deploy complete 5G networks then telecom operators will not get enough customers. That will badly impact their business model. So, it is required nearly a decade to deploy a new mobile wireless generation. 

5G is not exception of that. Nowadays, we are enabling 5G facility with the help of existing 4G networks. Obviously, their will be added some new features of 5G. For that, we have to integrate some new equipment to the existing 4G networks. When 5G is operated with the help of existing previous networks (i.e., existing 4G networks) then it is called non standalone (non-SA) 5G network. Oppositely, when 5G is deployed completely as a new network and without the help of previously existing network then it is called standalone (SA) network.

Constellation Diagram of ASK in Detail

A binary bit '1' is assigned a power level of E b \sqrt{E_b}  (or energy E b E_b ), while a binary bit '0' is assigned zero power (or no energy).   Simulator for Binary ASK Constellation Diagram SNR (dB): 15 Run Simulation Noisy Modulated Signal (ASK) Original Modulated Signal (ASK) Energy per bit (Eb) (Tb = bit duration): We know that all periodic signals are power signals. Now we’ll find the energy of ASK for the transmission of binary ‘1’. E b = ∫ 0 Tb (A c .cos(2П.f c .t)) 2 dt = ∫ 0 Tb (A c ) 2 .cos 2 (2П.f c .t) dt Using the identity cos 2 x = (1 + cos(2x))/2: = ∫ 0 Tb ((A c ) 2 /2)(1 + cos(4П.f c .t)) dt ...

Periodogram in MATLAB

Power Spectral Density Estimation Using the Periodogram Step 1: Signal Representation Let the signal be x[n] , where: n = 0, 1, ..., N-1 (discrete-time indices), N is the total number of samples. Step 2: Compute the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) The DTFT of x[n] is: X(f) = ∑ x[n] e -j2Ï€fn For practical computation, the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is used: X[k] = ∑ x[n] e -j(2Ï€/N)kn , k = 0, 1, ..., N-1 k represents discrete frequency bins, f_k = k/N * f_s , where f_s is the sampling frequency. Step 3: Compute Power Spectral Density (PSD) The periodogram estimates the PSD as: S_x(f_k) = (1/N) |X[k]|² S_x(f_k) ...

MATLAB Code for Rms Delay Spread

RMS delay spread is crucial when you need to know how much the signal is dispersed in time due to multipath propagation, the spread (variance) around the average. In high-data-rate systems like LTE, 5G, or Wi-Fi, even small time dispersions can cause ISI. RMS delay spread is directly related to the amount of ISI in such systems. RMS Delay Spread [↗] Delay Spread Calculator Enter delays (ns) separated by commas: Enter powers (dB) separated by commas: Calculate   The above calculator Converts Power to Linear Scale: It correctly converts the power values from decibels (dB) to a linear scale. Calculates Mean Delay: It accurately computes the mean excess delay, which is the first moment of the power delay profile. Calculates RMS Delay Spread: It correctly calculates the RMS delay spread, defined as the square root of the second central moment of the power delay profile.   MATLAB Code  clc...

5G Channel Estimation using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP)

5G Channel Estimation... For millimeter wave massive MIMO communication in 5G, we observe that the number of available multipath that avails communication is much smaller than the maximum connections possible between the transmitter(TX) and receiver(RX). Only a few MPCs reach at receiver with good received signal strength. For example, the number of strong MPCs that reaches the receiver is L and there is N transmitter antenna on the transmitter side and N number of antennas on the receiver side. So, from the channel matrix of the massive MIMO system, we can say the total number of available paths or connections between TX and RX is equal to, N X N or, N^(2) Now, L << N^(2) For simplicity, if the number of possible strong beams from the transmitter and receiver sides are NtBeams and NrBeams, then, L = NtBeams * NrBeams If we look up the massive MIMO channel matrix , then, H= Primarily, if the number of available MPCs to avail communication bet...

OFDM for 4G & 5G

📘 Overview 📘 Example: (OFDM using QPSK) 🧮 MATLAB Codes 🧮 Q & A and Summary 📚 Further Reading   Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing When a signal with high bandwidth traverses through a medium, it tends to disperse more compared to a signal with lower bandwidth. A high-bandwidth signal comprises a wide range of frequency components. Each frequency component may interact differently with the transmission medium due to factors such as attenuation, dispersion, and distortion. OFDM combats the high-bandwidth frequency selective channel by dividing the original signal into multiple orthogonal multiplexed narrowband signals. In this way it, overcomes the inter-symbol interferences (ISI) issue.
