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.

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) Modulation & Demodulation (with Simulation)

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK): Signal Analysis and Characterization Theoretical Overview: Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) represents a primary digital modulation technique wherein information is encoded through discrete variations in the carrier signal's instantaneous amplitude. In a Binary ASK (BASK) framework, the modulation process maps binary data onto two distinct amplitude levels. Specifically, the binary '1' (mark) is conveyed by a sinusoidal carrier with amplitude A c and frequency f c over a bit interval T b , while the binary '0' (space) is represented by a null signal state. This particular signaling method is widely recognized as On-Off Keying (OOK) . It is technically realized by gating a carrier oscillator with a unipolar baseband sequence, effectively performing a product modulation that shifts the baseband spectrum to the carrier frequency. ASK Transmitter Architecture: ...

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Modulation & Demodulation (with Simulation)

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) Theoretical Foundations: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) is a discrete frequency modulation scheme wherein the digital information is encoded via instantaneous shifts in the carrier signal's frequency. The fundamental implementation is Binary FSK (BFSK), which maps binary data onto two distinct, discrete spectral states. A binary '1' (the "mark" state) is represented by a carrier frequency \( f_1 \), while a binary '0' (the "space" state) corresponds to frequency \( f_2 \). Each symbol is sustained for a bit interval denoted by \( T_b \). FSK Transmitter Characterization: The mathematical model for the modulated BFSK output \( s(t) \) is defined as: \[ s(t) = \begin{cases} A_c \cos(2\pi f_1 t), & \text{for } m = 1 \\ A_c \cos(2\pi f_2 t), & \text{for } m = 0 \end{cases} \] ...

Design of CMOS XOR/XNOR Gates

Design of CMOS XOR/XNOR Gates The semiconductor industry has experienced rapid integration of multimedia applications into mobile electronics, leading to very high integration density in CMOS VLSI. As operating frequencies increase, power consumption, speed, silicon area, and reliability become critical considerations. The XOR-XNOR circuits are fundamental building blocks in arithmetic circuits (Full Adders, Multipliers), compressors, comparators, parity checkers, code converters, error-detecting/correcting codes, and phase detectors. Their performance directly impacts the complex circuits they are used in. Design goals include full output voltage swing, low power consumption, reduced transistor count, minimal delay, and simultaneous non-skewed outputs. Static Logic (Static CMOS) Stat...
