InterDigital to Showcase 5G Millimeter Wave Integrated With OPENAIRINTERFACE LTE Solution
February 21 2018 - 8:31AM
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2018 -- InterDigital, Inc.
(NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and development
company, and OPENAIRINTERFACE™ SOFTWARE ALLIANCE (“OSA”) today
announced the planned demonstration of a 5G millimeter wave fully
digital beamforming prototype integrated with an LTE solution at
this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which runs from
February 26 to March 1, 2018.
The millimeter wave air interface (mmWave) is one of the key new
technologies being introduced into 3GPP’s 5G NR standard as an
enabler for high data rates and enhanced user experience. The
demonstration will showcase some of the fundamental concepts
enabling mmWave 5G integration with the existing LTE standard using
non-standalone mode. A terminal prototype platform on a moving
track will be used to demonstrate mmWave beam management and
handover between LTE and mmWave base stations.
“Integrating millimeter wave technology with LTE is not only the
most efficient approach to deploying 5G millimeter wave, but it has
also demonstrated several performance benefits, especially when
coupled with a fully digital beamformer,” said Doug Castor, Senior
Director, InterDigital. “Also, use of the OPENAIRINTERFACE™
solution positions us to extend this work with additional research
partners.”
The transformation from current beamforming technology, which
relies on analog or a hybrid of analog and digital, to fully
digital beamforming can result in reduction of latency and improve
radio link failure detection and recovery time. Therefore,
digital beamforming establishes itself as a promising further
improvement for future mmWave architectures.
Attendees of Mobile World Congress can see this demonstration,
along with panel discussions and additional 5G-related demos, at
InterDigital’s booth in Hall 7, Stand 7C61.
