5G Waveform Candidates: Rohde & Schwarz
Application Note:
Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Massive Machine Type Communication, Ultra-reliable and low latency communication have been identified as the requirements to be supported by the 5th Generation of Mobile Communication – 5G.
5G is being extensively discussed in the wireless industry especially around the need for a new airlink. A great deal of research and pre-development is being conducted worldwide, including an analysis of the waveforms and access principles that are the basis for current LTE and LTE-Advanced networks.
In this application note R&S discuss potential 5G waveform candidates, list their advantages and disadvantages and compare them to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which is used in LTE/LTE-Advanced.
