About the Event

5G enables access to higher frequency spectrum than previous generations. In order to efficiently use that high frequency spectrum [and put very simply], antenna size needs to be smaller, and we need to use more of them. This in turn means that massive antenna arrays are a key component of 5G deployment - where lots of antennas are used in a very organised way to focus energy and drive spectral efficiency. The ways in which 5G data streams are mapped to those antenna arrays is highly flexible, offering the operator a range of beamforming and massive MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) options.

This talk explores the options and techniques available, as well as setting out the most appropriate deployment scenarios. We aim to make sense of this highly complex subject – looking at the impact of advanced antenna systems without getting stuck into the mathematics!

Topics to be discussed include:

• Frequency Bands for 5G
• Propagation Characteristics - UHF to mmWave
• Frequency and Typical Cell Ranges
• Dual Connectivity
• Antenna Arrays
• MIMO Explained
• SU-MIMO
• MU-MIMO
• Massive MIMO Techniques
• Beamforming in 5G
• Advanced Antenna Techniques
• Use of Reference Signals and Feedback for Beam Management
• Advanced Antenna Use Cases
