Nokia Networks has achieved a transmission speed of 19.1 Gbps and lower latency using the latest 5G cmWave technology.
In a trial in South Korea, Nokia achieved several significant highlights, including demonstrating an access point sending downlink transmission over the air and receiving it at the mobile terminal. It also evaluated radio channel performance at the cmWave frequency band. Another result was providing information on runtime while the mobile terminal was moving or where paths were blocked between the access point and the terminal.
The trial uses an OFDMA-based TDD system with 4x100 MHz carriers and 8x8 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO), enabling eight independent data streams sent between the base station and the user device. In addition, 256QAM modulation enables the sending of eight bits of information per modulation symbol. The scaled OFDM has a shorter symbol length and Transmit Time Interval (TTI) that is expected to achieve a lower latency than with LTE.
