How Does 5G mobile networking standard work ?
Qualcomm said that you can expect typical speeds of around 1.4 Gbps that is twenty times faster than the current average speeds arounds the world.At peak rates the speeds can go upto 5 Gbps which is enough to stream 50 4K movies at the same time.Millimeter waves tend to be susceptible to interference and generally need to maintain line-of-sight for transmission to work. At the most basic level, mmwave transmissions usually go in a straight line between point A and point B. But something as simple as a person walking in between the receiver and transmitter can block the signal altogether.So companies have to figure out how to make sure the signal gets from base stations to mobile devices, and with 5G NR, part of the solution are two processes called beamforming and beamtracking.In the most simple scenario for beamforming, where the biggest challenge is that the receiver isn't facing the transmitter, the solution is as simple as bouncing the beam off a surface at a precise angle. The receiving device uses beam tracking to determine which signal is the strongest and picks it up.
It took a while till all these rules & regulations were made .5G will bring super fast internet to the masses .We can expect mobile that have 5G support from the first half of 2019.Many Chip makers are working hard to make 5G NR available to the masses at the earliest.Huwaei & Samsung are in race to bring the world's first 5G smartphone.Hope that future turns out better!
5G is the fifth generation of the mobile networking standard which is defined by the 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Program).The organization sets guidelines for every operating company in cellular communication space.The official name is set as 5G NR .The NR stands For New Radio.The name will be used just as we use LTE for 4G networks.
The method that will be used to roll out 5G NR is by tapping into new ,unused bands at the top of the radio spectrum.These high bands are known as millimeter waves(mm waves) and have been opened up by regulators for licensing .These bands are largely untouched by the public as the equipment required for the rollout of mm wave are highly expensive & inaccessible .
Since the bands are not much used they do not face the issue of congestion and can therefore enable faster data transfer speeds.
Not only that, your phone's antenna array has to be built in a way that your hand doesn't completely cover up the receiver at any time. Qualcomm's solution is to stash tiny antenna arrays in various corners of your phone, and is working with many major smartphone brands on where to place them.
