Empowering 5G Innovations
This presentation provides an overview of two major feature enhancements in 5G NR Rel-15/16, focused on carrier aggregation (CA) and user equipment (UE) power saving.
Coverage and capacity are important aspects in 5G, especially in the early stage of deployment. CA is a way to increase the radio interface transmission bandwidth which increases user throughput, utilises scattered spectrum and improves load balancing between carriers.
Meanwhile, with the accelerated evolution in UE and data connectivity demands for different types of traffic and applications, reducing UE power consumption has become a hot topic in the industry.
