“…To this extent, this paper fills an important gap. Some recent papers have investigated 5G network configuration parameters related to the management of highband [53] and mid-band [27] deployments. The breadth of this work surpasses that of [27] which relies on the opensource tool MobileInsight [46], as it encompasses a wider range of geographical regions and configuration settings.…”

“…The use of XCAL allows us to extract not only (semi-)static 5G configuration parameters, but also detailed (millisecond scale) dynamic parameters exchanged between the 5G networks and UE. Further, unlike [53], our work focuses on 5G mid-band. Other works aim at understanding throughput predictability at high-bands [52], physical layer latency [25], mobility management [36], power consumption [54,66] as well as performance implications to specific applications like video streaming [54,59], or to the broader application ecosystem from the user [48] and carrier perspective [57].…”

Fifth Generation (5G) mobile networks mark a significant shift from previous generations of networks. By introducing a flexible design, 5G networks support highly diverse application requirements. Currently, the landscape of previous measurement studies does not shed light on 5G network configuration and the inherent implications to application performance. In this paper, we precisely fill this gap and report our in-depth multi-country measurement study on 5G deployed at mid-bands. This is the common playground for U.S. and European carriers. Our findings reveal key aspects on how carriers configure their network, including spectrum utilization, frame configuration, resource allocation and their implication on the application performance.

“…The first film focuses on shielding 39 and 52 GHz frequency bands, which corresponds to future 5G wireless communication band candidates [ 94 ]. In particular, the 39 GHz band (37–40 GHz) is known as the 5G Band n260, and most major carriers in the US, including AT&T and Verizon, already acquired this band through a frequency band auction by the Federal Communication Commission [ 95 ]. The composite layer of this film includes 70 wt% SrFe 10.9 Co 0.55 Ti 0.55 O 19 which is SrM with an FMR frequency near 39 GHz.…”

Absorption-Dominant mmWave EMI Shielding Films with Ultralow Reflection using Ferromagnetic Resonance Frequency Tunable M-Type Ferrites

Although there is a high demand for absorption-dominant electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials for 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, most current shielding materials are based on reflection-dominant conductive materials. While there are few absorption-dominant shielding materials proposed with magnetic materials, their working frequencies are usually limited to under 30 GHz. In this study, a novel multi-band absorption-dominant EMI shielding film with M-type strontium ferrites and a conductive grid is proposed. This film shows ultralow EMI reflection of less than 5% in multiple mmWave frequency bands with sub-millimeter thicknesses, while shielding more than 99.9% of EMI. The ultralow reflection frequency bands are controllable by tuning the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of M-type strontium ferrites and composite layer geometries. Two examples of shielding films with ultralow reflection frequencies, one for 39 and 52 GHz 5G telecommunication bands and the other for 60 and 77 GHz autonomous radar bands, are presented. The remarkably low reflectance and thinness of the proposed films provide an important advancement toward the commercialization of EMI shielding materials for 5G mmWave applications.

The roll-outs of fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) systems operating in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency band are essential for satisfying IMT-2020 requirements set forth by ITU-R in terms of the data rate at the access interface. To overcome mmWave-specific propagation phenomena, a number of radio access network densification options have been proposed, including a conventional base station (BS) as well as integrated access and backhaul (IAB) with terrestrial and aerial IAB nodes. The aim of this paper is to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the proposed deployments using coverage, spectral efficiency and BS density as the main metrics of interest. To this end, we develop a model capturing the specifics of various deployment options. Our numerical results demonstrate that, while the implementation of terrestrial relaying nodes potentially improves coverage and spectral efficiency, aerial relays provide the highest coverage, three times that of a direct link connection, and also significantly reduce the required BS density. The main benefit is provided by the link between the BS and the aerial relay. However, gains are highly dependent on a number of elements in antenna arrays and targeted outage probability. The use of terrestrial relays can be considered a natural trade-off between coverage and the aggregate rate.
