Included is a detailed description of the NR physical-layer structure and higher-layer protocols, RF and spectrum aspects and co-existence and interworking with LTE. The book provides a good understanding of NR and the different NR technology components, giving insight into why a certain solution was selected.
Content includes:
- Key radio-related requirements of NR, design principles, technical features - Details of basic NR transmission structure, showing where it has been inherited from LTE and where it deviates from it, and the reasons why - NR Multi-antenna transmission functionality - Detailed description of the signals and functionality of the initial NR access, including signals for synchronization and system information, random access and paging - LTE/NR co-existence in the same spectrum, the benefits of their interworking as one system - The different aspects of mobility in NR RF requirements for NR will be described both for BS and UE, both for the legacy bands and for the new mm-wave bands
