IEEE Speaker: What is 5G NR?

Abstract:

5G is poised to transform many industries and societies. But what is 5G? How is it different from 4G? This talk is to introduce the Radio Access Network (RAN) of 5G, also known as New Radio (NR). The talk will give an overview of 5G NR, followed by the details of various technical aspects specified in the 3GPP standards, including initial access, control channel, data channel, beam management, and bandwidth parts. The emphasis will be on the rationales behind the technical aspects.
