Bellevue, Washington. – January 24th 2024: Developing a comprehensive roadmap for new commercial spectrum is necessary to ensure the successful deployment of future mobile networks. Today, 5G Americas, the voice of 5G and beyond in the Americas, released a white paper entitled “The Evolution of 5G Spectrum” that provides insights into the future of mobile networks and provides guidance on how to successfully deploy mobile networks. Highlighted the important role of licensed spectrum. 5G-Advanced and his 6G capabilities in the future.
Chris Pearson, president of 5G Americas, said: An industry roadmap to more spectrum will help ensure the effective deployment of future networks and accelerate the emergence of breakthrough technologies. ”
Balancing licensed and unlicensed spectrum is critical for the mobile industry. The upper midband spectrum, ranging from 7.125 to 15.35 GHz, is key to leveraging existing infrastructure and increasing capacity. 5G Americas is focused on identifying new spectrum critical to the U.S. National Spectrum Strategy pipeline and ensuring rapid commercialization and sustained technology leadership.
“5G Americas supports the spectrum range from 7.125 to 15.35 GHz, especially below 10 GHz, for licensed mobile operations, considering the balance between capacity and coverage. To open bands in this range, Relocation considerations and shared strategies are needed. In addition, mmWave bands can be used for deployment in dense locations such as urban centers, transportation hubs, downtown areas, and entertainment centers, as well as for fixed wireless access deployments. It’s very important. The sub-THz band provides very high bandwidth for specialized use cases,” said workgroup co-leader Alexandar Damjano, principal engineer and manager at Qualcomm Technologies. Bitch said.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)’s International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-2030 codified various usage scenarios that form the basis of spectrum needs. These scenarios highlight the need for high data rates and wide area coverage for applications such as immersive experiences, next-generation medical monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and joint communications and sensing (JCAS).
“With cellular network traffic expected to increase fourfold by 2028, the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference recently identified spectrum in the 4.4-15.5 GHz range for future wireless technology deployment. “The wireless industry needs access to more spectrum to support new applications such as XR, connected cars, and the Metaverse,” said the workgroup co-leaders. brian olsenSenior Manager of Technology Development and Strategy, T-Mobile USA.
Key topics covered in this latest 5G America whitepaper include:
- US frequency band position compared to other countries
- Expected spectrum needs from 2027 to 2030
- Desired spectral characteristics of target band
- Technologies that enable the use of cellular systems in new bands
- Current and future uses of mmWave
- Sub-THz spectrum for new 6G use cases
- ITU WRC-23 decision
A condensed briefing paper will also be provided.
