Design & verify 5G systems, Part 1

Part 1

The 5G standard is a leap forward from all four previous wireless standards, promising faster speeds, higher data transfer rates and lower latency with wider coverage. Cumulatively, 5G will put an end to congestion and latency issues.
Siemens EDA's Veloce hardware help designers meet the myriad demands of creating a new wireless standard to replace aging 4G specifications.

In a 5G environment, a selection must be performed within milliseconds, compelling the system to operate at the physical layer. When the communication degrades, switching to a new frequency or another modulation scheme must be accomplished within a few milliseconds.

It is important to handle the QoS closer to the physical layer to also enable the connection of different types of devices to the network.

The 5G standard is a leap forward from all four previous wireless standards, promising faster speeds, higher data transfer rates, and lower latency with wider coverage. Cumulatively, 5G will put an end to congestion and latency issues hampering the aging 4G standard.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this series, which outlines a verification strategy for a 5G system and the need for hardware emulation.
