One of the challenges with 5G that many people must have noticed are the poor uplink speeds, especially on the cell edge. While using mid/high-band TDD, these poor uplink characteristics result is a smaller cell size as compared to that of low bands or even 3G/4G.  This is where Huawei's innovation comes in play. Huawei White Paper on Innovation and Intellectual Property details this as follows: With the growing adoption of 5G in B2B domains, networks need to offer faster uplink speeds and lower latency without compromising downlink speeds. Huawei has come up with a series of solutions to increase uplink coverage and bandwidth. Our two vital technologies – Uplink & Downlink Decoupling, and Super Uplink – have been accepted by 3GPP as part of the Release 15 and Release 16 specifications for global 5G networks, respectively. Uplink & Downlink Decoupling: Adds low frequency bands for uplink transmission in areas that lack uplink coverage in 3.5 GHz bands. Uses high frequency ...

China is bringing 5G to not just people but even to the trains. While the subways already have fantastic 5G for the commuters, 5G can do a lot more than just B2C (often referred to as 5GtoC as opposed to 5GtoB, which is generally called B2B).   In a recent video, Huawei provides a glimpse of first 5G-enabled metro system in Nanjing and also 5G powered helmet. Quite a few use cases have been explained. Video as follows: The project has been ongoing since 2019 as you can see from the tweet below The 5G era has come! After the setup of more than 2,000 5G base stations in downtown and Jiangbei New Area, the Nanjing Metro Line 4 has also achieved full 5G coverage since 22 Dec, marking that the no-blind-spots 5G network will be around the corner. pic.twitter.com/BKW93PS7X2 — Discover Nanjing (@DiscoverNanjing) December 28, 2019 For people who may be curious on how connectivity is achieved in the metro, we are making a tutorial on that soon.  Related Posts :  Telecoms Infr...
