The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is in the process of developing 5th generation (5G) radio access technology, the so-called new radio (NR). The aim is to achieve the performance requirements forIMT-2020 radio interface technology. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of the transmission of 5G NR uplink physical channels, such as physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), dedicated for data and control channels, respectively, as specified in the 3GPP standard, using digital signal processing (DSP)-assisted frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA) channel aggregation techniques on an analogue radio-over-fiber (A-RoF) architecture. We verified that there is ~34% spectral efficiency gain and lower error vector magnitude (EVM) achieved using the TDMA technique.

Spectrum scarcity has driven enhancements of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) in utilizing unlicensed bands in conjunction with licensed bands for delivering mobile data, resulting in the introduction of LTE unlicensed technologies such as Rel-13 LTE–Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA), Rel-14 LTE–Enhanced Licensed-Assisted Access (eLAA), and LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U). The next-generation radio access technology, 5G New Radio(NR), faces greater technical challenge due to the need to support frequency bands covering various spectrum licensing regimes and a wide range of frequencies (up to 100 GHz) with very different signal propagation characteristics. This paper presents an overview of LAA and eLAA technical features and 5G NR design considerations to achieve a unified access in licensed and unlicensed bands.

AbstractA miniature dual-band bandpass filter with interlocked stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) is presented in this paper, which was designed for the student design competition held in European Microwave Week 2019. This bandpass filter is required to have two concurrent passbands, namely, the first passband at 900–1000 MHz and the second passband at 1427–1518 MHz bands, which cover six designated bands in sub-6 GHz range of fifth generation (5G) New Radio Access Technology. Three stopbands are required at 500–850, 1050–1350, and 1600–2000 MHz, respectively. To achieve the best figure of merit, an interlocked configuration of two SIRs is proposed. One advantage is that the impedance ratio of the inter-locked SIR can be controlled to have two passbands at the required frequencies. Second, the coupling section of the interlocked SIR gives three transmission zeros distributed to every stopbands such that the stopband suppression are dramatically enhanced. The measured results show that the passband insertion losses are 2.16 dB at the first passband and 1.33 dB at the second passband, and the return losses are greater than 10 dB. The stopband suppression at the transmission zeros are greater than 38 dB. The circuit is very compact as 41.40 × 19.96 mm2, equivalent to $0.25 \times 0.12\,\lambda _g^2$.

High Spectral Efficiency

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has been proposed recently as an emerging radio access technology for the Fifth Generation (5G) to achieve high spectral efficiency (SE). In addition, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has been receiving exceptional attention because of its role in increasing energy efficiency (EE). In this paper, the performance of the downlink SWIPT-NOMA system has been evaluated. In this paper, signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) is derived for near and far users with outage probability for each user, where the near user acts as an energy harvesting (EH) node. The Genetic algorithm (GA) is used as an optimization technique for the power splitting ratio and power allocation coefficients to maximize the EE under eligible SE. The outage probability for the near and far user is taken into consideration for the optimization process. In this work, the results from the SE–EE metric show that the maximum EE reached 0.325 Mbits/J at SE of 9 bits/sec/Hz.
