The successful demonstration shows the close cooperation and deep power of the above companies in timely trial to pave the way for the launch of 5G standard commercial infrastructure and terminals.Ericsson's 5G new air interface pre-commercial base station and Qualcomm's new 5G air interface terminal The prototype will enable many operators to conduct field tests separately on their own networks.
Ericsson executive vice president and head of business unit Networks Fredrik Jejdling said: '5G technology research and development for many years and the leadership and promote the standardization work to lay the foundation of this important technology milestone by working in close cooperation with key partners, to carry out early trials. and continue to improve our global portfolio, we are sure that the standards-compliant technology to our own customers and partners so that they benefit from it. '
Christiano Armon, Qualcomm's executive vice president and chief executive of QCT, said: "Making multi-vendor interworking based on the new 5G global air interface standard and making a fundamental contribution to the 3GPP standards is a true reflection of our longstanding 5G leadership that will drive compliance Standard commercial networks and terminals are available from 2019. As we did with 3G and 4G, we are excited to work with industry leader Ericsson to accelerate the global 5G. '
The Interworking System (IoDT) is for low-level data connectivity in the 3.5 GHz and 28 GHz bands.These standardized layers are the basic building blocks of the new 5G air interface.
The non-independent 5G air interface will leverage the existing LTE wireless and evolved packet core networks as the backbone of mobility management and network coverage while adding a new 5G new air interface radio access carrier that will support some 5G use cases by 2019 .
