1 TOP CONSIDERATIONS for 5G New Radio Device Designers
2 Introduction 5G New Radio (NR) is rapidly approaching. The new physical layer standards define a flexible air interface to support the many use cases expected in 5G, and your designs for devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearables will need to operate in new spectrum and with new technologies. This all means more complexity and greater design challenges. This ebook outlines the challenges you ll face tackling issues such as new frequency spectrum and wider bandwidths, MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) and beam steering, over-the air (OTA) testing, and 5G NR coexistence with other wireless communications systems. You ll want to stay ahead of this rapidly evolving environment so you can accelerate your device designs as 5G standards evolve.

4 CHAPTER 1 Understanding 5G NR Specifications 5G NR specifications enable much greater flexibility in wireless communication systems, but will require you to change the way you design and test 5G devices. UNDERSTANDING 5G NR Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 4
5 CHAPTER 1 Understanding 5G NR Specifications Enhanced Broadband Gigabytes In a Second 3D Video, UHD Screens Smart Home Building Smart City Voice Work and Play in the Cloud Augmented Reality Industry Automation Mission Critical Applications Self Driving Cars Massive Machine Type Communications Figure 1: Source ITU 5G Recommendations 9/2015 Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications The vision for 5G focuses on three primary use cases: enhanced mobile broadband (embb), ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mmtc). These use cases will enable vast improvements in the cellular network to support many new services. Your success depends on designing a quality, cost-effective design in a timely fashion. The initial 5G NR release 15 (December 2017) introduced non-standalone mode (NSA), where the 5G network relies on an existing 4G network for the control plane. In June 2018, support for standalone mode (SA) expanded the standard to allow a 5G base station (or gnb) to act as a master node in the network without relying on an existing 4G network for control. As a 5G designer, you need to ensure that your designs will work with and alongside the 4G network. The 5G NR specifications lay the foundation for the flexible structure needed to support the many different use cases. Your 5G designs will need to support the key features covered in this chapter.

6 Scalable Numerology Scalable Numerology offers flexible allocation of resources to support many different services across diverse frequency bands. Scalable sub-carrier spacing has an inverse relationship with symbol time. This enables variable slot duration to support different applications such as high throughput mmwave operation, high latency IoT services, or low-latency no-fail applications. Time-bound resources can now scale and be assigned using smaller mini-slot units where transmission can start immediately without waiting for slot boundaries, enabling quick delivery of low latency payloads. The Challenge: Scalable numerology makes the air interface more complex, increasing the required test permutations and potential for design flaws. 1ms subframe aligned with LTE CP-OFDM symbol Subframe 15 khz khz 500 µs slot Mini- Slot 60 khz 250 µs slot 120 khz 125 µs slot Figure 2: Subframe, slot, and mini-slot structure as a function of subcarrier spacing UNDERSTANDING 5G NR Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 6
7 Waveforms Waveforms have not changed a great deal from 4G except for in the uplink (UL). CP-OFDM (Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) was used in 4G LTE downlink (DL), but usage has now expanded to support both downlink and uplink. Greater UL modulation density up to 256 QAM versus 64 QAM in LTE-Advanced release 13 means more data can be sent in the waveform. 5G NR adds an optional single carrier modulation technique DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform spread OFDM) in the UL, which offers better power efficiency than CP-OFDM and is especially useful for low-power IoT use cases. The Challenge: Introducing CP-OFDM in the UL and use of higher order modulation in the device means you need to design and test with much higher performance than ever before. Frequency Ranges Maximum Carrier Bandwidth Sub Carrier Spacing Maximum number of Subcarriers Carrier Aggregation Frequency Range (FR) 1: 450 MHz - 6 GHz Frequency Range (FR) 2: GHz FR1: Up to 100 MHz FR2: Up to 400 MHz FR1: 15 khz, 30 khz, 60 khz FR2: 60 khz, 120 khz, 240 khz 3300 (up to 4096 FFTs, Fast Fourier Transform) Up to 16 carriers Modulation CP-OFDM (UL/DL): QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM DFT-s-OFDM (UL): π/2-bpsk, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM MIMO 8x8 MIMO Up to 8 layers in downlink, up to 4 layers in the uplink Figure 3: 5G NR waveforms require new levels of performance in devices UNDERSTANDING 5G NR Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 7
8 Initial Access Procedures Initial Access Procedures have changed due to the use of mmwave beam steering. Beam steering is considered essential for mmwave communications due to the high channel losses that must be overcome. 5G NR identifies new initial access procedures that use beam sweeping from the base station to find the user equipment (UE). UE devices need to monitor and select the strongest beam from the base station and perform handoffs and fall back procedures as the UE travels through the network. The Challenge: As a device designer, you now need to validate that the UE can find the beams from the base station, establish the communication link, and perform data transfers and beam management functions as the device travels through the network. UNDERSTANDING 5G NR Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 8
9 Bandwidth Parts (BWP) Bandwidth Parts (BWP) are new in 5G NR. In LTE, all UEs were required to transmit and receive within the cell s full bandwidth. This is no longer the case in 5G NR. A cell s bandwidth can be sub-divided and spectrum can be allocated for different services in a device. Each bandwidth part (BWP) can have its own numerology, meaning each BWP can be configured differently with its own signal characteristic, enabling more efficient use of the spectrum. This feature is good for integrating signals that may have reduced energy requirements, or different functions or services, or for providing coexistence with other systems. The Challenge: Bandwidth parts enable better use of the spectrum but also introduce more test cases that need to be validated in a device into the full bandwidth.

10 CHAPTER 2 Extending into mmwave Spectrum Spectrum is at the heart of 5G s ultra-fast download rates. For wireless communications, this means extending designs into mmwave frequency bands. MMWAVE SPECTRUM Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 10
11 CHAPTER 2 Extending into mmwave Spectrum 5G NR introduces new ways to use spectrum in sub-6 GHz and mmwave frequencies. Sub-6 GHz will be the primary access channel and focus new capabilities on extended coverage and support for many low data rate IoT applications and low latency applications like autonomous driving automobiles. Specific 5G NR features including flexible numerology and mini slots can provide very fast response times needed for these low latency applications. mmwave frequencies offer wider channel bandwidths to support embb use cases, enabling data hungry applications like streaming of ultra-high definition 4K or 8K movies. 5G NR reallocates some of the existing LTE bands and adds new licensed and unlicensed spectrum in several bands. mmwave spectrum will be needed to meet 5G peak data rate goals of 20 Gbps in downlink (DL) and 10 Gbps in uplink (UL). 0.6 GHz I S M ISM ISM 24 GHz 2.5 GHz GHz GHz 24 GHz 28 GHz 39 GHz 64-71GHz 71-76GHz Frequency Range 1: 400 MHz to 6 GHz Frequency Range 2: to 52.6 GHz Adds 1.5 GHz of new spectrum in frequency bands n77: GHz n78: GHz n79: GHz Adds 8.25 GHz of new spectrum in frequency bands n257: GHz n258: GHz n260: GHz Frequencies up to 90 GHz are currently being investigated for future releases. MMWAVE SPECTRUM Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 11
12 The Challenges One of the most challenging aspects of 5G will be creating designs optimized for mmwave spectrum. Signal impairments such as IQ impairments, phase noise, linear/non-linear compression, and frequency error increase with higher frequency and bandwidth. These impairments can distort the modulated signal, making it difficult for the receiver to accurately demodulate the signal. Another challenge is the usage of higher order modulations in 5G waveforms. To sustain performance, devices must meet tighter error vector magnitude (EVM) specifications specified by the 5G standard, as shown in the table below. Modulation scheme for PDSCH Required EVM Tips for overcoming mmwave wideband signal quality issues: Evaluate signal modulation properties by viewing the IQ constellation to identify potential waveform distortion errors. Identify signal performance issues by measuring overall EVM, EVM per symbol, and EVM per subcarrier. Verify wideband spectrum performance with transmitted power, occupied bandwidth (OBW), adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), spectrum emissions masks (SEM), and spurious emissions measurements. Ensure test solutions have better performance than the device being measured and use system level calibration with measurement plane at the device under test (DUT).

Key performance indicators such as EVM for 256QAM are much more difficult to achieve, and your test solutions must have higher levels of fidelity to measure, validate, and troubleshoot device performance at mmwave frequencies.

13 CHAPTER 3 MIMO and Beam Steering MIMO and beam steering are key enabling technologies for 5G operation at sub-6 GHz and into mmwave frequency bands. MIMO & BEAM STEERING Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 13
14 CHAPTER 3 MIMO and Beam Steering MIMO and beam steering techniques will enable more capacity on the network and higher data throughput, and will help overcome signal propagation issues that increase with frequency. Beam steering and beamforming utilize multiple antenna elements to create directional high-gain beams, which are used to overcome the additional path loss that is especially prevalent at mmwave frequencies. Beam steering is like pointing a small beam at a specific user verses blanketing the area with a flood light. Both the base station and the mobile device will need positional awareness and will need to direct beams towards each other to maintain a highquality link. gnb Synchronization and broadcast signals (beam sweeping) Figure 6: Beam sweeping is the technique used to broadcast signals from the base station so UEs can find the strongest beam and establish a communication link gnb Beam acquisition for UE UE Downlink Beam Uplink Beam MIMO & BEAM STEERING Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 14
15 The Challenges To achieve desired performance levels, device manufactures will need to implement and test multi-element antenna technologies in multiple frequency bands from sub-6 GHz to mmwave frequencies. It is crucial to characterize device antenna patterns to ensure proper antenna gain, side lobes and null depth to maximize the radiated efficiency of the signal. The method for acquiring a signal has changed significantly in 5G, since neither the device nor the base station knows the direction of the other end of the link. 5G NR defines new initial access and attach procedures to establish a link. Beam management tests are a significant new area of test that must be addressed during device design, adding more complexity to your 5G device test plan. Tips for overcoming MIMO and beam steering challenges: Verify an antenna s 3D beam performance early in the development cycle with system level simulation before moving to hardware. Once your design is in hardware, verify a beam s performance and RF characteristics with EVM and ACPR measurements over the antenna scan to determine how much the beam characteristics changes with movement. This should be done using a calibrated OTA test method with 5G NR compliant waveform generation and 3D analysis tools. Use a network emulator to test the protocol early in the development cycle to ensure the device s ability to connect to the network and perform initial access and beam management tasks like handovers and 4G fallback procedures. Add a channel emulator to evaluate end-to-end performance with real-world impairments like excessive path loss or multi-path fading.

16 CHAPTER 4 mmwave Over-the-Air (OTA) Tests As mmwave adoption increases, new test techniques are required. Antenna arrays are increasingly being integrated into RFICs, making it difficult, if not impossible, to test with a cabled connection. MMWAVE OTA Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 16
17 CHAPTER 4 mmwave Over-the-Air (OTA) Tests Beam Antenna Beam Current sub-6 GHz RF performance tests are mostly done using cabled connections. mmwave requires more over the air (OTA) testing for several reasons. 5G smartphones will have GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and multiple antennas to support cellular, and co-existence becomes exponentially more difficult with multiple antennas in close proximity. Designs with antennas bonded onto the RFICs will be common in 5G UE devices, but difficult to probe. Cabled tests are also insufficient for testing parameters such as 3D radiated beam size and direction. As a result, OTA tests are needed to characterize and validate radiated beam performance from your device.

18 The Challenges OTA testing is typically performed in the near-field or far-field region from the device. Shown in the table, as the frequency goes higher, the far-field distance and path loss increase as well. A device with a 15-cm radiating diameter, operating at 28 GHz, results in a far-field distance of 4.2 meters and a path loss of 73 db. Due to the higher operating frequency, a traditional far-field test method would result in an excessively large far-field test chamber with path loss that is too great to make accurate and repeatable OTA measurements. Direct far-field, indirect far-field, and near-field scanning test methods are being studied by test vendors and 3GPP to specify suitable OTA test methods. You can leverage Keysight s early involvement in these studies to reduce the time and rework as you scope out your first 5G OTA testbeds. Size D (cm) GHz Distance (m) Path Loss (db) 0.13 m 21 db 0.30m 28 db 0.53 m 33 db 28 GHz Distance (m) Path Loss (db) 1.87 m 66 db 4.2 m 73 db 7.4 m 78 db 43 GHz Distance (m) Path Loss (db) 2.87 m 74 db 6.4 m 81 db 11.4 m 86 db Figure 8: Far-field test distance and resulting path loss for making OTA measurements Tips for overcoming OTA testing challenges: At higher mmwave frequencies, consider an indirect far-field (IFF) test method based on a compact antenna test range (CATR) that is now permitted for RF performance tests by 3GPP. This OTA test method can perform measurements such as transmitted power, transmit signal quality, and spurious emissions for a radiated transmitter with much less path loss than a traditional far-field test chamber. Include a network emulator combined with a channel emulator to characterize the end-to-end full stack data throughput with real-world channel conditions. Partner with Keysight to gain insights into the progress of the specifications and test methods being recommended and approved by 3GPP.

COEXISTENCE Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 21
22 Two Key Coexistence Scenarios: 1) 5G coexistence with 4G and unlicensed spectrum Relatively new to 4G are LTE Unlicensed (LTE-U), licensed-assisted access (LAA), and MulteFire, all of which allow LTE operation in unlicensed spectrum. LAA uses the 4G network as an anchor and implements listen-before-talk to ensure no other operation is taking place in the unlicensed spectrum. LAA requires careful coexistence design and test with many different permutations due to the many different protocols being used in the same frequency bands. In addition to existing 4G operating bands, new 5G mid-band frequencies ( GHz, GHz, GHz) need to operate without causing interference with adjacent IEEE ac and ax Wi-Fi networks at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Without proper filtering for each band, emissions from intermodulation can cause spurs that interfere with these and other adjacent bands: Frequency Band MHz MHz MHz , MHz GHz United States Spectrum Sharing Advanced Wireless Services 3 (AWS- 3) uses spectrum sharing amongst commercial networks and select government systems. Advanced Wireless Services 4 (AWS- 4) includes previous mobile satellite services. CBRS, or citizens broadband radio service, is a small-cell band with spectrum sharing and unlicensed use. 2) 5G coexistence with satellite and radar systems 5G not only needs to coexist with the existing commercial wireless infrastructure, but also with non-military radar and satellite signals, and with military usage in agencies such as the US Department of Defense. There is a proposal to use the unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands as a secondary channel, which creates shared spectrum scenarios that need to be tested. New 5G mmwave operating bands in frequency range 2 (FR2) also overlap with Fixed- Satellite Services (FSS) earth station uplinks at GHz and FSS downlinks at GHz. The Challenges The performance of a device transmitter at the edge of the band, and outside the band, can cause interference with other wireless communications. Emissions from harmonics, inter-modulation spurs, and spectral regrowth need to be evaluated so you can understand how the 5G NR signal will interact with other radio signals in the device or in other frequency bands. When it comes to shared spectrum, your device design needs to be able to sense its environment and modify behavior based on policy for the given location. While policy is still being defined, the most likely scenario is for commercial operators to only use the band when it is not in use by incumbents. This introduces the need for complex algorithms that can monitor and detect coexistence traffic and allocate or reallocate spectrum dynamically according to rules and policy without impacting QoS. This will require special tests not previously done on cellular devices. COEXISTENCE Top Considerations for 5G New Radio Device Designers 22
23 Tips for Overcoming Coexistence Challenges: View the constellation diagram and EVM of the demodulated signal as an indicator of good or poor coexistence. EVM per subcarrier can show effects of interference. Make wideband spectrum measurements such as Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) and Spectrum Emissions Mask (SEM) to gain insight into the signal s interference possibilities. Integrate real-world behavior with a network emulator to validate spectrum sharing scenarios and identify excessive time allocating and reallocating spectrum.

24 5G New Radio is Coming Faster Than You May Think New spectrum and technologies introduced with 5G NR will require you to think differently about how you design and test devices. These new technologies bring new test challenges in processing and validating wider bandwidths, testing and validating MIMO and beam steering performance, over-the air (OTA) testing methodologies, and 5G NR coexistence with other wireless communications systems. Keysight s portfolio of 5G NR solutions offer the tools to address these challenges with solutions to emulate, measure, and validate 5G RF and protocol signals so you develop more efficiently and accelerate your 5G NR device designs.
