Synopsis

5G Advanced: The Next Generation Wireless Access Technology, Third Edition follows the authors' highly celebrated books on 3G and 4G by providing a new level of insight into 5G NR. After an initial discussion of the background to 5G, including requirements, spectrum aspects and the standardization timeline, all technology features of the first phase of NR are described in detail. Included is a detailed description of the NR physical-layer structure and higher-layer protocols, RF and spectrum aspects and co-existence and interworking with LTE.

This book provides a good understanding of NR and the different NR technology components, giving insight into why a certain solution was selected.

• Covers the entire Release 17 in detail
• Includes the core elements of Release 18
• Contains three new chapters: NTN - describing NR operation over satellites (non-terrestrial networks) with a discussion on satellite communication, changes introduced in NR to support NTN operation (e.g., timing advance changes, HARQ enhancements); RedCap- describing NR reduced capability for (high-end) IoT applications; Broadcast- describing the NR broadcast operation

From the Back Cover

5G/5G-Advanced: The New Generation Wireless Access Technology follows the authors’ highly celebrated books on 3G, 4G, and earlier books on 5G by providing a new level of insight into 5G and 5G-Advanced. After an initial discussion of the background to 5G, including requirements, spectrum aspects, and the standardization timeline, all key technology features of 5G and the evolution toward 5G-Advanced are described in detail.

Included is a detailed description of the NR physical-layer structure and higher-layer protocols, RF and spectrum aspects, and coexistence and interworking with LTE. The book provides a good understanding of 5G and the evolution toward 5G-Advanced and the different technology components, giving insight into why a certain solution was selected.

Included in this new edition are key release 17 and 18 features:
- Spectrum extension beyond 52.6 GHz
- Network-controlled repeaters and enhancements to IAB
- Reduced capability devices (a.k.a. REDCap)
- Sidelink enhancements
- Positioning enhancements
- MIMO enhancements
- Nonterrestrial Networks (NTNs)
- Support for broadcast/multicast services
- Mobility enhancements
- Power-saving enhancements
- Duplex enhancements
- AI/ML studies in 3GPP

The book also contains an outlook on the evolution of 5G beyond release 18 and future 6G systems.

The authors, Erik Dahlman, Stefan Parkvall, and Johan Sköld, are all working at Ericsson Research, focusing on the 5G evolution and future 6G technologies. They have been deeply involved in 3GPP standardization for more than 20 years.
