ZTE is the first to complete the technical verification of 5G millimeter wave independent networking with third-party terminals.

CTOnews.com, October 2, according to the release of the 5G Promotion Group, recently, under the guidance of the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group of the China Institute of Information and Communications, ZTE completed the technical verification of all functional projects of 5G millimeter wave independent networking, and was the first to successfully complete the end-to-end test of 5G millimeter wave independent networking with third-party terminals.

In this test, ZTE's high-performance and low-power millimeter wave NR base station and CPE test terminal equipped with Snapdragon X655G modem are connected by FR2 only mode in millimeter wave independent networking (SA) mode. Under the configuration of 200MHz single-carrier bandwidth, downlink 4-carrier aggregation and uplink 2-carrier aggregation, the basic function and performance verification of DDDSU and DSUUU frame structure are completed respectively. CTOnews.com learned that in this verification, the downlink peak speed is close to 7Gbps when using DDDSU frame structure, and the uplink peak speed is higher than 2.1Gbps when using DSUUU frame structure.

The FR2 only mode of millimeter wave independent networking mode refers to the deployment of 5G millimeter wave network without using LTE or Sub-6GHz anchors, and the completion of terminal access and business processes. In this mode, operators can provide thousands of megabit rate and ultra-low delay wireless broadband access services for personal and business users more flexibly, and realize the deployment of green fixed wireless access networks in all applicable scenarios.
