Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) is an innovative new technology that enables the parallel use of LTE and 5G in the same frequency band. For many carriers that do not own 5G frequency bands, dynamic spectrum sharing allows them the ability to immediately capitalize on...

Capgemini Engineering along with it’s 5G partner ecosystem, has developed a cognitive 5G Medium Access Controller (MAC), which is first in series of activities planned as part of Capgemini’s Project Marconi. Project Marconi includes a series of innovations targeted towards realizing cognitive capabilities as...

Most mobile traffic is generated in buildings and the reflective windows in these modern buildings cause radio waves to attenuate, causing degradation of cell phone reception. Hence, correct deployment and testing is important. This white paper examines different network architectures such as active DAS and...

The end goal for 5G is a cloud-native, service-based, fully standalone (SA) network. That’s a major undertaking, which means most operators will spend several years with a mix of 4G, 5G non-standalone (NSA) and 5G SA infrastructure. This highly diverse environment makes it challenging...

Many CSPs are deploying 5G NSA with the aim of evolving to 5G SA as the technology matures. This calls for the transition from 5G NSA to 5G SA to be straightforward for the CSP and transparent to the end user. This paper describes ways...
