A guide to the 3GPP-specified 5G physical layer with a focus on the new beam-based dimension in the radio system.

5G New Radio: A Beam-based Air Interface is an authoritative guide to the newly 3GPP-specified 5G physical layer. The contributors—noted experts on the topic and creators of the actual standard—focus on the beam-based operation which is a new dimension in the radio system due to the millimeter wave deployments of 5G. The book contains information that complements the 3GPP specification and helps to connect the dots regarding key features.

5G New Radio is perhaps the most awaited technology of 2020 promising not only to improve the mobile broadband transmission speed and capacity but also to revolutionize our lives and important industries, allowing for more reliable and fast communications, and for massive machine-type communications. One new development of this technology is the operation in millimeter wave, in carrier frequencies above 3.5 GHz, while the backbone of the design relies on multiple antenna transmission and reception. Indeed, multiantenna transmission is not a development area anymore but becomes a central part of the system design, and this was one of the main motivations for the introduction of this book. The complexity of the 5G specification is higher compared to legacy wireless technologies such as LTE. Understanding the design and functionality of 5G is way harder by reading solely the specification text; hence, the motivation to connect the dots of the existing specifications and explaining in a more formal way how the system works and how the specified technologies are functioning.

The book assumes a basic knowledge of multi-antenna technologies and covers the physical layer aspects related to beam operation, such as initial access, details of reference signal design, beam management, and DL and UL data channel transmission. The contributors also provide a brief overview of standardization efforts, IMT-2020 submission, 5G spectrum, and performance analysis of 5G components. This important text:
