Nokia and MediaTek achieve 3.2 Gbps with FDD/TDD aggregation

摘要

Nokia and MediaTek achieved 3.2Gbps peak downlink throughput by aggregating 5G Standalone (5G SA) spectrum using 3 Components Carrier (3CC) aggregation, effectively combining 210MHz of FDD and TDD spectrum. Nokia supplied its latest AirScale equipment including its AirScale 5G SA architecture powered by its ReefShark System-on-Chip (SoC) technology as well as its cloud-native 5G core. MediaTek provided its new M80 5G modem which combines mmWave and sub-6 GHz capabilities onto a single chip as well as the user equipment testing platform. Frequency division duplex (FDD) in 600MHz (n71) is a lower frequency band that provides a wide coverage area, improving cell edge performance. Time-division duplex (TDD) in 2600MHz (n41) has higher bandwidth and capacity. The combination of these spectrum bands supports a range of 5G deployment scenarios including indoor as well enhanced outdoor coverage. The high-band sub-6Ghz spectrum bands support high-capacity and extreme mobile broadband capabilities.
