Fundamentals of 5G: Emphasis on fronthaul and TSN protocols

Description

This book provides details about evolution in radio networks, use-cases, and economic value. It covers fundamentals of wireless communication like modulation, frequency band, beamforming, virtualization, etc. It also covers different radio network evolution from centralized RAN to Open RAN. This book covers how data communication over fronthaul and backhaul network interface to provide better flexibility and bandwidth. It gives a comprehensive overview of interface protocols like CPRI, eCPRI, and JESD204. Time Sensitive Networking for fronthaul is used in critical services with low latency requirements, so details of protocol Precision time Protocol (PTP) and Frame Preemption is covered in the details.

"Beautifully captured all the details of 5G (network architecture, CPRI, eCPRI, TSN, JESD) in a very concise manner. The content of the book is so well written in an ordered manner which helps in getting a complete aerial view of 5G which otherwise would have been very difficult for anyone especially to those who are ramping up on 5G. As a Manager, I found it very insightful to get updated about the latest 5G trends along with a complete overview of the 5G network. I wish the authors great success for this effort." Rajesh Chopra., Intel Corporation, Bangalore, India. "5G is undoubtedly a technological breakthrough, creating immense new use-cases and opportunities. I feel really intrigued reading this book, capturing all the relevant information in a concise and easy-to-understand way. Such books are rare to find, and hence I strongly recommend reading this book." Jasvir Singh, Qualcomm, Noida, India.
