Mobile Telecommunications Networks Questions
Which of the following is a key technology for increasing the capacity of 5G networks in dense urban areas?
-
Massive MIMO
-
Beamforming
-
Carrier aggregation
-
Small cells
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Small cells are a key technology for increasing the capacity of 5G networks in dense urban areas. Small cells are low-power, low-range base stations that can be deployed in a variety of locations, such as on streetlights, buildings, and utility poles. They provide additional coverage and capacity in areas with high traffic demand, and they can also help to reduce interference.
What is the role of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum in 5G networks?
-
It provides very high speeds and low latency.
-
It is used for long-range communication.
-
It is less susceptible to interference than other spectrum bands.
-
None of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is used in 5G networks to provide very high speeds and low latency. It is a high-frequency band that is less susceptible to interference than other spectrum bands, but it has a shorter range and is more easily blocked by obstacles.
