Nokia Networks explores potential of 5G below 6 GHz frequencies with NTT DOCOMO
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Joint research project evaluating 5G radio technology at lower frequencies
* Trials to demonstrate 10 Gbps throughput with low latency
* Trials with technologies such as Dual Connectivity between LTE and 5G, and
Licensed Assisted Access
Tokyo, Japan - 22 July 2015
To help drive future standardization of 5G* technology, Nokia Networks has
partnered with NTT DOCOMO, INC. (DOCOMO) to explore and harness the potential of
Nokia Networks' 5G radio technology in the 4.4-4.9 GHz band. In the joint
research project, both companies are working towards achieving throughput speeds
of 10 Gbps and optimized latency using frequencies below 6 GHz. The trials will
also demonstrate Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) with 5G to utilize unlicensed
spectrum as well as interworking with LTE through Dual Connectivity (DC). This
will help DOCOMO take a major step towards its vision of having a commercial 5G
network in 2020.

Key focus areas of the R&D collaboration:
* Deployment of 5G baseband to achieve 10 Gbps
* Demonstration of LAA (5.47-5.725 GHz)
* Demonstration of LTE interworking between below 6 GHz, cmWave and mmWave
technologies using Nokia Networks' commercial Single RAN Advanced hardware
Takehiro Nakamura, Vice President and Managing Director of 5G laboratory, NTT
DOCOMO, INC., said:"We have been investigating a broad range of potential 5G
technologies to be deployed in the 2020s. Meanwhile, we are also focused on
laying a solid foundation for the targeted launch of our 5G network in 2020. In
line with this vision, we take a further step by collaborating with Nokia
Networks to explore the possibilities of 5G at below 6 GHz frequencies to
deliver high performance, a solid coverage area and a truly unique service
experience via our 5G network."
Niko Lalu, Vice President for HetRAN at Nokia Networks, said: "After showcasing
high-speed data transmission in 5G, Nokia Networks and DOCOMO have now moved to
the next level of strategic engagement with this agreement. The initiative
underlines our commitment to support the operator in its endeavor to deliver an
unparalleled experience to customers in Japan."
