5G Numerology and Frame Structure

This course covers the intricate details of 5G numerology and frame structure. It begins with an in-depth explanation of OFDM numerology, the frame structure, and the frame format present in 5G. For instance, learners will understand how sub-carrier spacing and time are crucial factors in OFDM symbol generation. The course then delves into the concept of mixed numerology and adaptive subcarrier bandwidth, explaining how the flexibility of the OFDM symbol allows for different amounts of resources to be available for various services. It also discusses the impact of phase noise and Doppler conditions on inter carrier interference. The course concludes with a comprehensive understanding of how different combinations of schemes can be used to maximize spectral efficiency in 5G communication systems.
