EMITE Press Release (2018)

 

使用EMITE 5G OTA測試系統和Ericsson 5G SA mMIMO原型基站，在德國杜塞爾多夫的Vodafone 5G實驗室獲得創紀錄的小於3.5ms E2E的低延遲。 其結果與其他5G研究有互相關連性。 所獲得的低延遲為5G應用提供了支持證據，包括超高速實時遊戲，存取雲數據，機器人，醫院和虛擬體驗等。

•  這個demo在Vodafone 5G實驗室中使用EMITE OTA混合AC / RC測試系統和Ericsson 5G SA原型基站

•  在室外到室內真實衰減(fading)下，獲得了低於3.5ms的端到端延遲和用戶DL TCP 性能約400Mbps

•  在Vodafone 5G實驗室的快速，有效和逼真的5G OTA實驗測試帶來的好處，可滿足網路中即將推出的5G應用的各種要求

 

Record‐setting below 3.5ms E2E latencies were obtained at Vodafone 5G Lab in Düsseldorf, Germany, using EMITE 5G OTA test systems and Ericsson 5G SA mMIMO prototype base station. Results were correlated to other 5G studies. The obtained low latencies provide support evidence for superfast real‐time gaming, accessing cloud data, robotics, hospital and virtual experience through 5G applications.

 

Highlights:

•  Benefits from fast, effective and realistic 5G OTA laboratory tests at Vodafone 5G Lab for meeting most diverse requirements of the upcoming 5G applications in a network

•   Below 3.5ms End‐to‐End latencies and User DL TCP TPUT of ~400 Mbps were obtained under Outdoor‐to‐indoor realistic fading

•  The demonstration made use of EMITE OTA hybrid AC/RC test systems and Ericsson 5G SA prototype base station at Vodafone 5G Lab.

 

Vodafone, EMITE and Ericsson today announce the first massive MIMO OTA realistic laboratory test for 5G SA at the n78 band. The achievement is an important milestone for meeting most diverse requirements of future applications in 5G on a network.

The demonstration included a Base Station prototype by Ericsson, a real 5G SA UE prototype and the EMITE F200 hybrid anechoic‐reverberation chamber, achieving a single‐user data rate of ~400 Mbps under outdoor‐to‐indoor OTA realistic fading. The tests also produced RF latencies below 0.15 ms and End‐to‐End latencies below 3.5ms under realistic fading. The results did not require calibration on the phased‐array, thereby greatly reducing testing costs.

 

Andreas Dorstel, Head of Vodafone Innovation Park Labs, “We can now test everything under real live conditions before rolling out in life networks”. “The results highlight the importance of accurate and realistic 5G OTA testing and reinforce the potential of 5G networks to deliver what is eagerly expected, taking a step further into a real deployment in the near future”, said Prof. David A. Sanchez‐Hernandez, CEO of EMITE.

Dr. Eric Kuisch, CTO Vodafone Germany, “With our radio chamber we can now ambitiously test the equipment and system technology that our manufacturers have delivered". Stefan Koetz, chairman of Ericsson GmbH in Germany, “Since 5G will be an important technology in the context of mobility and industry 4.0 in addition to the enhanced mobile broadband experience, it is important for us as a network supplier with high safety and quality standards to test the use of technology  ‐  in this context we are pleased to equip the testing chamber with our latest technology”.
