Research on Application Requirements,Technical Requirements and Standards of Simplified 5G Chip
The 3GPP R17 RedCap standard has been frozen in June 2022.RedCap aims to reduce the complexity and cost of 5G devices by reducing bandwidth,reducing the number of MIMO layers,and relaxing the modulation order of downlink,so that 5G technology can be more widely used in vertical industries.By 2025,cities above the county level in China will achieve 5G RedCap coverage,and the number of 5G RedCap connections will grow by tens of millions.5G applications for power industry and other industries have the characteristics of small size and fragmentation in a single scene.This paper starts from the perspective of using 5G terminal chips in the business refines and simplifies the general technical requirements of 5G chip platform to develop standards,guides the research and development of refined 5G terminal chips,and promotes the large-scale development of 5G industry applications.
