Sidelink is a 3GPP-standardized technology that enables direct UE-to-UE communication.
Initially designed for licensed 4G spectrum (Release 15), it expanded to 5G NR (Release 16 …

Wireless networks operating in unlicensed bands generally use one of two channel access
paradigms: random access (eg, Wi-Fi) or scheduled access (eg, LTE License Assisted …

Telecom operators are under pressure to provide more spectrum resources to meet the
increasing demand for high-throughput mobile communications. To achieve this, they have …

Abstract The New Radio Unlicensed (NR-U) technology opens the unlicensed spectrum for
5G cellular systems and employs multichannel operation to use the full potential of …

Spectrum coexistence between 5G and Wi-Fi in the coveted 5GHz spectrum band
unleashes new possibilities for more effective spectrum utilization. While the Listen-Before …

Coexistence of 5G new radio unlicensed (NR-U) and Wi-Fi is highly prone to the collisions
among NR-U gNBs (5G base stations) and Wi-Fi APs (access points). To improve …

New Radio Unlicensed (NR-U) is the key representative access technology beyond 5G
implementation to alleviate the spectrum crunch. NR-U shares a 5 GHz unlicensed band …

NR-U enables 5G to access the unlicensed bands. However, a 5G NR-U transmitter has to
follow the Listen Before Talk (LBT) procedure, where the transmitter has to sense the …

Sidelink is a 3GPP-standardized technology that provides direct UE-to-UE communication
links, originally intended to operate in licensed 5G spectrum. However, due to the recent …

Smart grid operators seeking to extend their wireless network capacity can use unlicensed
bands. However, devices in these shared bands must follow rules such as Listen Before …
