Our Software-defined Radios for 5G Networks |
|
|
|
The world is preparing to shift to 5G technology from the existing 4G networks to fulfil the growing demands of communications. These demands arise not just from regular data traffic, but an array of applications from different modes of service and traffic which did not exist earlier, e.g. Internet of Things, advanced gaming and virtual reality, telemedicine etc.
With the global rollout of 5G services being aimed for 2020, this project’s purpose is to be at the forefront of developing technologies for 5G on the international level. These technologies will have applications for commercial use as well as developing tailor-made tactile technologies for our defense forces.
Particularly, this project aims to develop next-generation tactical communications, i.e. software-defined radio (SDR) waveforms based on 5G technology. Through SDR, various modes of communication that operate independently can be brought to a single platform in 5G. For example, presently, various entities such as defense forces, law enforcement agencies, rescue services etc. have their own devices and platforms for communicating and their signals do not mix or communicate with each other. With 5G SDR, this will become possible and will thus have a far-reaching impact for all entities involved, with many applications.
This project will also serve the needs of global customers by licensing developed modules including transceiver algorithms and hardware configurations for commercial use. The showcase demo of 5G air-interface will also make PTA a beneficiary as this demo can be used by PTA to attract telecom operators to 5G, making them understand how it works and what all it can do. With 5G on its way, a whole new world of exciting possibilities awaits.
