ABSTRACT
The cellular industry will see a drastic growth in the wireless data traffic and emergence of new services in the next few years, where the amount of data handled by wireless networks is expected to exceed 500 exabytes by 2020. The 5G cellular system is expected to meet this demand by significantly improving certain key performance indicators, including spectral efficiency, user experienced data rate, peak data rate, areal traffic capacity, network energy efficiency, connection density, latency, and mobility. To bring 5G visions to commercialization, New Radio (NR) standardization effort is well underway in the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), where cellular technologies for millimeter wave bands will be introduced, and the fundamental aspects of cellular systems are being redesigned, including numerologies, channel coding, and MIMO schemes. In this talk, the recent development on the physical layer of the 3GPP NR mmWave standards, including the principles of the design decisions, will be presented.
