Abstract:
Implementation constraints coming from RFIC technologies and other RF components set boundary conditions for new radio systems that try to stretch data rates, power consumption, cost and range to new extremes. Some of these techniques may be absolutely needed for optimal solutions but in many cases achieving sufficient performance in the extreme conditions may challenge research community for a long time. Requirements against RFIC solutions are evaluated using selected examples of existing wireless systems as well as looking forward to some of the key design aspects towards 5G.
