The Death of 5G?

May 6, 2015
Prof. Jeff Andrews of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin wrote a piece for the IEEE Communications Society on whether or not densification will be the death of 5G. Prof. Andrews is the The Cullen Trust for Higher Education Endowed Professor in Engineering and a member of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG). Over the last decade he has been one of the leaders in the effort to apply statistical theory to network capacity calculation.

WNCG Alum Karl Nieman and NI Create First 100-Antenna Massive MIMO Base Station Model

Feb. 2, 2015
Modern communication systems rely on multiple antennas that enhance the performance of network links using a series of techniques known as Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). However, new technology is needed to meet the demands of a rapidly increasing number of wireless devices and enable the next generation of cellular systems. Known as Massive MIMO, this adaptation of traditional MIMO techniques presents challenges to research and development teams worldwide.
