5G Explained
The video series explains key concepts behind the 5G New Radio (NR) physical layer standard. You will learn about the requirements and use cases of 5G and the resulting differences between the 5G and LTE standards. Each video offers a deep dive into the technologies and concepts behind 5G NR, including 5G waveforms, frame structure and numerology, downlink and uplink data, Control Resource Sets (CORESETs), demodulation reference symbols (DMRS), synchronization signal blocks (SSB), Cell Search and RACH procedures, and channel estimation.
