SRS-Based Beamforming in 5G | PDSCH & PDCCH, Antenna Switching, SRS Gain Explained (Article)

Introduction SRS-based beamforming is one of the most important topics to understand after learning the basics of 5G beamforming, SSB, CSI-RS, and codebook-based operation. In practical terms, this topic explains how the gNB can use uplink SRS sounding to estimate the downlink propagation channel and then generate better PDSCH beams.

LTE RRC States Explained | ECM, EMM & 4G to 5G Transitions | 4G E2E Signaling Session 4 (Video)

In this Session 4 of the 4G End-to-End Signaling Course, we break down LTE RRC states, RRC Idle vs RRC Connected, LTE to 5G state transitions, and the role of ECM and EMM states in the EPC/core network. You will learn how the UE is viewed from both the

LTE Network Architecture Deep Dive | RAN, EPC, Interfaces & Cloud EPC | 4G E2E Signaling Session 3 (Video)

Welcome back to the 4G End-to-End Signaling Free Course – Session 3. In this session, we build the foundation for understanding LTE signaling by explaining the 4G LTE architecture, the role of each major EPC node, and how different network elements communicate with each other. You will learn the function of

5G Beam Management Explained | DL Beamforming, SSB, CSI-RS, Codebook Types (Article)

Introduction Downlink beam management is one of the most important parts of 5G Massive MIMO. It is the process used by the network to identify, refine, and maintain the best beam direction for each UE, starting from initial access and continuing during connected mode. Unlike 4G, where beamforming was mainly
