5G NR LMLC Technology for Rural Mobile Broadband Access

Unlike its predecessor technologies, 5G wireless systems are heterogeneous network to support three major generic services, classified as eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband) supports stable connections with very high peak data rates, as well as moderate rates for cell-edge users.

mMTC (massive machine-type communications) supports a massive number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which are only sporadically active and send small data payloads; URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications) supports low-latency transmissions of small payloads with very high reliability from a limited set of terminals part of vehicular infrastructure.

Considering the importance of rural broadband and also in order to make 5G affordable to rural masses there is a 4th use case included called Low Mobility Large Cell (LMLC) is included as part of the 5G standard. The standardization of the use case is spearheaded by TSDSI where Lekha Wireless is an active member. Lekha’s 5G NR based gNodeB is evolving along with the 5G standardization to implement LMLC configuration and committed to deliver 5G RAN infrastructure.
