Investigation on 5G Techniques for a College Scenario

Abstract: With the development of telecommunication technology, the mobile networks are being updated. 5G is the fifth generation mobile communication, which can provide a higher data rate, lower latency, more connections, higher security insurance, and more flexible business deployment capabilities than 4G. The purpose of this master's thesis is to study the advantages of using 5G networks under different obstacles in a university scenario environment. In the thesis, we target the university office scene, including two different settings, indoor and outdoor. We used real-world measurements to obtain relevant parameters and data, established a remote base station with the company's help, and then went to different locations in different environments selected by the university after we made the preset points. With the use of tools such as Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), we measured the received signal strength, and then compared and analyzed the performance of the 5G network with a 4G network. Also, we compare our measurement results with theoretical results under the same conditions.
