NTT DOCOMO Gains a Go-to- Market Advantage in 5G with Flexible Channel Sounding
Characterizing 5G radio channels—especially when utilizing millimeter-wave frequencies and massive MIMO—presents formidable design challenges due to unpredictable over-the-air performance. To overcome these unknowns, NTT DOCOMO leveraged advanced channel sounding techniques to develop precise mathematical models, which are essential for defining new air interface standards. Keysight’s software proved instrumental in this process, providing the sophisticated simulation and analysis tools required to accurately characterize channel behavior and performance. By leveraging Keysight’s software, the team achieved a significant go-to-market advantage, ensuring their 5G deployments could reliably support extreme data rates and spectral efficiency. This software-driven validation was critical in tr
