(Telecompaper) South Korean mobile operator SK Telecom, in partnership with Ericsson, has demonstrated a 5G small cell system that offers higher data rates than LTE by suppressing inter-cell interference based on a new 5G radio frame architecture. The demo was carried out in an area heavily affected by inter-cell interference from multiple neighboring small cells. The demo showed that the 5G small cell system more than doubled the cell-edge user performance compared to LTE, SK said.
