While most members of the general public probably do not take much notice of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its rulings, the organization has a profound effect on how all of us interact with our radios, televisions, satellite and cable systems, and wireless devices. On July 14 the FCC voted affirmatively on a historic …
In one fell swoop, the FCC today put the U.S. in a 5G leadership position, voting 5-0 to approve its Spectrum Frontiers proceeding and make spectrum bands above 24 GHz available for 5G. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, noting his previous remarks on the proceeding, kept his remarks brief to avoid repeating himself. But he summed …

On July 14, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unanimously passed a proposal to free up vast amounts of new bandwidth in the underutilized high-band spectrum for the next generation of wireless communications (5G). The Spectrum Frontiers Proposal (SFP) will double the amount of millimeter-wave (mmWave) unlicensed spectrum to 14 GHz and create four times …
In a unanimous decision, the FCC has just passed the Spectrum Frontiers proposal, opening up vast millimeter wave spectrum for 5G. “Carriers and entrepreneurs alike now have a true wireless fiber opportunity for fixed and mobile,” said Ted Rappaport, Founding Director of NYU WIRELESS. “Our work at NYU WIRELESS has proven both the physics and the …

NYU WIRELESS just released a ground-breaking new NYUSIM Channel Simulator. The NYUSIM Channel Simulator provides a complete statistical channel model and simulation code with an easy-to-use interface for generating realistic spatial and temporal wideband channel impulse responses. The simulator is based on the following papers: “3-D Millimeter-Wave Statistical Channel Model for 5G Wireless System Design,” …

As the 5G standardization process gathers momentum, it is increasingly clear that millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies of above 30GHz will play a critical role in overcoming the spectrum crunch in the traditional 4G bands. In addition to the enormous amounts of spectrum available in these bands, the small wavelengths in mmWave signals enable both the …

If the FCC votes to adopt the proposed Spectrum Frontiers rulemaking on July 14, it will be making available more spectrum for flexible use wireless broadband than ever before: A total of 10.85 GHz, giving wireless operators and others a whole lot more spectrum to play with. The FCC released a fact sheet on Thursday …
One of the biggest proponents for unleashing millimeter wave spectrum in the U.S. said this week that he’s encouraged by what the FCC is doing – in fact, it’s exceeding even his expectations. Ted Rappaport, IEEE fellow and founding director of NYU Wireless, along with a group of NYU Wireless students, authored the paper “Millimeter …
