D3.11 v1.0 5G Access Components and User Equipment (Release A)

This document is a midterm report on the 5G access components and user equipment that are being developed and deployed in the different 5GENESIS Platforms. The document emphasizes on the New Radio (NR) and the wireless access links of the facility. It includes also the 5G end devices, and the non-3GPP access technologies integrated in the 5GENESIS facility. Moreover, it provides an insight on the solution and components part of terrestrial backhaul system to be deployed in the Berlin Platform. This document describes the midterm work performed by 5GENESIS members on the design and development of the 5G gNB (5G Base Stations) for the needs of 5GENESIS platforms, including the Physical and MAC (Layer-1 and Layer 2) layers, as well as its interfaces, structure and processing. The purpose of the gNB is to enable the wireless communication with 5G UEs in different demonstration scenarios. The gNB will be connected northbound to EPC and/or NgCore Networks, operating at 3.5 GHz, and will be able to support different scenarios in URLLC, eMBB and mMTC applications. The implemented 5G air interface is presented, including its compliance to the applicable standards
