Here’s why.
In 4G, reference symbols scatter across the slot.
UEs wait for the full slot to decode.
Control signals take up carrier bandwidth.
5G fixes this.
It places reference symbols early.
Devices decode instantly, no waiting.
4G’s structure isn’t just old.
It’s inefficient for 5G.
4G spreads reference symbols across the slot.
This slows processing.
5G moves them early.
That’s why decoding starts instantly.
In 4G, UEs wait for the full slot.
5G skips the wait.
Here are some more benefits:
- Faster data extraction
- Less control signal overhead
- More efficient spectrum use
- Lower latency for real-time applications
- Better performance for next-gen tech
It’s a fundamental change in how networks process data.
