Ericsson accelerates 5G with Massive MIMO single user uplink data rate record
This is notable because uplink has always been the bottleneck in mobile communication.
Ericsson reached near theoretical peak uplink single user throughput leveraging the SU-MIMO technology and uplink (UL) 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) in New Radio (NR) Standalone (SA) mode.
Ericsson has achieved yet another 5G technical milestone, further accelerating 5G with single user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO) by delivering a single user uplink data rate of 315 megabits per second (Mbps), 15-20 times faster than today’s typical uplink speed. With uplink data rates at that speed, consumers will be able to more quickly share 4k/8k video content captured by 5G mobile devices, thereby helping deliver on the promise of 5G to enable movie-quality video directly from users and further democratizing content creation.
