5G
Ensuring the promises of reliable and efficient communications brings new challenges to the design of 5G products. 5G connectivity requires high throughput, low latency, and exceptional coverage at a reasonable cost, all while reducing energy consumption. As networks and applications grow, the precise simulation of antennas in their environment is the key to developing the next generation of broadband products. Altair 5G simulation solutions support and enable the innovation and deployment of wireless connectivity technology improving communication, assuring compatibility, and reducing energy consumption and emission.
Turning 5G Problems into 5G Solutions
Creating a dedicated campus network with unified connectivity, optimized services, and secure communication within a specific area is a challenge for private network operators. To deliver the increased speed, low latency, and other benefits promised by 5G, telecom system integrators, engineers, and consulting companies must have efficient 5G development tools.
Altair provides integrated simulation of 5G antennas and 5G networks, that help to understand the use case, define the requirements for the 5G infrastructure, and create a usage plan to apply for the frequency spectrum. Taking a holistic simulation approach, campus network planners avoid interferences upfront and prevent radio wave leakage in surrounding areas.

Industrial IoT (IIoT) Networks Powered by 5G New Radio
The 4th industrial revolution or the digital enterprise will re-build the business models in various industries through connectivity. The drivers for 5G NR in industrial IoT (IIoT) networks are (i) increased productivity, (ii) digital transformation through wireless technology and (iii) the use of private networks. The industrial IoT (IIoT) network will be scalable in connectivity, and number of devices and will be designed to deliver optimal performance for all industrial applications using key LTE and 5G NR features like URLLC, mMTC, 5G positioning, time sensitive communications (TSC) and to a lesser degree eMBB. This presentation begins with an overview, use cases and requirements for IIoT. The presentation discusses the foundation for URLLC in NR which was laid out in 3GPP Rel 15, mainly in support of IIoT, and URLLC enhancements in Rel-16, NR Positioning (Rel-16), TSC (Rel-16) and a version of NR known as NR-Light which is planned to be introduced in Rel 17. NR-Light aims to address use cases that cannot be met by NR eMBB, URLLC or mMTC. The system performance for an indoor ray traced factory using key 5G NR features like URLCC and TSC is presented.
