Abstract
Global demand for higher bandwidth mobile Internet services stimulates the constant evolution of cellular technologies. Today, cellular networks are saturated with frequencies below 3 GHz. To achieve the required increase in data rates, more bandwidth is required in the higher frequency range. Due to increasing bandwidth requirements, 5th generation (5G) mobile networks are targeting the frequency range of 3 to 6 GHz (FR1). It is also planned to use frequencies in the 24-29 GHz range for 5G networks. Despite the expected widespread use of the frequency range from 3 to 6 GHz, there is little empirical data on path losses and experience in mobile radio network planning. In this paper, a methodology has been developed for determining the coverage area of the 5G network base station taking into account most equipment and signal parameters for different signal propagation models. An expression has been obtained to determine the data transfer rate in 5G-NR equipment in TDD mode. Calculations results of the coverage area are presented using the example for the city of Novosibirsk for a frequency of 4.8 GHz. The deployment problem when planning 5G network coverage is analyzed.
