5G New Radio (NR) has attracted a large amount of interest with its foreseen improvement of user experience and capacity. To become a commercial success coverage is also an important consideration. The sub-6 bands are expected to provide good coverage. One such useful band is 3.5 GHz. In this paper the coverage of 3.5 GHz is studied by means of a full-scale trial with a NR testbed. With beamforming the increased propagation losses at 3.5 GHz compared to 2.1 GHz can be compensated and the coverage was demonstrated to be on par with 2.1 GHz LTE fixed antenna coverage both outdoor and indoor. |
