Smartphones - Can they Handle the Heat of 5G?lllSmartphones Overheating on 5G|smartviser.com

By -


SmartViser team have done several smartphones testing  in  lab ranging from entry-level to flagship, with various chipsets from Qualcomm to Exynos and MediaTek. Several smartphones overheated after only 20 minutes of operation while in 5G, despite all testing performed exactly in the same conditions. These conditions included aspects of the environment like an office with Air Con at 16 degrees Celsius as well as ensuring the same network conditions with good 5G coverage.

SmartViser team testing results for the smartphones identified 3 main groups:

GROUP 1

Smartphone did not overheat and continued with the data transfer for the duration of the testing. 

GROUP 2

The smartphone reached 48 degrees after 20 minutes. As the temperature continued to increase, the smartphone displayed an error message. The image below shows how the temperature was rising in correlation with the data throughput usage.
Group 3

This group was the most interesting one for results. The smartphones switched off applications working in the background and moved from 5G to 4G, helping to slow the data transfer and allowing the smartphone to cool. Again, this group of smartphones overheated after about 20 minutes.

Pa Pb in LTE and its impact on User Throughput

Downlink signals are  made up of many different components. For example, Reference Signal, PDCCH, PDSCH etc. The RS power and the SCH powers are key RF optimization parameters that influences the cell coverage. It is set according to the cell size. The higher the setting, the larger the cell coverage  on the downlink, but leaves smaller power headroom available for other downlink signals  and channels. The relation between RS power and power on PDSCH symbols (includes type A and type B symbols), has to be defined and reported to the UE, in order for the UE to demodulate 16QAM and 64QAM.1 PDSCH type A symbols has only PDSCH RE’s, PDSCH type B symbols has mixed RS and PDSCH REs. Parameter PA sets the power of PDSCH type A RE relative to cell‐specific RS, PB sets the power relation between PDSCH type B RE, and PDSCH type A RE (ρB/ρA in 3GPP). The ratio of PDSCH EPRE to cell‐specific RS EPRE among PDSCH REs for each OFDM  symbol is denoted by either ρA or ρB a...

LTE Layer management Strategy and basic working [LMS] Unlock

LMS Insight Layer Management Parameter Optimization is important aspect & it is triggered when all possible optimization techniques for ensuring best experience to customers is exhausted in the current layer For Example in a typical 3 Layered cellular network, we have LTE layer (with a mix of TDD(2.5GHz) and FDD(1.8GHz)), followed by WDCMA Layer (WCDMA2100) & then the GSM layer (1800 MHz Before actually working on Layer Management Parameter Optimization, we need to ensure Traffic Balancing within the layers is proper & as per recommendations to give desired customer experience Pre-requisite Actions Ensure below checks before moving to optimize the Layer Management Thresholds for a cell. Traffic balancing within layers should be optimal -  if network has 2 layers of LTE i.e. both TDD-20 MHz & FDD-5 MHz, Traffic distribution for collocated cells with TDD/FDD should be 75:25 (TDD: FDD) or better. This is applicable to networks with 2 carriers of WCDMA as well where the...
