9. Data Communication using PDSCH in 5G Networks
Time: 90 min (video: 15 min + Chapter: 45 min + Code: 30 min)
The primary objective of communication in 5G networks is to transmit data from the transmitter to the receiver. This information is conveyed in the downlink and uplink using the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) respectively. The scope of this chapter is limited to downlink data communication using PDSCH. We will discuss the design of the air interface for PDSCH and all the MAC and RRC parameters that influence the throughput and reliability performance of the PDSCH.
