Spectral efficiency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spectral efficiencyspectrum efficiency or bandwidth efficiency refers to the information rate that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific communication system. It is a measure of how efficiently a limited frequency spectrum is utilized by the physical layer protocol, and sometimes by the media access control (the channel access protocol).[1]

Communication – 5G for Europe: An Action Plan and accompanying Staff Working Document | Digital Single Market

https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/communication-5g-europe-action-plan-and-accompanying-staff-working-document

5G announcement by FCC

What is key here is unlicensed use of wifi channels.


5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) denotes the proposed next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced standards. 5G planning includes Internet connection speeds faster than current 4G, and other improvements.

The Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance defines the following requirements for 5G networks:[1]

  • Data rates of tens of megabits per second for tens of thousands of users
  • 1 Gb per second simultaneously to many workers on the same office floor
  • Several hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections for massive wireless sensor network
  • Spectral efficiency significantly enhanced compared to 4G
  • Coverage improved
  • Signalling efficiency enhanced
  • Latency reduced significantly compared to LTE.[2]
