Telefonica and Huawei signed a 5G & NG-RAN

Telefónica and Huawei have developed a new proof-of-concept for a 5G radio access network (RAN) that transfers the logistics of cellular handover from the mobile device to the network.

The technology, called UCNC (user centric and no cell), will minimise potential disruption to 5G services, compared with current mobility management techniques, and enable operators to more reliable and efficient 5G services, according to Telefónica. 
In lab trials, the pair claimed to have been able to increase the number of connections per cell by 233 percent, reduce “signalling overheads” by 78 percent and decrease latency by 95 percent, compared with latest versions of LTE.
