Is mobility in 5G different from 4G?
My friend: Hi Ibrahim, I have a question for you.
Me: Please, go ahead.
My friend: I was wondering if mobility in 5G differs from 4G or they are the same?
Me: Actually, it is different little a bit.
My friend: But, how are they different?
Me:
In 4G we have mainly mobility between cells, while in 5G we’ve mobility
between cells and beams which is called beam switching as well. So,
both the 5G BTS and UE must be capable of changing beams as the radio
conditions change.
My friend: But, how beam and cell mobility are done in 5G?
Me:
Beam switching is done inside each cell which is called intra-cell
mobility which requires layer 1 and layer 2 procedures. While, mobility
between cells or what is called inter-cell mobility involves a handover
which requires layer 3 procedures. Cell level measurements can be the
average of different beams measurement or the value of the strongest
beam depending on the algorithm used by each vendor.
My friend: Thanks a lot. You made it clear.
Me: You are most welcome.
