In a very promising partnership, Samsung and Qualcomm have joined forces to improve downlink speeds by more than 20% through some major updates to the 3GPP Release 17 para 5G.
This update brings support for 1024 QAM technology and it is through this that the data transfer speed becomes even higher, at least that is what was shown by the two technology companies.
To achieve this increase, Samsung 5G vRAN technology running at 2.1 GHz (Frequency Division Duplex – FDD) and 3.5 GHz (Time Division Duplex – TDD) was used and also a Qualcomm test smartphone equipped with one Snapdragon X75 5G Modem-RF System.
As a result, the tests managed to achieve a speed result of 485 Mbps with a bandwidth of 20 MHz. This number symbolizes an increase of 20% compared to 256 QAM, which is the technology used in 5G networks currently.
The technology was tested at Samsung’s R&D laboratory in Korea. It was the first time in the industry that this was achieved through an FDD band (Frequency Division Duplexing as opposed to Time Division Duplexing).
The Korean giant also commented that it is testing 1024 QAM in more common RAN configurations and believes that, by the end of 2024, the technology will be available for purchase. Qualcomm has also invested in Arm processor focusing on Windows computers!
