Chinese telecom gear maker Huawei conducted the world’s first 5G large-scale field trial in the 4.5 GHz band, in collaboration with Japanese telco NTT DOCOMO , Wednesday.

The companies used new numerology and frame structure complying with 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) current agreements to conduct the joint field trial which achieved speed of 11.29 Gbps, in Yokohama, Japan, an official statement said.

"Our success in 5G large-scale field trial in the 4.5 GHz band brought the whole industry one step closer to 5G commercialization by 2020," Takehiro Nakamura, vice president and managing director of NTT DOCOMO’s 5G Laboratory said.

DOCOMO and Huawei have been expanding their collaboration on 5G from R&D to
international spectrum harmonization initiatives for 5G since December 2014. The companies succeeded in the world’s first large-scale outdoor field trial of Massive MIMO or large-scale antenna systems in Chengdu, China in October 2015.

Currently, the two companies are moving their large scale field trial to Japan and continue the systematic verification of 5G key technologies such as Massive MIMO, ultra-reliability and low latency, mixed numerology.

“Huawei is now putting a lot of resource and energy to 5G NR foundational technology development, market development and product solution development," Dr. Wen Tong, Huawei Fellow and CTO of Huawei Wireless Networks.

With the expert team we put together, the collaboration between Huawei and DOCOMO is now on the fast track and the progress is very encouraging, this achievement is extremely important to form the foundation of future 5G, he added.

The peak spectrum efficiency reached was 79.82 bps/Hz/cell. Huawei and DOCOMO will continue to further expand their joint 5G NR test scope, including mobility and large coverage, which are the most important aspects to launch the 5G network.
