Have we mastered them yet? 5G-and-beyond presents new synchronization problems that require new solutions. The industry has not mastered control and management of the time- domain, at least not TI - Innovation,Verticals, and Beams:Importance of Time-Domain Masteryfor 5G-and-Beyond JF - Journal of ICT Standardization DO - 10.13052/jicts2245-800x.7237 DA - 2019-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/innovation-verticals-and-beams-importance-of-time-domain-masteryfor-5g-ys0uFoWbFB DP - DeepDyve ER -
