Solution Overview

Scenarios and Problems

Access control and user identification

When RedCap terminals as the new type terminal accessing 5G existing commercial networks, access control and user identification need to be performed, and the bandwidth adaption also needs to be considered

Share existing 5G network resources

As RedCap terminals will completely share the resources of existing 5G network with the regular 5G terminals, it is necessary to consider the compatibility to maximize the utilization of network resources

Requires differentiated network capabilities

RedCap will eventually be applied to various industries, and each industry has its own specific demands. The differentiated network capabilities is required to match the RedCap application scenarios

Advantages and Highlights

The basic RedCap features are used to ensure smooth access of RedCap terminals to 5G existing networks

Differentiated RedCap access control strategies to match various RedCap terminal types; flexible BWP bandwidth configuration to adapt different 5G network system bandwidths

The enhanced RedCap features can maximize the usage ratio of network resources

BWP Adaptive Adding and Deleting flexibly match the network load and achieve optimal BWP configuration to avoid resource waste; multiple coverage enhancement functions improve uplink coverage of RedCap terminals to avoid the change of current network planning

RedCap + X ensures the service requirements in various industries can be satisfied

For different industries such as power gird, manufacturing, security, and wearables, the different features such as slicing, uRLLC, NodeEngine, and VoNR can be flexibly introduced to match industry demands to provide application-oriented extreme performance guarantee

Customer Values

Significant reduction in terminal cost and power consumption

The introduction of RedCap can bring the significant reduction in terminal cost and power consumption while still meeting application demands, promoting the large-scale deployment of current 5G applications and fully enabling digital and intelligent transformation

Bring more industrial opportunities

As the medium- and high- speed IoT technology, RedCap can also bring more industrial opportunities and larger 5G application market space besides current 5G applications. For example, some scenarios such as the sharing economy, which are currently mainly carried by 4G, can also become the targeted RedCap use case
