Compare NR vs LTE speed

[DavieB]

Hi Guys,

NR vs LTE speed question: Compare NR2600 20Mhz vs LTE2600 20Mhz carrier, forget all other factors.

Let’s for simplicity say it’s only 1 carrier and everything else is equal.

In LTE %10 guard band fixed, independent of BW.
In NR, no fixed guard band %4.6 guardband so you have slightly better speed at FDD.

100 RB in LTE vs 106 RB in NR.

380 mbps in lab with LTE I achieved easily, in NR, 390 mbps you can reach in FDD.

4x4 MIMO

DL spectral efficiency, 13.1 LTE versus 16 in NR.
