QoS: 5G vs 4G. How will QoS improve with 5G?

Here is a quick round-up on the promised values of the 5G QoS parameters:

Speed/throughput of 10Gbps, and a target of 20Gbps
End-to-end latency reduced to a range of 1-10 milliseconds and to 0.5 milliseconds for the physical network
Network availability stretched to 100%
Reliability parameters like block error ratio for 5G expected to be 0.00001 in a 1 millisecond period, compared to 0.01 in 4G
Jitter brought down to 10-100 microseconds
Bandwidth from 100Kbps for small sensor devices to several hundred megabits per second for industrial robotic cameras.

Suggestion Most welcome:

These are new technology and we all are in the learning phase if we will discuss more about 5G and the 4G question we could grow together.

  1. In 4G, QoS is based on bearers and in 5G, QoS is based on flow.

  2. In 4G EPS Bearer ID is used to differentiate between different QoS, in 5G we use QFI.

Note:

  1. 4G QoS is applied at EPS (Evolved Packet Service) bearer. There is one to one mapping like, for an EPS bearer, there is a corresponding EPS Radio Access Bearer (RAB), an S1 bearer and a Radio Bearer.

  2. In 5G, QoS flow are mapped to AN to DRBs.
