Flexible 5G gNB Implementation for Easy Tactical Deployment: a Focus on
the Radio Unit
Abstract
This paper deals with the implementation of a light fifth generation
(5G) base station (gNB) intended for specific use cases requiring an
airborne deployment of the network. We focus on the radio unit (RU) and
give details on the components, the implementations, and the technical
choices that have been made, driven by the strong constraints inherent
to the considered use cases.
