5G NR Throughput Calculator

Overview: A 3GPP-aligned, multi-layer throughput estimation tool covering the full gNB protocol stack from PHY to PDCP. Built for RF engineers, protocol testers, and RAN architects who need quick but specification-accurate numbers without opening a spreadsheet or reading 38.214 line by line. Tool Features 4-layer protocol stack Calculates throughput independently at PHY, MAC, RLC, and PDCP — each with its own overhead model per 3GPP specs, not a single flat deduction. All thr

RAN Intelligence with xApps and rApps

1. Introduction Radio Access Networks are becoming more software-driven, disaggregated, and automation-centric. To handle the complexity of dense deployments, Massive MIMO, spectrum fragmentation, and diverse traffic profiles, operators are moving toward intelligent control loops in the RAN.This is where O-RAN Alliance’s RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) architecture—featuring rApps (non-real time, >1 second) and xApps (near-real time, 10 ms–1 s)—comes into play. These applica
