Dynamic spectrum sharing is increasingly being seen as a key feature in ramping up 5G New Radio roll-outs, by allowing LTE and 5G NR to co-exist in low-band spectrum currently being used for LTE — enabling carriers to establish a 5G coverage layer that does not require spectrum re-farming, and is more extensive than that provided by millimeter wave.
In September of this year, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies conducted the first 5G NR data call using DSS in FDD low-band spectrum.
