Description
Looking for a practical 5G and 6G eBook? 5G and the Path to 6G is an affordable eBook from 3D-LABS that gives engineers and students an instant PDF download covering 5G NR, massive MIMO and 6G fundamentals, with clear explanations and worked examples you can apply immediately.
5G and the Path to 6G covers 5G NR air interface design, NSA/SA network architecture, massive MIMO link budgets, and emerging 6G technologies including THz communication and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). It is written for RF engineers and network planners deploying 5G and preparing for 6G research.
What format does this book follow and what standards does it reference?
The book uses a specification-to-system workflow: each section begins with the 3GPP TS clause number, derives the engineering formula, and validates it in a network planning scenario. Standards referenced include 3GPP TS 38.101-1 (Release 17) (NR UE RF), 3GPP TS 38.211 (physical channels, modulation), 3GPP TS 38.300 (NR architecture), and ITU-R M.2150 (IMT-2020 technical requirements).
What is the 5G NR link capacity formula used?
Throughput = Layers × Subcarriers × Modulation-order × Code-rate × Symbols/slot × Slots/s × Overhead-factor. For peak rate per 3GPP TS 38.306: Rpeak = Σj vLayers · Qm · f · Rmax · (NPRB·12/Ts)·(1 − OH), where Qm is modulation order (2–8 for QPSK–256QAM), Rmax=948/1024, and OH is overhead (0.14 for DL, 0.18 for UL).
What 6G technologies are addressed?
THz propagation models (100 GHz–10 THz), RIS passive beamforming gain equations, AI-native MAC layer design per ITU-R IMT-2030 framework, and joint communication and sensing (JCAS) OFDM waveform design. Each section cites the relevant ITU-R WP 5D study group document.
How do I access this book after purchase?

About 5G and the Path to 6G
5G and the Path to 6G is part of the 3D-LABS Communication series — a focused e-book library for engineers, managers, and technical leads who want to communicate more effectively. This title covers technical writing, presentation skills, cross-functional collaboration, client communication, and reporting, with worked examples and industry-current best practices drawn from real communication projects.
Written by practising 3D-LABS engineers and reviewed by senior specialists, 5G and the Path to 6G is designed to move you from concept to competence quickly — not to be a comprehensive academic reference, but a working reference you actually use.
Who 5G and the Path to 6G is for
5G and the Path to 6G is written for engineers, managers, and technical leads who want to communicate more effectively. If you are:
