AI Technical Summary
5G networks are vulnerable to physical layer denial, particularly the Xn interface between gNodeBs, which can be subject to jamming and spectral interference, compromising control channels and data traffic channels.
Implementing a Common Data Link (CDL) protocol, such as a directional bandwidth-efficient CDL (BE-CDL) waveform, to transmit Xn interfaces and Uu interfaces with tactical waveforms, enhancing resistance to physical layer denial and spectral interference.
The CDL protocol and tactical waveforms improve the likelihood of maintaining communication links between gNodeBs and UEs by reducing the impact of jamming, ensuring robust signaling and data transmission even in contested environments.
