Abstract

National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) around the world are charged with supporting industry through improved measurement science and by providing a traceability path to fundamental physical standards. Mobile wireless communications have become a ubiquitous resource throughout the world, with new technological challenges expected in the near future to overcome the spectrum crunch. In response, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has launched a new Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) with the mission of identifying and developing new measurement science related to wireless communications. The 4-year-old NIST “5G and Beyond” Program described here includes a host of projects intended to proactively support the development of measurements and standards for next-generation wireless technology.
