5G NR NSA Network Access Issues and Possible Root Cause
Many of the operator across the global has started providing 5G services using NSA mode with Option 3.x . In NSA mode the network topology consist of a LTE cell, […]
5G NR Stand Alone (SA) Requirement Analysis to Inter-Op with 4G
5G NR deployment option 2 as known as Stand Alone (SA) Architecture where 5G gNB connect to 5G Core network for all signalling and Data sessions. 4G LTE will coexist […]
5G NSA Option 3.x Deployment Interface BW Calculation
5G NSA 3.x Architecture 5G NR, initial deployments are based on 5G NSA, also known as Option-3. There are multiple variants of Option-3 namely option 3, Option 3a and Option […]
5G NR Modulation and Coding Scheme – Modulation and Code Rate
For any communication technology, Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) defines the numbers of useful bits which can carried by one symbol. In contrast with 5G or 4G, a symbol is […]
5G Core (5GC) Characteristics
3GPP defines that 5G Core Network to have a decomposed network architecture with the introduction of a service-based interface (SBI) using HTTP/2 as a baseline communication protocol, and control plane […]
NFVO Management Function Validation Test Suite
Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) are managed and orchestrated by the NFV MANO through the NFVI. It allows a VNF to be instantiation, management, scaled up or down and in or […]
5G NR RSRP Measurement Report Mapping
In 5G NR, RSRP measurement is performed and reported at Layer 1 (Physical Layer) and Layer 3 (RRC Layer). For example, 5G capable device can provide SS-RSRP measurements at Layer […]
5G NR RRC Timers, Counters and Constants
5G NR radio resource control (RRC) has introduced following listed timers, counters and constant for reliable functioning of procedures like RRCsetuprequest, RRCreestablishment, RRCresume, RRCsuspend etc. RRC timer indicates the timer […]
5G NR RRM Measurement Requirements
In 5G NR, the Sync Signal/PBCH block (SSB) burst is consists of multiple SSBs. These multiple SSBs are associated with the different SSB indexes and with the different transmission beams […]
What is Sub-6 GHz & mmWave in 5G and Why mmWave bands are required?
As we all know, we have cell phone towers or antennas placed all around us which provide our phones with the coverage they need to keep us connected to the […]
