[PDF] 5g ran architecture options

The 5G RAN architecture has two main options: non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA). In NSA mode, the 5G RAN relies on the existing 4G LTE network for some of the control functions, such as signaling and mobility.

  • What is the 5G RAN option?

    What is 5G RAN? 5G is about connecting things everywhere while enabling new use cases. A 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) relies on a fully coordinated, multi-layer network with low-band, mid-band and high-band to provide wireless connectivity to devices and deliver the best network performance.

  • What are the architecture options supported by ng RAN?

    The NG?RAN provides both NR and LTE radio access. The NG?RAN provides both an LTE radio interface and a 5G?NR radio interface. The NG?RAN node is responsible for managing radio resources, controlling the radio bearer establishment of the user plane and managing mobility during the session.

  • What are the options for 5G deployment?

    The 5G deployment options range from a standalone LTE network connected to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to a non-standalone network that integrates both LTE and 5G New Radio (NR) access technologies controlled by either the EPC or the 5G Core (5GC).
  • The standardised NSA EPC networking architecture includes Option 3, Option 3a, and Option 3x. In the Option 3 networking mode, the X2 interface traffic between eNB and gNB has NSA user plane traffic.
