A 5G UE in an SA NR network (with the 5GC) looks for a 5G NR cell after power-up. The UE performs cell acquisition and carries out random access in a suitable NR cell. The UE then proceeds to execute procedures such as Registration and PDU Session Establishment. Once relevant logical connections are set up, […]

3GPP significantly expands the scope of 5G in R16 and beyond. Communication modalities are enhanced or newly introduced. For example, the support for unlicensed spectrum operations and vehicle-to-anything communications is added. 3GPP is also looking at the sky…by adding satellite-based communications. Security is enhanced further. Go ahead and get a bird’s eye view of all […]

No doubt, LTE offers an extensive QoS framework. In Release 8, LTE defined nine levels of QoS by specifying nine QoS Class Identifiers (QCIs). Well, 5G QoS even more extensive than LTE QoS. Indeed, 5G has more QoS parameters compared to LTE QoS. Additionally, capabilities of 5G enables 5G to support a new type of […]
