NSA (Non-Standalone Access) and SA (Standalone Access) are the two 5G network modes . NSA relies on the 4G network facilities to provide more speed and higher data bandwidth. A 5G-enabled smartphone will connect to a 5G or 4G network depending on conditions.
Read moreHow does NSA 5G work?
5G NSA mode utilizes dual connectivity with 4G and 5G radios, which allows devices to send and receive data using 4G and 5G simultaneously to independent sites as needed . In this scenario, the network is not just using a 4G anchor.
Read moreWhat is evolution of air interface towards 5G?
The above mentioned requirements are expected to be met by several advancement in technologies such as (i) new waveforms (termed as 5G NR, the new radio), (ii) millimeter wave technology, (iii) massive multiple antenna technologies (iv) non orthogonal multiple access (v) heterogeneous networks such as small cells and …
Read moreWhat is 5G NR air interface?
5G NR is a new air interface being developed for 5G . An air interface is the radio frequency portion of the circuit between the mobile device and the active base station. The active base station can change as the user is on the move, with each changeover known as a handoff.
