A: 5G is the 5th generation mobile network . It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.
Read moreHow long will 5G be around?
The answer is that there will be a long period of time when 4G and 5G will co-exist. LTE, which stands for Long Term Evolution, will be around for at least 10 years , so 5G will not make LTE obsolete any time soon.
Read moreWhat is paired spectrum in 5G?
Radio spectrum is often organised (and sold) as paired spectrum – a block of spectrum in a lower frequency band and an associated block of spectrum in an upper frequency band . This arrangement of frequency bands with one band for the uplink and one band for the downlink is called paired spectrum.

5G NR supports carrier aggregation with 16 CCs . Carrier aggregation of LTE and 5G NR carriers is also possible which is known as Dual Connectivity (DC).
Read moreWhat is paired and unpaired spectrum in 5G?
In unpaired spectrum, asymmetry may be provided through the use of unequal duty cycles in the time domain for uplink and downlink. In paired spectrum, asymmetry is also possible via the deployment of unequal bandwidths for uplink and downlink.22 Tem 2011
