The problem with using radio signals so close to the GPS frequency (GPS is simply a very sensitive and sophisticated radio receiver) is that spillover can cause interference with the very faint radio signals received by GPS. Simply put, while we all want 5G, it can’t come at the expense of GPS .
Read moreWhy does 5G need GPS?
In order to minimize and even avoid interference , the timing and synchronizations techniques used in the cellular network will need to evolve to support the new 5G requirements. The time of day messages and the timing pulse received from the GPS satellite constellation will also be used differently.

Location Management Function (LMF) An LMF uses the Namf_Communication service on the NL1 interface to request UE positioning from the access network over N2, or to communicate with the UE over N1 for UE-based or UE-assisted positioning.

“The benefit of 5G will be seen in the long term, when 5G ranging capability is available. Hybrid positioning algorithms using both 5G and GNSS observations will provide significant positioning benefits in challenging urban environments and seamless navigation between indoor and outdoor environments .
