LTE Advanced uses carrier aggregation to speed mobile data over the network more quickly than ever before, providing customers with 50 percent faster peak speeds . Today, more than 98 percent of the U.S. population has access to 4G LTE and 90 percent of Verizon Wireless’ data traffic is carried over the network.

In 5G, One NR Resource Block (RB) contains 12 sub-carriers in frequency domain similar to LTE. In LTE resource block bandwidth is fixed to 180 KHz but in NR it is not fixed and depend on sub-carrier spacing.

NSA (Non-Standalone) refers to the joint networking of 5G and 4G LTE , which means that 5G networks are deployed on the basis of existing 4G equipment. In the 5G NSA networking mode, operators can share 4G and 5G core networks.
Read moreWhat is NR in network?
5G New Radio (NR) is the global standard for a unified, more capable 5G wireless air interface . It will deliver significantly faster and more responsive mobile broadband experiences, and extend mobile technology to connect and redefine a multitude of new industries.
Read moreWhat are N bands 5G?
Sub-6 Cellular LTE/5G NR Frequency Band Guide. 5G cellular, or 5G NR, supports two frequency ranges, FR1, from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz, and FR2 from 24.45 GHz to 52.6 GHz . The FR1 range, also referred to as “Sub-6,” generally overlaps LTE cellular frequencies.
Read moreWhat is NR NSA bands?
The Non-Standalone (NSA) mode using a combination of a New Radio (NR) technology for 5G and LTE/LTE-A, and 2 . The Standalone (SA) mode using a unique 5G NR technology where data is sent and received using control between base stations and mobile terminals (UE).
Read moreWhat is LTE and NR?
5G NR Differences from LTE LTE has a packet-switched architecture that supports a wide range of data applications . Voice is also supported as voice over LTE (VoLTE) or using fallback mechanisms to 3G and circuit-switched technologies. The 5G NR specification embraces a flexible air interface.
