The Radio Access Network (RAN) belonging to 4G is known as Long Term Evolution (LTE), whereas the RAN belonging to 5G is known as New Radio (NR). NR has been standardized to allow tight interworking with LTE. Tight interworking supports the inter-connection of LTE and NR Base Stations. These Base Stations can then be used in combination to serve the population of User Equipment (UE). 5G network architectures based upon tight interworking between LTE and NR are known as Non-Standalone (NSA) Standalone (SA) NR Base Stations provide connectivity to a 5G Core Network. The combination of NR Base Station and 5G Core Network is known as a 5G System (SGS). What is 5G?

Although it is not always explicitly specified, it should be assumed that an inter BS interface may be supported between an gNB and other gNBs or (e)LTE eNBs. 33 Non-centralised deployment In this scenario, the full protocol stack is supported at the gNB e.g. in a macro deployment or indoor hotspot environment (could be public or enterprise). The gNB can be connected to “any” transport. It is assumed that the gNB is able to connect to other gNBs or (e)LTE eNBs via a RAN interface. CORE RAN CN Interface RAN CN Interface gNB RAN CN Interface gNB e(LTE) eNB Non-centralised deployment 34 Co-sited deployment with E-UTRA In this scenario the NR functionality is co-sited with E-UTRA functionality either as part of the same base station or as multiple base stations at the same site. Co-sited deployment can be applicable in all NR deployment scenarios e.g. Urban Macro. In this scenario it is desirable to fully utilize all spectrum resources assigned to both RATs by means of load balancing or connectivity via multiple RATs (e.g. utilizing lower frequencies as coverage layer for users on cell edge). CORE Site A E-UTRA Site B gNB E-Utra Co-sited deployment with E-UTRA gNB 35 Centralized deployment NR should support centralization of the upper layers of the NR radio stacks. Different protocol split options between Central Unit and lower layers of gNB nodes may be possible. The functional split between the Central Unit and lower layers of gNB nodes may depend on the transport layer. CORE Central Unit Lower Layer of gNB Lower Layer of gNB Lower Layer of gNB 36 Base station Options in 5G Standalone NR(SA) NoN-Standalone NR(NSA) Non-Standalone (NSA) mode of 5G NR refers to an option of 5G NR deployment that depends on the control plane of existing LTE network for control functions, while 5G NR exclusively focused on user plane Standalone (SA) mode of 5G NR refers to using 5G cells for both signaling and information transfer. It includes the new 5G Packet core architecture instead of relying on the 4G EPC. 37 5G Networking Options SA/NSA Definition (38.801) Non-standalone NR: A deployment configuration where the gNB requires an LTE eNB as anchor for control plane connectivity to EPC, or an eLTE eNB as anchor for control plane connectivity to NGC.

Transmission with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas is a well-known diversity technique to enhance the reliability of the communication. with multiple antennas, multiple streams can be sent out and hence, we can obtain a multiplexing gain which significantly improves the communication capacity. What is Massive MIMO? Multiple antenna to serve multiple subscriber CSI 02 K Data Stream Data Stream Data Stream 1 Precoding 01 01 Data Stream Terminal 1 2 02 Data Stream Terminal 2 K K Terminal K Massive MIMO - Base Station Data Stream How Is Massive MIMO Different? Massive MIMO is an extension of multi-user MIMO or MU-MIMO, in which the base station transmitter simultaneously communicates with multiple mobile station receivers using the same time-frequency resources, improving the spectrum efficiency. MIMO implementation starts with a 2x2 channel antenna array. Massive MIMO systems typically have hundreds or even thousands of antenna channels in the array Types of MIMO systems. Massive MIMO Beamforming What does Beamforming mean? Beamforming is a kind of radio frequency (RF) management in which an access point makes use of various antennas to transmit the exact same signal. Beamforming is considered a subset of smart antennas or Advanced Antenna Systems (AAS). By broadcasting various signals and examining client feedback, the wireless LAN infrastructure could very well modify the signals it transmits. This way, it can identify the ideal path the signal must follow to get to a client device. Beamforming efficiently enhances the uplink and downlink SNR performances as well as the overall network capacity. Beamforming is also known as spatial filtering. Beamforming Principle Introduction Waves transmitted from multiple antennas will add constructively/destructively in space. By changing the phases and amplitudes (→ complex weights, beamforming vector) of the individual antennas we can change the azimuths of these specific areas → beam pattern To transmit to a specific user, ideally signals from all of the transmit antennas should arrive at its receive antenna in the same phase to add constructively. To achieve this, knowledge about channel coefficients is needed to direct a beam. With limited channel knowledge the results will be sub-optima Beamforming SU-MIMO Generalised Beamforming MU-MIMO Beamforming Advantages Higher SNR: The highly directional transmission enhances the link budget, improving the range for both open-space as well as indoor penetration. Interference prevention and rejection: Beamforming prevails over internal and external cochannel interference (CCI) by taking advantage of the antennas' spatial properties. Higher network efficiency: By substantially minimizing CCI, beamforming allows much denser deployments compared to single antenna systems. The possibility of operating highorder modulations (16QAM, 64QAM,256QAM ) greatly improves the overall capacity. D2D COMMUNICATION So, what is D2D? Device-to-Device (D2D) communication refers to a radio technology that enables devices to communicate directly with each other, that is without routing the data paths through a network infrastructure. This technique opens new device-centric communication that often requires no direct communication with the network infrastructure, hence is expected to solve part of the network capacity issue as 5G promises more devices to be connected in faster, more reliable networks. Potential application scenarios include, among others, proximity-based services where devices detect their proximity and subsequently trigger different services (such as social applications triggered by user proximity, advertisements, local exchange of information, smart communication between vehicles, etc.). Other applications include public safety support, where devices provide at least local connectivity even in case of damage to the radio infrastructure.

Slicing across radio, transport, core edge and central clouds Source Nokia Network slicing Network slicing is a main feature of 5G networks used to optimize allocation of resources and increase cost and energy efficiencies. V2X 5G V2X Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Vehicle to Everything(V2X) include the following components Vehicle to vehicle (V2V) Vehicle to Network (V2N) Vehicle to infrastructure(V2I) Vehicle to Pedestrian(V2P) To achieve reliable road safety and enable critical communication services in usage of mobile networks for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. Based on the definition in 3GPP, the V2X consists of Vehicle- to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), Vehicle-to-(roadway)-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) communications. For V2V, the short-range radio communication technologies like IEEE Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or 3GPP LTE-V (also known as PC5 or sidelink at the physical layer) standards can be used For V2P, the PC5 interface can be used, while V2I and V2N rely on Cellular, i.e., C-V2X, to enable the vehicle to communicate with the roadside equipment (Road Side Units – RSU, traffic lights, etc.). The cellular network can also facilitate vehicular connectivity with a remote application server.
