What is 5G?

5G is a 5th generation mobile communication that uses new radio-access called New
Radio (NR) and connected to a new 5G core network called 5GCN and focuses on 3
distinctive classes of use cases:
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)
Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC)
Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC)

5G Use Cases

Each use case category has its own set of requirements.

For example, eMBB requires high connection throughputs and high network capacity,

whereas URLLC requires low latency and high reliability for devices with both low and
high mobility.
The ITU-R has identified a general set of requirements and has assigned an importance
to each requirement for each use case.

Minimum Requirements for IMT2020 Radio Interface

The Radio Communications Sector of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-

R) has specified a set of requirements for IMT2020 technologies within report ITU-R
M.2410-0.

5G Core Network

5G System Service Based architecture specifies a set of Network Functions (NF)

and a common bus which inter-connects those Network Functions. The Service
Based architecture is applicable to the control plane section of the 5G Core Network.
