Non-standalone architecture S1 interface

operation. The 5G gNB is LTE RAN
LTE EPC
connected to the LTE EPC, with
User plane
LTE eNodeB acting as anchor for
the Control Plane.
5G Non-Standalone Architecture 5G NR
is a way forward to capitalize on RAN
the LTE installed base, and an
acceleration option to deploy 5G The alternative approach is 5G Standalone where the 5G core (5GC) is
without needing to have a installed and the LTE overlay is no longer needed for the 5G operation
dedicated 5G core network (5GC).
This option (5G SA) will be supported by Nokia 5G19 release (and by final
version of 3GPP Rel.15)

5G NR frequency bands
The 5G New Radio design is radio- Different numerologies have been defined, to
frequency agnostic, allowing 5G NR to be provide flexibility in terms of subcarrier
deployed on almost any radio frequency spacing and slot duration (cell range and
band (considered bands cover 600 MHz to coherence in the frequency band)
70 GHz span).
