5G System

Composes of
5GCN – so ditto pwede SNR or LTE stand alone upgraded, non standalone as the anchor of LTE

3GPP Next Gen RAN -> WiFi, N3IWFI

Non 3PP AN
UE user equipment as usual

Let’s talk about control plane and user plane.

User Plane: Carries the network user traffic -> Data plane <Kalsada> (NG U)
Control Plane: Carries Signaling Traffic <Traffic lights> (NG C)

So magkaiba ditto yung data plane and control plane so separate yung network as two logical constructs.

Let’s go to Network Architecture: NSA & SA

Non – Stand Alone (NSA) so meron kang Core network at meron kang dalawang technology, so eto yun
(LTE + 5G) signals. So nirereuse yung evolve poacket core and lte anchor. Dual connection ito.

Stand Alone -> so one core network and one base station (Only 5G)
Supports end to end network slicing
Utilizes the 3 5G advantages.
Requires good 5G coverage

What are the diff types of base station architecture?

AMF (access and mobility management function) so kasama to sa control plane
Registration management so inaallow niya yung UE na mag register sa 5G system. So more like
connection management. Eto nag establish and nag rerelease ng control between the UE and AMF.
We have mobility management din neto, other responsibilities like paging procedures, and acces ng NAS
(non access stratum)

UPF (user plane function) parang si SGW sa LTE, lahat ng data and flow ng traffic sa UPF dadaan si user
plane function sa simple sense is siya yung responsible ng forwarding the packets of data. So siyempre
before irelease data (parang DAM ng Tubig) may mga control functions before mag labas.
*siya din nag eenfore ng session aggregate

So let’s go sa NR deployment
 Option 1 -> eto yung LTE ddeployment natin, if meron kang EPC, and ENB so meron ka S1 User
plane and S1 Control plane
 Option 2 -> eto yung 5G core network to GnodeB NG U naman tawag and NG C
 Option 3 -> eto naman is combination ng LTE and 5G parang NSA
 Option 4 -> ang core network naman ditto is yung 5G core unlike sa option 3 na LTE yung core
network.
 Option 5 -> 5G core network, tapos LTE yung end equipment.
 Option 6 -> not practical, EPC tapos 5G UE
 Option 7 -> parang option 5 na may gNB

So si option 3, option 4, and option 7 are dual radio dual connectivity (MRDC)
@ option 3 ENB acts as the MN and enGNB acts as SN E UTRA NR DUAL CONNECTIVITY
@ option 4 GNB assct as the MN, so NR E UTRA dual connectivity
@option 7 NGeNB acts as MN gnB SN NGEN DC
@option 2 -> NR DC to pero one GNB act as an MN

So sa mga SA base stations naman are Option 2 and Option 5

@ option 2 you have 5G network then gNode B naman if Gnode to Gnode XN ang tawag

@ option 5 naman 5G network then NG EnodeB (LTE equipmnets)

NSA are Option 3 and Option 4

@option 3 kasi is from 4G core network to LTE antenna tapos ang problem is yung tunneling to a
secondary cell which is 5G baka kasi masakal niya yung LTE

@option 3A is may 4G network tapos ngayon direct yung data kay 5G tapos signaling mo is yung 4G
Kaso mabagal ang path switching procedure yun lang nagiging problem

@option 3X – meron ng direct connection kay SGW so eto yung mas sikat and prinopropose sa mga
vendor ngayon

@option 4 naman may 5G core network ka tapos connectode kay 5G antenna tapos bigyan mo lanng
data si LTE

@option 4A naman is 5G network bigay ka both on 5G and LTE na agad

@option 7 naman is 5G network ka din pero si LTE yung master node anteanna mo tapos bigay ka lang
kay 5G

@option 7A same na tsaka si 7X

So 5G migration to Option 2 talaagaa ganito ata ginaagwa ata. Dapat SA capable daw.\\

Some naman is paptayin na yung LTE antenna palitan na ng 5G tapos NR nalang

Yung iba namann meron parin EPC and 5GC then may radio ka na LTE may Dynamic spectrum sharin
parang binabalance both lte and 5g radio signals.

Some naman is yung Option 1 to option 3x eto daw ginagawa ng operator ngayon.

Then meron din option 3x + option 2.

Option 3x + 4 and 2

OPTION 2 IS THE HOLY GRAIL
