5G NR RAN Protocol Stack Overview

The document describes the radio protocol stacks in 5G NR networks. The user plane stack includes the SDAP, PDCP, RLC, MAC and PHY layers, which are responsible for QoS, header compression, error correction, scheduling and wireless transmission respectively. The control plane stack consists of NAS and RRC layers that handle authentication, security, mobility and radio resource management. Together these protocol layers enable efficient and reliable communication between the UE and gNodeB in 5G NR networks.
