5G Basic PART I
Home LTE NB-IoT 5G(NR-NSA) Hi guys, this is our first 5G basic part in which we touch upon the difference between gNB and ng-eNB and service based architecture. What is gNB? It is the node that provides NR C ontrol Plane and U ser Plane protocol terminations towards the UE. gNB is connected to the 5G Core Network through the NG Interface. What is ng-eNB? It is the node which provides E-UTRA/LTE C ontrol Plane and U ser Plane protocol terminations towards the UE. ng-eNB is connected to the 5G Core Network through the NG Interface. What is NG-RAN Architecture? NG-RAN is the representation of the newly defined Radio Access Network(RAN) for 5G. It allows the UE(device) to get both NR and LTE radio access. The below diagram shows the inter-relation of NG-RAN with the overall 5G Core Network system. Xn interface: An ng-eNB is connected with other ng-eNBs and gNBs through the Xn interface. NG int
