An Android phone, showing that it is connected to a 5G network An Apple iPhone showing that it is connected to a 5G Network. In telecommunications, 5G is the fifth generation of cellular network technology, which mobile operators began deploying worldwide in 2019 as the successor to 4G. 5G is based on standards defined by the International Telecommunication Union under the IMT-2020 ...
5G network slicing is a network architecture that enables the multiplexing of virtualized and independent logical networks on the same physical network infrastructure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Each network slice is an isolated end-to-end network tailored to fulfill diverse requirements requested by a particular application.
Multi-access edge computing (MEC), formerly mobile edge computing, is an ETSI-defined [1] network architecture concept that enables cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the cellular network [2] [3] and, more in general at the edge of any network. The basic idea behind MEC is that by running applications and ...
Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) is a 3GPP protocol used on the Sx/N4 interface between the control plane and the user plane function, specified in TS 29.244. [1] It is one of the main protocols introduced in the 5G Next Generation Mobile Core Network (aka 5GC [2]), but also used in the 4G/LTE EPC to implement the Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS). [3]
GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) is a group of IP-based communications protocols used to carry general packet radio service (GPRS) within GSM, UMTS, LTE and 5G NR radio networks. In 3GPP architectures, GTP and Proxy Mobile IPv6 based interfaces are specified on various interface points.
The main 5G NGMN work-items for 2015 were: the development of technical 5G requirements and architectural design principles, the analysis of potential 5G solutions and the assessment of future use-cases and business models. [20] Furthermore, the NGMN project teams addressed the areas IPR and Spectrum from a 5G perspective.
A simple view of the cellular mobile-radio network consists of the following: A network of radio base stations forming the base station subsystem. The core circuit switched network for handling voice calls and text; A packet switched network for handling mobile data; The public switched telephone network to connect subscribers to the wider ...
5G NR (5G New Radio) [1] is a radio access technology (RAT) developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project for the 5G (fifth generation) mobile network. [1] It was designed to be the global standard for the air interface of 5G networks. [ 2 ]
