5G Network Architecture

5G NR network is composed of NG RAN (Next

Generation Radio Access Network) and 5GC (5G Core

Network).

• gNB node provides NR user plane and control plane

protocol terminations towards the UE and it is

connected via the NG interface to the 5GC.

• The ng-eNB node providing E-UTRA (i.e. LTE) user

plane and control plane protocol terminations

towards the UE, and connected via the NG interface

to the 5GC.

AMF – Access and Mobility Management Function

UPF – User Plane Function

Xn – Interface between base stations

NG – Interface exists between 5GC and these base stations

5G Technology areas

10

Millimetre-wave communications: Key features:

• Data rate: 10Gbps or higher

• Frequency bands: <40GHz and >40GHz upto 100GHz

frequency

• Distance coverage: 2m to 300m

• Modulation types: CP-OFDMA <40GHz

• Frame topology: TDD

• The frame duration is about 10ms. The frame contains smaller subframes each of 1ms duration. The

subframe is made up of OFDMA symbols.

• Downlink (i.e. transmissions from eNB to UEs) and uplink (i.e. transmissions from UEs to eNB) are allocated

different time instances in the subframe and use same RF frequencies in TDD topology at different time slots.

• There will be GP (Guard Period or Gap) between different parts of subframe to avoid interference.

Waveforms: • Different waveform formats include are Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), Filter Bank

Multi-Carrier (FBMC), Universal Filtered Multi Carrier (UFMC)

5G waveform requirements:

CP-OFDM and DFT-S-OFDM

5G Technology areas

Multiple-Access: • Different areas under multiple access techniques include:

• Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA): It has been widely used and very successful for

4G and could be used as a 5G multiple access scheme.

• Sparse code multiple access (SCMA): It is effectively a combination of OFDMA and CDMA.

• Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA): It superposes multiple users in the power domain. It uses

OFDMA or DFT-spread OFDM.
