3GPP Releases 5G NSA

In December, 3GPP releases the first part of Release 15 covering the non-standalone (NSA) deployment of 5G New Radio (NR) to provide enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services using the LTE Core.

5G NR NSA Architecture Overview

In this article, we explore the fundamentals of the 5G NSA architecture, its deployment options (including Options 3, 3a, and 3x), and how it

Data-driven prioritization of 5G NSA bands

The most cost-effective option for rapid 5G coverage is Option 3, which involves deploying 5G base stations and interfacing them with the LTE packet core through LTE base stations.

Title: 5G NR NSA Optimization Hints

Enhanced Capacity: 5G NSA, especially for the 5G NR sector in the FR1 sub6GHz bands with sub-carrier spacing 30 kHz, allows for increased network capacity.

5G System Overview

Non-Standalone (NSA) Base Stations use Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) to provide user plane throughput across both the 4G and

TS 138 113

The present document covers the assessment of NR and NR with NB-IoT in-band operation Base Station (BS) and ancillary equipment in respect of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

5G NR in NSA mode leverages existing 4G infrastructure to provide initial 5G services, while 5G NR in SA mode offers a fully independent 5G network architecture designed to deliver the

5G Network Architectures and Technologies

Non-standalone (NSA): non-standalone networking. In NSA networking, 5G base stations cannot be deployed independently, requiring LTE base stations to be used as anchor points on the control
