What is Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) for 5G?

Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) is a 3GPP standardized cloud-native microservice that calls upon other 5G SAmicroservice functions inside the network core to provide the data that can become operational […]

What is N3IWF Function in 5G?

With 5GC, 4G, 3G and Non-5G-RAN (radio access networks other than 5G) such as public Wi-Fi will be able to connect to 5GC via a common interface. Using the N3IWF […]

What is the DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) ?

Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) allows both 4G and 5G to dynamically share the same spectrum, reusing existing 4G radios (e.g., antennas). With DSS, mobile operators can swiftly expand 5G coverage […]

What is The Difference between PTP and SyncE?

Previously, legacy synchronous networks relied on network elements to transmit and receive data at the same frequency in order to establish communication links. Modern data networks have more challenging Timing […]

What is the difference between D-RAN and C-RAN?

D-RAN is the traditional RAN or Radio Access Network where BBU (Baseband Unit) and RRH (Remote Radio Head) are placed on the same place in the site. C-RAN is the […]

What is the difference between Private Networks and Network Slicing?

As per GSMA in the last white paper, Securing private networks in the 5G era Private Network A private (mobile) network is where network infrastructure is used exclusively by devices […]

What is the difference between 4G and 5G Cell Sites?

What is Open RAN?

Open RAN is an open radio access network (RAN) architecture standardized by the O-RAN Alliance based on 3GPP and other standards. O-RAN Alliance’s RAN functional split is based on the […]

What Is The Importance Of C-RAN?

In brief, C-RAN or Centralized RAN is to moving the BBU to a central office. This logical step is possible due to the fact that optical fibers are available between […]
