 5G supports full spectrum
access. The new spectrum of
C-band and millimeter wave,
and the legacy spectrum
Sub3GHz can be used for 5G.
 Multi-band optimization is
required in the 5G era: C-band
and millimeter wave can
greatly improve capacity, but
the coverage is limited, and
Sub3GHz can provide good
coverage, how can we achieve
mutually reinforcing through
multi-band optimization.

5G architecture:
5G architecture includes NSA and SA, both Share the Same Ecosystem.
As the early deployment architecture of 5G, NSA focuses on the eMBB scenario, reusing the current EPC and LTE as the
anchor, which enables the quick introduction of 5G NR. Most operators choose NSA as the early deployment of 5G. SA is
the 5G target architecture, which support 5G full scenarios, 5G New Core is required to support network slicing
