5G technology will be rolled out in phases between now and 2020, with different capabilities being added over time. 5G will provide benefits like higher speeds and lower latency. Network operators can choose between non-standalone and standalone deployment scenarios as 5G is integrated with existing 4G networks or replaces 4G networks. 5G will utilize multiple spectrum bands to support different needs like coverage, capacity, and IoT.

7. Non-standalone vs Standalone
Deployment Scenarios
• Leverages existing 4G deployments
• Capable of creating 5G hotspots quickly
• No overloading of EPC with 5G signaling
• New 5G applications and services creation possible
• Only option for greenfield 5G operators
• Full support for new 5G applications and services
including: eMBB, mMTC and URLCC
• Needs multiple spectrum to provide all above cases and
also to provide ubiquitous 5G coverage

8. Non-standalone vs Standalone
Deployment Scenarios
• Next Generation CN (NGCN) has replaced EPC
• 5G driven by capacity needs, rather than just
coverage
• New 5G applications and services creation possible
• In this case eNB’s are connected to NGCN with gNB
connected via eNB
• Next Generation CN (NGCN) has replaced EPC
• 5G driven by capacity needs, rather than just coverage
• New 5G applications and services creation possible
