As the planned successor to the 4G networks, 5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, which has been deployed worldwide from 2019 to achieve rapid speed, low latency, massive connection, wide coverage and flexible deployment. By now, there are many successful 5G commercial cases in the world.
The difference between 4G architecture and 5G architecture
Compared to the architecture of 4G, 5G has these features in general (as below figure).
1. The introduction of edge computing to deploy service anchors and computing capabilities to mobile edge nodes.
2. The split architecture of CU/DU is introduced in 5G RAN. The CU is placed in the center or aggregation point of the county, saving the number of data centers and reducing costs.
3. The introduction of network slicing in 5GC (5G core network) to achieve on-demand customization of services and networks to meet the diverse vertical industry needs in the 5G era. 4G architecture vs 5G architecture
Advantages of 5G over 4G
Based on the evolution of architecture, 5G has these advantages:
· Flexible frame structure
· Wide bandwidths
· Massive MIMO & Beamforming
