FAQ's

Will 5G RAN SA architecture allow for Open Interfaces?

Traditionally RAN has been a closed architecture where the Base-band and Radio are required to be from the same manufacturer, in order to be inter-operable. 5G RAN SA architecture has decomposed the RAN into three parts, i.e. the Centralized Unit (CU), Distributed Unit (DU) and Radio Unit (RU), where 3GPP has specified the interface between DU and CU for multivendor scenarios (F1 interface). There is a massive interest in the industry to make the interfaces between these three functional units open. Notable being “ORAN Alliance” that has already specified an open fronthaul interface between the RU and the DU so that multivendor networks are enabled at all levels in the RAN. Open standardized interfaces will drive innovation in the industry and will allow multi-vendor implementations, enabling flexibility and programmability in Networks.

What is NFV in 5G SA?

The basic idea behind Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is to decouple software from hardware. With NFV, service providers can deploy various network functions, such as firewall or encryption, on virtual machines (VMs). Whenever a customer requests a new network function, service providers are able to spin up a VM for that function automatically. Leveraging this technology, network administrators do not need to invest in high-priced, proprietary hardware to set up a service chain of network-connected devices. And unlike proprietary hardware, these network functions can be installed in weeks instead of months.

What is SDN in 5G SA?

Software Defined Radio (SDN) is an intelligent, network architecture intended to minimize hardware constraints. The purpose of introducing SDN is to abstract lower level functions and move them to a normalized control plane, which manages network behavior through application program interfaces (APIs). From a software-based, centralized control plane, network administrators can provide services through the network despite the connected hardware components. With available spectrum, 5G is going to push the limits of what is achievable. This is where SDN fits into the 5G picture.
