Learn how a UE is identified to be “5G NR capable” via an LTE base station and is informed where to search for a 5G NR base station (gNB) signal. Without an LTE connection, there is no 5G NR connection possible. This video explains why a UE (supporting LTE and 5G NR) in 5G NR non-standalone mode always requires an LTE connection as anchor.

The video demonstrates how to generate the uplink portion of a 5G NR TDD signal. The video demonstrates how to generate the uplink portion of a 5G NR TDD signal. The 5G NR signal uses a subcarrier spacing of 120 kHz by applying a periodicity of 1.25 ms and is generated with the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator. How to generate and analyze 5G NR TDD signals?
Traditionally, selected frequency bands would be cleared from LTE to be deployed by 5G NR. To avoid the high costs associated with this option, 5G NR added dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) that enables to share the same frequency band with LTE.
