5G Frequencies in Mobile Network explained
5G frequencies contain a wide range of frequency bands to support various use cases and deployment scenarios. The key frequency bands used in 5G networks are,
- Low-band frequencies (in the range of 600 MHz to 2 GHz): This range provides good coverage and penetration, suitable for widespread coverage and mobility.
- Mid-band frequencies (in the range of 2 GHz to 6 GHz): This range offer a balance between coverage and capacity, suitable for urban and suburban areas.
- High-band frequencies (in the range of 24 GHz to 47 GHz): This range is also known as millimeter-wave or mmWave. It provides very high data rates and capacity, but with limited coverage and penetration.
- Unlicensed frequencies: Used in conjunction with licensed spectrum to provide additional capacity. (e.g. 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz unlicensed bands).
Frequency allocation and usage can vary significantly across different regions and countries based on the available spectrum and regulatory policies.

5G Network Slicing
5G Network Slicing means that, to divide the physical network that the operator is having, into different logical networks with different characteristics. Every logical network, is a network slice. And every network slice has different characteristics from the other network slices, so that it can serve a certain type of services accordingly. Every network function…

5G Core Network Architecture
In this post, we will learn 5G Network Architecture. The control plane in 5G network includes the AMF, the SMF, the AUSF, the UDM, and the PCF. While the user plane includes the UPF. The control plane is not including those network functions only, there are another network functions in the control plane, that will be discussed later. In…
