LTE support for 5G dual connectivity will enable 4G network operators to introduce 5G services with a minimal upgrade to support 5G data plane. This is achieved with the support for 4G eNB and 5G gNB dual connectivity (EN-DC).
As 5G gains momentum, the networks will transition to an end-to-end 5G solution with UEs registering with the 5G Core Network. The 5G standalone access registration signaling flow is similar to the 4G attach and default bearer establishment flow.
The 5G air interface that scales from cellular to the mm-wave bands.
The 5G specifications have been published as the 3GPP 38 series. Here we look at the physical layer specifications.

5G AN uses LDPC for channel coding on the traffic channel. LDPC corrects channel errors by maintaining parity bits for a selection of the data bits.
5G networks will move towards centralizing the radio function using an eCPRI based fronthaul.
5G specifications are extending the reach of mobile communication by supporting frequency bands up to 100 GHz.
