5G Standalone Networks
In this chapter, we will understand the essentials of a standard 5G Standalone (5G SA) network’s design and deployment.
We will go through the specifics of designing a 5G SA network from scratch, as well as understand the requirements for implementing a standalone network and the use cases that can be realized with it. We will also go over the adoption of 5G SA options in private (non-public) networks and the design considerations involved.
In a nutshell, we will cover the following topics:
- Benefits of a 5G SA network and use cases
- 5G SA network design fundamentals
- Network resilience and failure design
- Network performance analysis
