In LTE and 5G-NR, signalling messages exchange are same except initial differences before UE starts with RACH procedure.
In LTE, cell synchronization happens first and then after UE starts with RACH procedure. When 5G NR would be operating in beam forming mode, UE need to detect and select the best beam before initiating the RACH procedure. This is the only difference that I know.

5G: Can someone please explain RRC connection in 5G NR ? Is there any difference in 5G NR compare to 4G LTE ?

If someone has knows about the radio connection between UE and 5G NR then please explain it.
Thanks in advance.

RACH initiation in 5g NR

38.300 says below
- Initial access from RRC_IDLE;
- RRC Connection Re-establishment procedure;
- DL or UL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED when UL synchronisation status is "non-synchronised";
- UL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED when there are no PUCCH resources for SR available;
- SR failure;
- Request by RRC upon synchronous reconfiguration (e.g. handover);
- Transition from RRC_INACTIVE;
- To establish time alignment for a secondary TAG;
- Request for Other SI (see clause 7.3);
- Beam failure recovery;
- Consistent UL LBT failure on SpCell.

Can someone explain about
DL or UL data arrival during RRC_CONNECTED when UL synchronisation status is "non-synchronised";
