5G: Compare to LTE interfaces, why 5G network interface name start with N* ?

+1 vote

In LTE network, there is no pattern for interface name such as X2, S1-AP, S11, S5/S8, Gx etc. But for the 5G network, it starts alphabet Nx where x denotes 1, 2, 3 as numeric. I could not get the logic behind this doing so. It may be some specific reason for that.
If anyone knows about the reason, please share. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I guess In 5G NR means new radio so N denotes New

5G: Is it necessary to support LTE interfaces at next generation core network (NGCN) ?

I was going through deployment options 4A and 7, in which LTE eNodeB interacts with NGCN for control plane and user plane.
I am thinking the scenarios that when an operator would require particular option 7 in which eNodeB control and user plane both ends interface towards NGCN ? If this is the case then S1-AP and NG-AP both protocols will have to implement at next generation core network.
Is my understanding of option 7 is correct ?

5G: How network registration is different in 5G core compare to LTE core ?

In LTE network, UE registers with network using attach procedure. MME supports couple of states such as EMM-REGISTERED, EMM-DEREGISTERED to maintain the status of UE registration. I want to know that how network registration is being implemented at 5G core ? Is it as same as LTE network EMM states ?
