I want to express my warmest thanks to Prof. J. P. Shim for offering me with the possibility to join the panelist session at the AMCIS 2020, “5G Technologies: Insights, Opportunities & the Future”, 10th August 2020. Among the team of presenters with highly relevant industry updates, I had a chance to speak about 5G New Radio and core aspects.

The 5G radio access is the most advanced of the mobile communication systems up to date, and includes modern methods for operators to offer their subscribers with high data speed and low latency connectivity that outperforms any previous mobile generation with ease. In addition to the renewed actual access network architecture of 5G, there also is a set of completely new solutions developed on top of the 3GPP specifications, such as Open RAN concept by O-RAN Alliance. The 5G System also comprises of enhanced core network housing service-based architecture model. The network functions virtualization helps operators deploy advanced services such as Network Slicing and Telco Edge Cloud.
