In this article, I will introduce the 5G network architecture. This article consists of three parts. The first is the overall architecture of the 5G network, showing you the tremendous change from the end-to-end of 5G technology. The second part introduces the architecture of the 5G core network. In the last part, I will briefly explain the two modes of 5G that are relatively unique. One is the non-standalone network (NSA) and the other is the standalone network (SA).

Let’s first look at the overall architecture of 5G networks. It can be said that the end-to-end 5G network has a tremendous change from devices, wireless networks, transmission networks, core networks, and business.
