    5. L2/L3 Key Technology The AIO Smallcell support the essential control and data channel functionality of the 3GPP 5G Radio Access Network (RAN). The 5G NR solution enables the following use cases. 1) Non-Standalone modes of deployment. 2) High performance, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) 3) mmWave, beamforming 4) Network slicing Following are the main components of the Central Unit (CU)
  • Page 15 o F1 User Plane Protocol (NRUP) AIO Smallcell provides L2 and L3 protocol stacks and application software. The 5G NR gNB implements the CU and DU split through the F1 interface, and the CU split into CU-Control plane (CP) and CU-User plane (UP) through the E1 interface. The following figure describes the gNB control place stack architecture.
