5G Standalone (SA) (5G SA) is a 5G network architecture in which both the Radio Access Network (RAN) and the core network use 5G technologies without relying on existing 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) core infrastructure. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics 5G SA operates with a 5G New Radio (NR) access network connected to a 5G Core Network (5GC) defined by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications. It uses a cloud-native, Service-Based Architecture
