4 Network Characteristics p. 10

4.1 Key characteristics of PLMN p. 10

The PLMN is fully defined in the 3GPP technical specifications. The 5G Network related key characteristics are defined in TS 23.501.

4.2 Key characteristics of IP Networks p. 10

The Internet is a conglomeration of networks utilising a common set of protocols. IP protocols are defined in the relevant IETF RFCs. The networks topologies may be based on LANs (e.g. Ethernet), Point to Point leased lines, PSTN, ISDN, X.25 or WANs using switched technology (e.g. SMDS, ATM).

4.3 Key characteristics of Ethernet p. 11

The Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in LAN and is often used to refer to all Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) LANs that generally conform to Ethernet Specifications, including IEEE 802.3 [36]. The key characteristics for Ethernet are defined in IEEE 802.3 [36].

5 Interworking Classifications p. 11

5.1 Service Interworking p. 11

Service interworking is required when the Teleservice at the calling and called terminals are different. No service interworking is specified in this specification.

5.2 Network Interworking p. 11

Network interworking is required whenever a PLMN is involved in communications with another network to provide end-to-end communications. The PLMN shall interconnect in a manner consistent with that of a normal Data Network (type defined by the requirements e.g. IP). Interworking appears exactly like that of Data Networks.

6 Reference Architecture p. 11

Figure 6-1 shows the access interfaces for the 5G Network. Figure 6-2 shows the access interfaces for the 5G and EPC interworking network.

The 5G Network includes both the 3GPP access and the non-3GPP access.

7 Interface to 5G Network services (User Plane) p. 12

The user plane for 5G Network services is defined in clause 8.3 of TS 23.501 and TS 29.281.
