The present document is an introduction to the 3GPP TS 38.47x series of technical specifications that define the F1 interface. The F1 interface provides means for interconnecting a gNB‑CU and a gNB‑DU of a gNB within an NG‑RAN, or for interconnecting a gNB‑CU and a gNB‑DU of an en‑gNB within an E‑UTRAN.
