The distinguished engineer and editor Sasha Sirotkin has included numerous works written by industry insiders with state of the art research at their disposal. The book explains the relevant standards and technologies from an academic perspective, but also explains why particular standards decisions were made and how a variety of NG-RAN architecture options could be deployed in real-life networks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll major standards and technologies associated with the NG-RAN architecture are discussed in this book, including 3GPP, O-RAN, Small Cell Forum, IEEE, and IETF. Readers will learn about how a re-design of the RAN architecture would ensure that 5G networks can deliver their promised throughput and low latency KPIs consistently and sustainably. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured as follows: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of the market drivers of the NG-RAN architecture, like spectrum models, 5G-relevant regulatory considerations, and 5G radio interface technical requirements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of the 5G System, from the core network, to the RAN, to the radio interface protocols and physical layer, with emphasis on how these are different compared to 4G\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelease-15 RAN architectures defined in 3GPP, O-RAN, and Small Cell Forum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRAN architecture evolution in Release-16 and Release-17\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnabling technologies, like virtualization, open source technologies, multi-access edge (MEC) computing, and operations, administration, and management (OAM)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNG-RAN deployment considerations, objectives, and challenges, like costs, spectrum and radio propagation considerations, and coverage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerfect for network designers and operators who require a solid understanding of the NG-RAN architecture, \u003ci\u003e5G Radio Access Network Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e also belongs on the bookshelves of network engineers who aim to increase their understanding of the standards and technologies relevant to the NG-RAN architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSASHA SIROTKIN\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior engineer with 20 years of experience in telecommunications, international standardization, IP, machine learning, real-time systems, and open source technologies.
