According to 3GPP specifications, which of the following is not an RRC state in 5G?
Answer : D
According to 3GPP specifications, the RRC states in 5G are RRCIDLE, RRCACTIVE, and RRCCONNECTED. RRCINACTIVE is not an RRC state defined in 3GPP specifications. RRCIDLE is the state when the UE is not attached to an eNB and is not actively monitoring for paging. RRCACTIVE is the state when the UE is attached to an eNB and is actively monitoring for paging. RRCCONNECTED is the state when the UE has an established RRC connection with an eNB.
The RRC is a protocol that controls the radio resources of the mobile device in a cellular network. 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) has defined several RRC states for 5G NR (New Radio) to manage the radio resources of the mobile device. These states are:
1. RRC_IDLE: The mobile device is not connected to any cell and is not actively searching for a cell to connect to. B. RRC_ACTIVE: The mobile device is connected to a cell and is actively communicating with it. C. RRC_CONNECTED: The mobile device is connected to a cell, but it's not actively communicating with it. It is in a low power state and is only listening to the paging channel for incoming calls or data.
So, the correct answer is D. RRC_INACTIVE, is not an RRC state in 5G according to 3GPP specifications. It's worth noting that the RRC state of the mobile device can change dynamically based on the network conditions, service requirements, and the mobile device's power management.
E2E network device update is required for the evolution from 5G NSA networking to SA networking.
Answer : A
End-to-end (E2E) network device update is required for the evolution from 5G Non-Stand-Alone (NSA) networking to Stand-Alone (SA) networking. In 5G NSA networking, the control plane functions are handled by the 4G LTE network, while the user plane functions are handled by the 5G NR network. In contrast, in 5G SA networking, the control plane and user plane functions are handled by the 5G NR network alone. So, to evolve from 5G NSA to 5G SA, all the network devices including Radio Access Network (RAN), Core Network (CN) and Transport Network (TN) need to be updated with 5G SA capable software and hardware.
It is important to note that 5G SA provides more flexibility, control and autonomy for network operation and management, However, it also requires a higher level of complexity and more resources to operate.
On an NSA network, the eNodeB immediately triggers the SgNB addition procedure after a UE attaches to the LTE network. If the SgNB addition fails, the eNodeB attempts to add the SgNB again until it is successful.
Answer : A
On an NSA network, the eNodeB immediately triggers the SgNB addition procedure after a UE attaches to the LTE network. If the SgNB addition fails, the eNodeB attempts to add the SgNB again until it is successful. The eNodeB may also trigger an SgNB addition procedure if it detects a change in its coverage area or if it detects a new SgNB or an SgNB that has been moved.
The mmWave range is new for NR. It supports the largest bandwidth in a cell but has poor coverage capabilities. It requires high performance from RF components and generally applies only to line of sight (LOS) coverage.
Answer : A
The mmWave range is a new spectrum range for 5G NR, and it supports the largest bandwidth in a cell. However, it has poor coverage capabilities, as it requires high performance from RF components and generally applies only to line of sight (LOS) coverage. This makes it challenging to use in many applications, as it requires careful planning and implementation in order to ensure effective coverage.

The millimeter wave (mmWave) range is new for 5G NR (New Radio). It supports the largest bandwidth in a cell but has poor coverage capabilities. It requires high performance from RF components and generally applies only to line of sight (LOS) coverage.
The mmWave range is considered to be the higher frequency range of the 5G spectrum and it includes frequencies above 24GHz, such as 28GHz, 38GHz and 60GHz. These frequencies offer a large amount of bandwidth, which is necessary to support high-data rate services, such as ultra-high-definition video streaming, virtual reality, and the internet of things.
However, the mmWave range has poor coverage capabilities because the signals are easily blocked by obstacles such as buildings and trees, and they also have a shorter propagation distance than lower frequency bands. Therefore, mmWave range is generally used for high-density urban areas, and indoor environments.
Additionally, RF components for mmWave have to meet high performance requirements, such as high linearity, high gain and high power handling capability. Also, the mmWave signals are highly sensitive to the presence or absence of a clear line of sight (LOS) between the transmitter and the receiver, which makes it less reliable for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) coverage.
Which of the following 5G massive MIMO scenarios is more suitable for high rise office building coverage?
Answer : C
H110V6 refers to a scenario where there are 110 horizontal and 6 vertical antenna elements installed on the gNodeB, which is ideal for providing coverage in high-rise office buildings. The high number of horizontal antenna elements allows for high-density deployment, which can improve the coverage and capacity of the network in these types of environments.
'H110V6 can be used to cover high-rise buildings, such as office buildings and hotels, which have complex indoor environments. The high number of horizontal antenna elements can provide strong coverage and capacity.' in Huawei official website.
Which type of information about NR cells is carried in the neighboring NR cell MRs reported by UEs? (Choose all that Apply)
Answer : A, C
1. RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) is the power level of the reference signals received from the cell, it is used to measure the strength of the signal from the cell, and it is an important parameter for cell selection and handover decisions. C. PCI (Physical Cell Identity) is a unique identifier assigned to each cell in the network, it is used to identify the cell and its system information.
gNodeBs periodically send TPC commands to UEs over PDCCHs to control the transmit power of which of the following uplink channels or signals of UEs? (Choose All that Apply)

According to Huawei's official documentation, gNodeBs send TPC (Transmit Power Control) commands to UEs over PDCCHs to control the transmit power of PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) and PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel).
