5G specifications are ongoing, so there are new acronyms to remember.
So after the BTS (Base Transceiver Station) in 2G, the NodeB in 3G, the eNB in 4G, here comes the gNB in 5G.
Tnew radio access technology is called “NR” and replaces “LTE”, and the new base station is called gNB (or gNodeB), and replaces the eNB (or eNodeB or Evolved Node B).
| Generation | Radio Technology | Base Station Name |
|---|---|---|
| 2G | GSM | BTS (Base Transceiver Station) |
| 3G | UMTS | NodeB |
| 4G | LTE | eNB, Evolved NodeB |
| 5G | NR | gNB, G???? NodeB |
The “g” in gNB stands for “Next Generation NodeB”
