  3. It can turn off the UE's radio when it is not in use

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

5G NR's power saving mechanisms include putting the UE into a sleep mode when it is not in use, reducing the transmit power of the UE, and turning off the UE's radio when it is not in use.

Multiple choice

What is the name of the technology that allows 5G NR UEs to connect to both 5G and 4G networks?

  1. Dual Connectivity (DC)

  2. Non-Standalone (NSA)
