This document describes requirements for user equipment (UE) to enable their operation with OnGo Alliance private networks utilizing 5G NR Stand Alone operation in the CBRS band. In all cases, 5G NR SA is used and the network advertises the OnGo Shared Home Network Identifier (sHNI).
Currently there are over 400,000 OnGo base-stations deployed by over 1000 network owners. In order to enable broad deployment of 5G NR SA operation in the CBRS band, a level of consistent out-of-the-box operation is necessary.While such behavior is regularly exhibited for carrier networks, it is often not the case for private networks utilizing the OnGo sHNI.
To that end, consistent OnGo operation for UEs is defined in this document. The capabilities specified in the document shall support “out-of-the-box” readiness.
