  1. Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)

  2. Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC)

  3. Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

5G NR supports a wide range of applications, including Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) for high-speed data services, Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) for connecting a large number of devices, and Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) for applications requiring real-time responsiveness.

What is the name of the new air interface introduced in 5G NR?

  1. NR-U

  2. NR-NSA

  3. NR-DC

  4. NR-FR1


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
