They don’t work alone…
Each one plays a role in keeping us connected.
Let me explain how it works.
Master Cell Group (MCG) is the starting point.
- It’s the first connection for your device.
Then there’s the Secondary Cell Group (SCG).
- It helps the MCG manage traffic.
As per 3GPP, there are 4 types of 5G cells.
Primary Cell (PCell)
- It’s always active and maintains your connection.
Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell)
- It bridges 4G and 5G during dual connectivity.
Secondary Cell (SCell)
- SCell adds bandwidth for extra capacity.
Special Cell (SpCell)
- SpCell manages priority signals within the SCG.
5G works because every part has a purpose.
It isn’t just about one cell doing it all.
It’s about every part working together flawlessly.
Thanks for reading.
