Abstract
Mobile networks have evolved a lot in recent years, moving from 2G to 5G. This transition is marked in Africa by a delay compared to the West, especially for 4G. Today, developed countries have deployed 5G either in standalone mode or in non-standalone mode. This deployment allows huge technological advances even if the networks are more and more massive. In this context, SDR (Software-Defined Radio) coupled with SDN (Software-Defined Networking), for the control of deployed equipment, are a major asset to ensure performance and quality of service. Our paper is positioned to help African countries avoid a delay with 5G. To achieve this, we propose an architecture and deployment of 5G in non-standard mode for developing African countries where 4G deployment is in its final stages. This transition from 4G to 5G will be based on SDR technology for a better management of the radio part with a lower cost deployment.
