In LTE, if DSS feature is activated, then can 5G operate in both NSA or SA?

LTE will be NSA.

Yes, it can operate in both NSA & SA hybrid mode.

Hello @Kaleem, can you tell us how?

Hi Singh,

Apologies for late reply…

As of gNb networking mode, it is possible to set SA_NSA mode and it has no mutual exclusivity with DSS ( spectrum sharing ).

Toward Core, gNB is connected to both EPC and 5G core. Some simple illustration for connectivity and networking are here attached.
