The operators use their own dedicated spectrum in the shared area and transmit their own PLMN<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>MOCN (Multi-operator core network ) <\/strong><\/em>goes a step further; operators run their network on a common RAN and a shared pool of spectrum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, in the context of active sharing, 5G NSA poses a major challenge. In fact, launching 5G NSA with active sharing requires operators to use the same vendor in their 4G and 5G RAN\u00a0as we see in the figure below\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9984 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/new.5gworldpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5GRANSHARING.png\" alt=\"RAN Sharing\" width=\"592\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.5gworldpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5GRANSHARING.png 592w, https:\/\/new.5gworldpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5GRANSHARING-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/new.5gworldpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5GRANSHARING-150x98.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As we know 3GPP has standardised the X2 interface but the implementation is vendor proprietary.
