Deployment of 5G network can have different combination of technology i.e., NSA (Non-Stand-alone) and SA (Stand-alone), different band combinations and various number of frequency layers.Below details will be limited to NSA ENDC deployments only Multilayer Strategy Selection-different factors 1.Functionality or Performance of existing network The layering strategy maybe need to be aligned with the existing LTE network when 5G is introduced. For instance, in the early-stage coverage maybe more important than throughput. From commercial aspect the 5G symbol on the subscribers' UE maybe important.In other cases, the NR layer maybe used to offload congested LTE layers, thus pushing LTE users from a specific LTE layer to anchor layer (ENDC) or straight to NR (for SA). The choice or preference of LTE layer in certain clutter will also determine the choice of NR layer for the case of ENDC. For example, in rural area LTE 900 maybe preferred due to coverage, thus only NR layers that can be
