Only if you have an iPhone 12 or 13 with a 5G connection you CAN update over the 5G network.

If you need tu update see the following Apple articles:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update

You can do the update via PC, see this Apple article: Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC

If you have a Mac see this Apple article: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Finder

You need about 7 GB device storage and good Service & Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.
