You will have to meet all of the following requirements to update your iPhone over cellular data:

Have an iPhone 12, iPhone 13 or an iPhone 14
Have iOS version 15.x or higher installed on the iPhone
Have 5G service active on the iPhone
Have Update over Cellular checked and set to ON.

If you do not meet the above requirements , then you cannot update your iPhone over a cellular connection. You will need to update your iPhone over a Wi-Fi Network or by connecting your iPhone to a computer with an internet connection.
