Learn to build and use a 5G lab to observe end-to-end signaling between user equipment and network endpoints, and explore CnF and BNF configurations.
Explore 5g service-based architecture and signaling, with a live lab demo showing end-to-end signaling and 5g attach, pcap traces, and a hands-on introduction to release 16–17 features.
Explore the 5g service-based architecture, its network framework, and reference point notation using the lab configuration. See how core network functions connect via interfaces and how lab configurations illustrate them.
explores the 5g service-based core architecture, detailing amf, smf, upf, pcf, udm, ausf, af, nef, nsf and their service-based interfaces for lab configuration and slicing.
Explore end-to-end 5G user and control plane protocols, including the service-based interface, STP-2, UPF/SMF/AMF roles, and the layered radio and core network stacks.
Explore service based interfaces in 5g core, detailing service discovery, registry, and authorization, using rest over http to enable interactions between network functions via request–response and subscribe–notify.
Demonstrates logging end-to-end 5G traces by validating service status, starting core network and ran services, and capturing pcap files with HTTP/2, registration, and authentication messages.
