Course Objectives

This course has been designed for professionals seeking to develop a solid understanding of the 5G Core Protocols and 5G Roaming Principles and Practices.

The course explains the architecture and technical concepts for the 5G core network. protocols and the signaling used in the 5G Core (5GC) network. Describes the interfaces in 5GC as well as various 5GC use case scenarios such as Connection, Registration, Mobility, and Session management in HPLMN and in VPLMN, based on the 3GPP Release 16.

  • Explain the basic conceptual network architecture and technology for the 5G Core.
  • List and explain identifiers relevant for the 5GC.
  • List the interfaces and explain the signaling, protocols and service exchange between the network functions.
  • Explain service-based interfaces.
  • Explain the main concepts of Network Slicing.
  • Explain the N1 and N2 control plane interfaces towards access networks.
  • Explain the N3 user plane interface towards access networks.
  • Explain the N4 interface between control plane and user plane.
  • Explain the Registration Procedures.
  • Explore the Service Request Procedures.
  • Examine the Session Management Procedures.
  • Identify the Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP).
  • Explain the N32 and N9 Roaming Interfaces.
