AMF in 5G Network
AMF stands for "Access and Mobility Management Function". It is a key component of the 5G Core Network (5GC).
It handles the registration of the 5G user equipment (UE) to the 5G network. It authenticates the UE and authorises its access to the 5G services.
In addition, it tracks the location of the UE and manages its mobility within the 5G network.
The AMF communicates with various other 5G network functions, such as the Session Management Function (SMF), and the Unified Data Management (UDM), in order to perform its functions.

5G Core Network Architecture
In this post, we will learn 5G Network Architecture. The control plane in 5G network includes the AMF, the SMF, the AUSF, the UDM, and the PCF. While the user plane includes the UPF. The control plane is not including those network functions only, there are another network functions in the control plane, that will be discussed later. In…

What is 5G CUPS in 5G Network ?
In this post we will learn what is 5G CUPS. CUPS refers to "control plane and user plane separation". 5G CUPS means that the 5G network is separated into "control plane" and "user plane". In order to understand CUPS, first we should know that in order for the UE to be able to exchange user…

5G Network Slicing
5G Network Slicing means that, to divide the physical network that the operator is having, into different logical networks with different characteristics. Every logical network, is a network slice. And every network slice has different characteristics from the other network slices, so that it can serve a certain type of services accordingly. Every network function…
