SUPI UE Identifier in 5G Network
SUPI (Subscription Permanent Identifier) is a globally unique identifier for the UE in the 5G network. It is typically derived from the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) of the UE, or a similar identifier.
SUPI can be IMSI-based, or Network Access Identifier (NAI) based.
- When the UE connects to the 5G Network through 3GPP access, its identifier will be the IMSI-based SUPI. And its format will be the same as the IMSI (MCC+MNC+MSIN).
- While, when the UE connects to the 5G Network through a non-3GPP access, such as Wifi, its identifier will be Network Access Identifier based, such as ([email protected]).

IMSI, MSISDN, IMEI, P-TMSI – Mobile Identifiers
In case there is an MS that is having Dual SIM, every SIM is having its own IMSI, MSISDN, IMEI, and P-TMSI. IMSI IMSI refers to 'International Mobile Subscriber Identity', and it is a globally unique identifier for every SIM card in the world. The IMSI is the main identifier for the MS. if you…

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…
