Edge Computing in 5G Network
Edge computing is a key enabler in 5G networks. It brings computing and storage resources closer to the users and devices at the edge of the network.
This technology reduces the physical distance between the UE and the servers this UE connects with, which,
- Lowers the latency between the UE and the servers.
- Reduces the congestion in the network, as less network links will be used between the UE and the servers.
- Improves the reliabilityof communication between the UE and the servers.
To enable edge computing in 5G networks, mobile network operators are deploying specialized infrastructure, such as micro data centres, at strategic locations within the network. These data centres are then integrated with the 5G network architecture to provide the desired low latency, high bandwidth, and distributed processing capabilities.

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…
