IoT in Mobile Networks
IoT refers to "Internet of Things". IoT devices are the devices that are connected to their platforms through the internet, in order to send data to those platforms to be analysed, and to be managed by those platforms.
Connecting IoT devices to their platform through a mobile network is having several benefits,
- Mobile networks have developed specialized technologies, such as NB-IoT and LTE-M, which enable low-power, long-range, and cost-effective connectivity for IoT applications.
- Mobile Networks can provide robust authentication mechanisms, secure data transmission protocols, and end-to-end encryption between IoT devices and their platform.

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 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…

LTE (4G) Network Architecture
LTE (4G) Network Nodes LTE refers to 'Long Term Evolution', and the architecture of the LTE (4G) network is as following, eNodeB The eNodeB is the 4G site that the UE connects to. It provides the radio interface to the UE. MME MME refers to 'Mobility Management Entity'. The MME is responsible for authenticating the…
