Network Function Virtualization (NFV) in Mobile Networks
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a key technology in modern mobile networks. This technology helps improve network performance, flexibility, and efficiency.
In traditional mobile networks, network nodes are implemented using dedicated hardware appliances. This can be expensive to maintain, and challenging to scale.
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) addresses these issues by decoupling network nodes from proprietary hardware, and instead running them as software components on virtualized infrastructure.
So that network nodes that were previously implemented in dedicated hardware, are now virtualized. And they run as software instances, known as Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs).
This can improve network performance, enhance flexibility, and reduce overall costs.

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…
