GSMA Network Equipment Security Assurance Scheme (NESAS) is a set of security requirements defined for an Equipment Vendor’s Development and Product Lifecycle Processes. GSMA 5G Cybersecurity Knowledge Base The GSMA’s NESAS scheme is governed by the provisions set out in FS.14, FS.15, and FS.16, while the scope of the scheme has been restricted only to …
3GPP Architecture for 5G offers multiple connectivity options, enabling operators to deploy the network in various ways. The options range from a standalone LTE network connected to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to a non-standalone network that integrates both LTE and 5G New Radio (NR) access technologies controlled by either the EPC or the 5G …
The process of 5G-4G internetworking involves interworking between the 5GS (5G System) and EPS (Evolved Packet System) to ensure the continuity of services provided to the UE (User Equipment) while moving between the 5GC (5G Core) network and the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) network. The N26 interface between the MME (Mobility Management Entity) and the …
6G is the next-generation wireless technology that will build on the advancements of 5G and provide faster speeds, lower latency, and improved coverage. The vision for 6G is to enable new and advanced services such as immersive experiences and the Internet of Everything, through a combination of innovations in technology, spectrum, and network architecture. The …
5G networks are the latest generation of cellular technology that promise faster speeds, lower latency, and improved connectivity. One of the key differences between 5G and its predecessor, 4G, is the core network architecture. The 4G core network, known as Evolved Packet Core (EPC), is based on a “flat architecture” where few network nodes are …
The 5G core network, as defined by 3GPP, is a cloud-aligned, service-based architecture that encompasses all 5G functions and interactions such as authentication, security, session management and traffic aggregation from end devices. This architecture emphasizes the use of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) with virtualized software functions deployed using the Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) infrastructure, which …
Cisco AnyConnect is a software application provided by Cisco that allows users to connect to a virtual private network (VPN) to access secure network resources. If you are experiencing a “login failed” error when attempting to connect the Cisco AnyConnect VPN, it typically indicates that there is a problem with the login credentials you are …
The SCP (Service Communication Proxy) is a network function (NF) in the 5G Core Network (5GC) that increases the operational efficiency and reliability of the PLMN internal signaling network. The SCP provides the following benefits within a service-based architecture: SC supports a definition of multiple NF profiles that are used in the NRF registration. Supported …
The CNFs must only require “Vanilla Kubernetes” with no additional plug-ins for basic operation. The optional use of plug-ins for performance optimization is allowed to enable mission critical telecommunication services A fundamental principle of a Cloud Native Network Function (CNF) is to decompose software into smaller, more manageable pieces. This is a design pattern that …
5G networks rely on a variety of interfaces to ensure seamless communication between different network elements. Each of these interfaces has a specific function that contributes to the overall functioning of a 5G network. Understanding these interfaces is crucial for getting the most out of a 5G network and unlocking its full potential. In this …
