Core Network Functions are explored, including their overall purpose, their specific role within the SBA, and the features / services that they support. This is followed by a comprehensive survey of the 5G Core and SBA supporting protocols and technologies, as well as a thorough examination of the Service Based Interface (SBI) and Service APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Example procedures then allow us to build a comprehensive picture of the relevant techniques and features, and to make sense of the way in which the SBA is consistent with, and supports, key 5G enabling principles - including virtualisation and network slicing. Finally, security on the SBI is explored, highlighting the new network functions and techniques that have been introduced with 5G to provide new security features (including the roaming scenario), and a more secure core network domain.
This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
This course is designed for those involved in the design, deployment and development of the 5G Service Based Architecture and the 5G Core.
This is a technical course, so experience or knowledge of the 5G system from a technical perspective would be an advantage.
