4G and 5G network functions
Core On-Demand approach substantially simplifies the deployment and management of private wireless networks through the consolidation of essential 3GPP network functionality into a Core On-Demand instance.
Core On-Demand – Telco functions and interfaces
This encapsulation includes essential functions such as:
-
Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)
-
Session Management Function (SMF)
-
Mobility Management Entity (MME)
-
Serving Gateway Control Plane (SGW-C)
-
Packet Data Network Gateway Control Plane (PGW-C)
-
Unified Data Management (UDM)
-
User Plane Function (UPF)
-
Serving Gateway User Plane (SGW-U)
-
Packet Data Network Gateway User Plane (PGW-U)
-
Network Repository Function (NRF)
-
Home Subscriber Server (HSS)
-
Authentication Server Function (AUSF)
Core On-Demand handles the complex architectural details of 4G and 5G core networks so users can configure and manage them with ease. Core On-Demand achieves this by combining the network functionality and exposing only the essential configuration parameters and interfaces required for supporting private wireless access use cases.
The exposed Core On-Demand instance configuration parameters are consumed by the Core On-Demand instance applications to internally configure all encapsulated 3GPP core network functionality.
