The two user plane core components are the SGWU and PGWU/UPF. The user plane carries user data packets between the eNB/ NSA gNB (5G NSA basestations) and the external WAN. The final element of the control plane is the PCRF, which sits in-between the PGWC/SMF and the HSS, and handles charging and enforces subscriber policies. All the eNBs in the mobile network (4G basestations) connect to the MME. It links to the HSS, which generates SIM authentication vectors and holds the subscriber profile and also to the SGWC and PGWC/SMF, which are the control planes of the gateway servers. It primarily manages sessions, mobility, paging and bearers. The MME is the main control plane hub of the core. These are physically separated in Open5GS as CUPS (control/ user plane separation) is implemented. The core has two main planes: the control plane and the user plane.

PGWU/UPF - Packet Gateway User Plane / (component contained in Open5GS UPF).

PGWC/SMF - Packet Gateway Control Plane / (component contained in Open5GS SMF).

PCRF - Policy and Charging Rules Function.

The Open5GS 4G/ 5G NSA Core contains the following components: If you know what each of these do already and how they interface with each other, skip to section 2.

TL DR: Open5GS contains a series of software components and network functions that implement the 4G/ 5G NSA and 5G SA core functions. Before we get started, weвЂ™ll spend a moment to understand the basic architecture of the software.

Welcome! If you want to set up your first Open5GS core you have come to the right place.
