5G Fundamentals
The 5G Standalone architecture consists of two major domains. The NG-RAN deploys gNBs that provide the 5G NR air interface. The 5G Core is built on a cloud-native Service-Based Architecture where every network function exposes its capabilities through HTTP/2 RESTful APIs on a common service bus. This is a paradigm shift from the Diameter and GTP-C point-to-point interfaces used in the 4G EPC. The SBA model enables independent scaling, automated lifecycle management, and the kind of microservices deployment patterns borrowed from hyperscale cloud providers.
Try these first, even if you're not sure. Guessing primes your brain.
Building a 5G core from scratch, would you pick custom telecom protocols or web-style APIs?
Why split one core box into a control function and a separate user-data function?
Dozens of core functions need to find each other. Why use a registry?
