5G Core Network (5GC) including MEC and 5G Cybersecurity

The 5G core network (5GC) is a radical departure from 4G and earlier. This is because the applications of 5G are much wider in scope, especially with Enterprises expected to be big users of 5G. 5GC makes scaling easier by being fully Cloud-native 333 and with Control plane-User plan separation. There are also external Application Programmable interfaces (APIs) created for enterprise integration.

5G also makes extensive use of Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and Software-defined Networking (SDN).

In this training course, we will navigate through all these changes, the functions and the reasons they have evolved to this from 4G.

We will also discuss how management and provisioning are done on an end-to-end basis and how the charging of services will change with the new enterprise use cases needing higher reliability, scalability, guaranteed bandwidth and low latency and data roaming across networks.

As Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a key feature of 5G enabling low latency computing, we will discuss how MEC features in 5GC, its uses, management, benefits and challenges. Some important examples such as Cellular-Vehicle-to-Anything (C-V2X), drone control and media processing will be used to illustrate the architecture and its use 1682.

Finally, an open network like 5G will be susceptible to more attacks by different threat actors 464 than before. We will discuss the threat actors, threats and mitigations 464 from physical to cyber level for both the telecom operator and the enterprises using 5G.
