5G has demanding service and network requirements that will require a fundamental change to the core architecture. The 5G Core will be the heart of the network and acts as an anchor point for multi-access technologies. It needs to deliver a seamless service experience across fixed and wireless access technologies. 3GPP has defined a new 5G Core architecture that supports service delivery over wireless, fixed or converged networks. This new 5G Core uses a cloud-aligned Service-Based Architecture (SBA) that supports control plane function interaction, reusability, flexible connections and service discovery that spans all functions.
