You can check Derek Cheung posts, they can also help (thankfully he is still writing, so new articles will probably be added)

  • 5G Core Part 1 — Architecture Overview
    5G is certainly the loudest buzzword in the networking industry for the past few years. Many carriers announced their 5G networks in 2019 but these 5G deployments were mostly based on the 3GPP Release 15. (Read article)

Dear Experts,
Can anyone share the 5G NSA (EN DC) core side call flows and traces.

  1. Registration S6a between MME - HSS for 5G NSA
  2. Data GTP-C create session between SGW - PGW for 5G NSA
  3. Charging Gy between PGW- OCS for 5G NSA

I would like to compare the same with normal 4G to understand the difference in the core side when secondary bearer 5G NR is being added) or how do we distinguish from normal 4G and 5G NSA on the core side.
Thanks & Regards,

Jayesh
