Control and User Plane Separation
of EPC nodes (CUPS) in 3GPP
Release-14,
CUPS forms the basis of EPC architecture
evolution for Service-Based Architecture for
5G network.
Overall 5GArchitecture
5G system (5GS)
Unlike Previous Generation Core Network of 5G is
design to work seamlessly with more than one access
technology.
The 5G System (SGS) includes the 5G Core Network
(CN), the 5G Access Network (AN) and the User
Equipment (UE).
The 5G Core Network provides connectivity to the
internet and to application servers.
The 5G Access Network can be a 3GPP Next
Generation Radio Access Network (NG RAN), or a
non-3GPP Access Network.

Concept of Reference Point system architecture
Point to point
Interface
Point to point
Interface
3GPP has specified both 'Reference Point' and
'Service based' architectures for the 5G System
(SGS).
The 'Reference Point' architecture is based upon a set of
Network Elements (NE) which use point-to-point
interfaces to inter-connect those Network Elements.
Signalling procedures are specified for each point-to-
point interface.
The 'Reference Point' architecture can lead to repetition
within the specifications if the same signalling procedure
is used across multiple interfaces
Concept of Service based system architecture
Network function 1 Network function 2 Network function 3
Common Bus
Service 'A'
Service ‘B'
Service ‘C'
Service ‘D'
Service ‘E'
Service ‘F'
The 'Service based' architecture replaces the set of
Network Elements with a set of Network Functions
(NF).
Each Network Function can provide services to other
Network Functions, i.e. each Network Function is a
service provider.
This type of architecture is service based architecture.
The point-to-point interfaces are replaced by a
common bus which inter- connects all Network
Functions.
Services are specified for the Network Function
providing them, rather than for each pair of
providing and consuming Network Functions

roaming scenario.
•NG16: Reference point between two SMFs, (in roaming case between V-SMF and the H-SMF).
SERVICE BASED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The 5G System Service Based architecture specifies a
set of Network Functions (NF) and a common bus
which inter-connects those Network Functions.
The Service Based architecture is applicable to the
control plane section of the 5G Core Network.
The Reference Point architecture remains for the user
plane section of the 5G Core Network.

User Plane Function(UPF)
The User Plane Function (UPF) is
responsible for routing and forward user
plane packets between the Base Station
and the external Data Network
The UPF is responsible for tracking the volume of data transferred by
each PDU Session and reporting this information to the SMF. The SMF
provides these reports to the charging system for billing purposes
The UPF acts as an anchor point for mobility procedures which do not
involve a change of UPF. In general, the majority of handovers will
not require the UPF to be changed. In these cases, the data path is
simply switched from the source Base Station to the target Base
Station

function within the 5G Core Network. The primary responsibilities of the AMF
include:
Registration Management- Registration Management allows a UE to register
and deregister with the 5G System, A UE must complete the registration
procedure to receive authorization to use SG services.
Reachability Management- Reachability Management is used to ensure that a
UE is always reachable.
Connection Management- Connection Management is used to establish and
release the conitrol plane signalling connection between the UE and the AMF,
i.e.across the N1interface

Network Slice Selection Function(NSSF)
Network Slice Selection Function(NSSF)
The Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) is a control
plane function within the 5G Core Network. The NSSF is
connected to the Access and Mobility Management
Function (AMF) using the N22 Reference Point. The AMF
can request the NSSF to complete Network Slice
selection during the UE Registration procedure.
A single Network Slice is identified by its Single Network
Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI). A set
of one or more Network Slices is identified by its
Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI).
The AMF can provide the NSSF with the
following information: Subscribed S-
NSSAI, with an indication of any default S-
NSSAI.

Network Exposure Function(NEF)
Network Exposure Function(NEF)
The NEF is able to provide information regarding the capability of
Network Functions within the 5G System to external Network
Functions, i.e. it is able to expose certain network capabilities. For
example, the NEF is able to expose the network monitoring
capability. This allows extemal Network Functions to subscribe to
the reporting of specific events.
Network Functions within the SG System are able to report specific
events to the NEF. The NEF can then provide reports of those
events to other Network Functions.
Example events include:
•loss of connectivity for a specific UE - reported by theAMF
•location information for a specific UE - reported by theAMF
•A change in the relationship between Subscription Permanent
Identifier (SUPI) and Permanent Equipment Identifier (PEI),i.e. an
end-user moves a USIM from one device to another - reported by
the UDM
•Roaming status for a specific UE - reported by the UDM

Network Repository Function
(NRF)
Network Repository Function(NRF)
The Network Function Repository Function (NRF)
plays a central role within the Service Based
architecture. Network Functions register the services
they offer with the NRF. They then use the NRF as a
database to discover the services offered by other
Network Functions.
Network Functions are expected to complete the
Service Registration procedure when they first
become active in the network. Network Functions
provide a list of their services in addition to their
Network Function type and contact details, i.e. an
IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN).

Unified Data Repository(UDR)
Unified Data Repository(UDR)
The Unified Data Repository (UDR) is used to store
data belonging to the Unified Data Management
(UDM) Network Function, Policy Control Function
(PCF) and Network Exposure Function (NEF), i.e. the
UDR is able to store:
•Subscription data which can be retrieved by a UDM
•Policy data which can be retrieved by a PCF
•Structured data which can be retrieved and exposed
by an NEF
Unified Data Management(UDM)
The Unified Data Management (UDM) is a control plane
function within the 5G Core Network. It is similar to the
Home Subscriber Server (HSS) within the 4G Evolved
Packet Core (EPC).
The UDM manages subscriber data and may also store
subscriber data. The subscriber data can be stored
locally within a UDM. or it can be stored within a Unified
Data Repository (UDR). The latter solution allows multiple
UDM to access the subscriber data from a central
storage location
The Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) is managed
by the UDM. 3GPP devices use their International Mobile
Subscriber Identity (IMSI) as the SUPI. Non-3GPP
devices can use their Network Access Identifier (NAI) as
the SUPI.

Authentication Server Function(AUSF)
Authentication Server Function(AUSF)
• Its primary function is to support both subscriber and
network authentication,
• i.e. the network verifies that the UE is a genuine
authorized subscriber, while the UE verifies that the
network is genuine.
• The Authentication procedure is completed between
the UE and the AUSF. However, the AUSF cannot
communicate directly with the UE. The AMF isused to
relay information between the UE and AUSF.

Policy Control Function(PCF)
The Policy Control Function (PCF) is a control plane
function within the 5G Core Network. It is responsible
for providing policies associated with mobility
management and policies associated with session
management.
Mobility management policies can impact UE mobility in
both RRC Idle and RRC Connected modes.
Session Management polices impact the Quality of
Service (QoS) offered by a PDU Session. Session
Management polices also offer a mechanism to
manage subscriber spending limits.

Application Function (AF)
Application Function (AF)
The Application Function (AF) is a control plane function within
the 5G Core Network. The Application Function acts as an
application server providing support for specific services. For
example, there could be an Application Function for a video
streaming service.
Application Functions with direct access to the 5G Core Network are
connected to the PCF using the N5 Reference Point. If an
Application Function does not have direct access to the 5G Core
Network then it can use the Network Exposure Function (NEF) to
provide connectivity. 3rd party Application Functions may be
untrusted and be required to use the NEF.
Application Functions are able to influence User Plane Function
(UPF) selection and also traffic routing towards specific Data
Networks. Application Functions send requests to the PCF. The
PCF can translate those requests into policies for specific PDU
Sessions. The policies arc subsequently provided to the Session
Management Function (SMF).

Why the Split ?
Split helps to virtualize the network
functionalities Virtualization usually mean
flexibility and cost reduction. With this kind of
split, we can think of a RAN implementation as
illustrated below. At least as of now, it would be
difficult to virtualize the lower layer of
gNB(PHY/MAC/RLC), but you would be able to
put higher layer protocol stack (PDCP and
above) into a open hardware and software-
based protocol stack.

  • 17. 3GPP has specified both 'Reference Point' and 'Service based' architectures for the 5G System (SGS). The 'Reference Point' architecture is based upon a set of Network Elements (NE) which use point-to-point interfaces to inter-connect those Network Elements. Signalling procedures are specified for each point-to- point interface. The 'Reference Point' architecture can lead to repetition within the specifications if the same signalling procedure is used across multiple interfaces

  • 19. The 'Service based' architecture replaces the set of Network Elements with a set of Network Functions (NF). Each Network Function can provide services to other Network Functions, i.e. each Network Function is a service provider. This type of architecture is service based architecture. The point-to-point interfaces are replaced by a common bus which inter- connects all Network Functions. Services are specified for the Network Function providing them, rather than for each pair of providing and consuming Network Functions Concept of Service based system architecture

  • 34. Network Exposure Function(NEF) The NEF is able to provide information regarding the capability of Network Functions within the 5G System to external Network Functions, i.e. it is able to expose certain network capabilities. For example, the NEF is able to expose the network monitoring capability. This allows extemal Network Functions to subscribe to the reporting of specific events. Network Functions within the SG System are able to report specific events to the NEF. The NEF can then provide reports of those events to other Network Functions. Example events include: •loss of connectivity for a specific UE - reported by theAMF •location information for a specific UE - reported by theAMF •A change in the relationship between Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) and Permanent Equipment Identifier (PEI),i.e. an end-user moves a USIM from one device to another - reported by the UDM •Roaming status for a specific UE - reported by the UDM

  • 38. Unified Data Repository(UDR) The Unified Data Repository (UDR) is used to store data belonging to the Unified Data Management (UDM) Network Function, Policy Control Function (PCF) and Network Exposure Function (NEF), i.e. the UDR is able to store: •Subscription data which can be retrieved by a UDM •Policy data which can be retrieved by a PCF •Structured data which can be retrieved and exposed by an NEF
  • 39. Unified Data Management(UDM) The Unified Data Management (UDM) is a control plane function within the 5G Core Network. It is similar to the Home Subscriber Server (HSS) within the 4G Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The UDM manages subscriber data and may also store subscriber data. The subscriber data can be stored locally within a UDM. or it can be stored within a Unified Data Repository (UDR). The latter solution allows multiple UDM to access the subscriber data from a central storage location The Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) is managed by the UDM. 3GPP devices use their International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) as the SUPI. Non-3GPP devices can use their Network Access Identifier (NAI) as the SUPI.

  • 45. Application Function (AF) The Application Function (AF) is a control plane function within the 5G Core Network. The Application Function acts as an application server providing support for specific services. For example, there could be an Application Function for a video streaming service. Application Functions with direct access to the 5G Core Network are connected to the PCF using the N5 Reference Point. If an Application Function does not have direct access to the 5G Core Network then it can use the Network Exposure Function (NEF) to provide connectivity. 3rd party Application Functions may be untrusted and be required to use the NEF. Application Functions are able to influence User Plane Function (UPF) selection and also traffic routing towards specific Data Networks. Application Functions send requests to the PCF. The PCF can translate those requests into policies for specific PDU Sessions. The policies arc subsequently provided to the Session Management Function (SMF).

With this kind of split, we can think of a RAN implementation as illustrated below. At least as of now, it would be difficult to virtualize the lower layer of gNB(PHY/MAC/RLC), but you would be able to put higher layer protocol stack (PDCP and above) into a open hardware and software- based protocol stack.
