Understanding 5G core through an open-source implementation

João Paulo L. Silva (INF/UFG), Samuel Wanberg L. Nery (INF/UFG), Rogério S. e Silva (INF/UFG), Antonio Oliveira-Jr (INF/UFG & Fraunhofer Portugal AICOS), Kleber Cardoso (INF/UFG) e Cristiano B. Both (UNISINOS)

This tutorial explores 5GC internals through an open-source implementation called my5G-core. The tutorial is divided into sections, including installation and development environment setup, code overview, 5G system procedures execution, and a non-3GPP IoT use case. Each section provides videos and manuals to replicate these steps. All the procedures can be reproduced using a regular computer, e.g., a laptop (bare-metal or virtual machine), and the materials provided in this repository. my5G-core is a fork of the free5GC project and integrates the my5G initiative.

Material

• Article
• Sections
  • Installation and development environment - shows the steps required to install dependencies, download the source code, compile network functions, execute my5G-core and setup a local development environment.
    • Setting up my5G-core and development environment (tutorial 1, tutorial 2, video)
  • Code overview - presents how my5G-core source code is organized and how to debug network functions using GoLand IDE.
    • Source code organization (tutorial, video 1, video 2)
    • Code debugging (tutorial, video 1, video 2)
  • 5G system procedures - shows step-by-step execution of initial registration procedure over untrusted non-3GPP access.
    • Initial registration procedure (tutorial, video)
  • Non-3GPP IoT use-case (tutorial) - aims to demonstrate the untrusted non-3GPP access to the my5G-core using a Low Power Wide Area (LoRa/LoRaWAN) wireless network and docker containers.
