5G Core functions

[Caio Roscelly]

Hi there,

I am studying Network Slicing for 5G networks and I am searching for tools where I can simulate 5G core functions (NACF, SMF, UPF, AMF, PCF, etc). 

I am studying 5G-LENA and, as far as I know, this tool was designed to simulate 5G New Radio (and not 5G Core), so my question is: Is there any work in progress where I can somehow simulate core functions inside NS-3 using 5G-LENA?

The main point for me is, in order to simulate Network Slicing scenarios I have to simulate slicing on RAN and slicing on core. 5G-LENA can help me a lot with RAN simulation, but what about core? If 5G-LENA does not have this capability, is there any person here who knows an open-source simulator that can assist me in 5G core simulation?

Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,

use open5gs that is based on the 5g core.
