- Network Repository Function (NRF)
- Session Management Function (SMF)
- Unified Data Management (UDM)
- Unified Data Repository (UDR)
- User Plane Function (UPF) with 2 variants:
- Simple Implementation based on our 4G CUPS component (SPGWU-TINY)
- VPP-Based Implementation (UPF-VPP)
- Network Slicing Selection Function (NSSF)
- Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF)
- Unstructured Data Storage Function (UDSF)

This repository is a Federation of the OpenAir CN 5G repositories.
Its main purpose is for Continuous Integration scripting.
It also hosts some tutorials.
- How to do a container-based simple deployment.
- How to create a container-based developer environment.

This source code is managed through a GITLAB server, a collaborative development platform.
Process is explained in CONTRIBUTING file.
If you wish to discuss development topics, we have a weekly one-hour meeting every Tuesday at 11AM CET.
The meeting details are available through this ics file.
In a general way, anybody who is willing can contribute on any part of the code in any network component.
Contributions can be simple bugfixes, advices and remarks on the design, architecture, coding/implementation.
They are available on the CHANGELOG file.
