Hi developers 😀 Join our journey into the world of the 5G Core Network! This week, we are exploring the Charging Software Design Architecture of PCF (Policy Control Function), let's check it out. The 3GPP defines the FBC(Flow-Based Charging) and QBC (QoS-Based Charging). And free5GC v3.4.1 supports FBC. How does the FBC work❓ Charging on PDU Session is achieved by FBC charging, with specific rating group/service identifier: - The rating group would be allocated by PCF during SM Policy Authorization. - Get chargingData from MongoDB collection policyData.ues.chargingData. - Allocate rating group to each charging rule. - Create new chargingData with rating group in MongoDB. - Create PCC Rule for charging with rating group, SDF template, and charging method. - Make Decision from PCC Rule to SMF. 💡 When PCF HandleDeleteSmPolicyContextRequest, the new chargingData with rating group would be deleted. 💡 CHF would use rating group from MongoDB (policyData.ues.chargingData) to calculate the usage and grant quota. ✒ Author: Andy Chen (CTFang) For the complete introduction please refer to the blog 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/gwycVGy8 #5gc hashtag #5gcore hashtag #telecommunications hashtag #5gnetworks #free5gc

Nokia has announced its decision to sell Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), a leader in submarine network technology, to the French State, represented by the Agence des participations de l'Etat (APE), with the deal expected to close by early 2025. This strategic move allows Nokia to streamline its focus on key growth areas within its Network Infrastructure portfolio, enhancing profitability and reinforcing its commitment to technological leadership. Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will retain a 20% stake in ASN to facilitate a smooth transition before completely exiting. This decision reflects Nokia’s strategic pillar of actively managing its business portfolio to optimize performance and value creation. ASN, recognized for its substantial growth and pivotal role in the expanding subsea cables market, will continue its trajectory under the stewardship of the French State. This ensures long-term investment and the maintenance of critical infrastructure, supporting ASN’s continued innovation and leadership in the industry. Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO of Nokia, expressed satisfaction with the arrangement, highlighting the natural fit of the French State as ASN’s new owner, ensuring continuity and stability. Alain Biston, President and CEO of ASN, also emphasized the positive outlook this change heralds for ASN’s future development and the sustained investment in its vertically integrated technology offerings. Bruno Le Maire, French Minister of Economy, welcomed the addition of ASN to France's portfolio, recognizing its vital position in the global market and its unique standing in Europe. This acquisition is more than a transaction—it's a strategic alignment to preserve and enhance critical industry capabilities in the European and global market. #TelecomNews #StrategicInvestment

We build, own, and operate our core network. This matters when network reliability matters! In France, our new 400G Paris-Marseille route offers triverse options and 24TB of total expected capacity per fibre pair. Zayo Europe is the first carrier with this next-generation fibre on this critical route that connects France to the world. We can turn up 100G waves there in just 5 working days! Paris - Marseille has been turbocharged with G652.d fibre, the most advanced and modern fibre type, and we have further strengthened our connectivity in France with our new Bordeaux route that ensures maximum uptime, greater network flexibility, and resiliency. When it really matters, as the world hears of another massive act of sabotage in France, it matters that your network operator builds, owns, and operates their network – like we do.

In our latest report on the global status of the #fixedwirelessaccess (FWA) market, the GSA research team shares updates about the availability of #FWA #broadband services based on #LTE and #5G; tariff structures; service portability; service speeds and device support for FWA. The research was carried out in May 2024. Highlights from this update: ** In #FWAbroadband services, GSA has identified announced service offers from 467 operators in 188 countries and territories, and launched services from 407 operators in 176 countries and territories worldwide. ** Europe and the Middle East and Africa have the highest number of operators delivering #FWAservices using LTE or 5G. ** More than 50% of tariffs for LTE FWA are based on data volume, with speed-based structures favoured by 19% of operators. The difference is less marked with #5GFWA. ** The average of the marketed maximum peak download speeds for #4G FWA was 178.6 Mbps, down from 180.5 Mbps in November 2023, based on data for 330 operators in May 2024. For 5G-based offerings, the average maximum peak download speed was 974 Mbps, down from 1,059 Mbps in November 2023 but still up from 875 Mbps in November 2022. The full data set from the global service provider research is available to GSA Associates and Members in Excel format. Download the summary report here: https://lnkd.in/eVKzzmp2 This study will be updated in December 2024.

"Direct-to-device will reshuffle all the cards for the existing telecom infrastructure and reconfigure this ecosystem." - Matthieu Chartier, Director of Starburst France — The NewSpace economy represents a shift from traditional space activities, driven by the convergence of innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment. Though vibrant and full of potential, the sector requires careful navigation and strategic collaboration among all stakeholders to transform innovations into scalable and sustainable business models. It presents unique opportunities and challenges for both new and existing players across the market: ▶️ For Space Agencies: The main challenge lies in scaling operational innovations beyond the traditional space ecosystem. Agencies need to bridge the gap between advanced research and large-scale practical applications to fully realize their potential. ▶️ For Investors: Long-term commitment is essential, as the return on investment often spans many years, though the benefits are significant and have the potential for impact. Investors should focus on structural applications, like in-orbit mobility. ▶️ For Industrial Players: The abundance of innovations requires a new approach. Industries must make strategic choices, form partnerships, and transform their working methods to avoid the risk of innovation dilution. Developing a collaborative ecosystem is vital for harnessing the full potential of technological advancements. ▶️ For Startups: Startups should adopt a dual-strategy approach, generating short-term revenue streams to sustain operations while pursuing long-term visionary goals. The sheer volume of concurrent innovations is exciting, but the industry must be cautious as many business models are still unproven. — Our European team created the Innovation Radar, a tool that analyzes the technologies and innovations that have the potential to disrupt the NewSpace industry with criteria such as customer maturity and investment flow.

For Greater Global 5G Community reach out; Last week, 3GPP's very first workshop on 6G/IMT2030 use cases, marks the official transition from 6G pre-standards technology development to #6G global standardization. With over 200 attendees joining #3GPP in person, the event was a fantastic opportunity to delve into the future of wireless technology. The workshop was divided into four insightful sessions: 🌟 Session #1: 6G drivers for Operators, featuring insights from GSMA and NGMN Alliance. 🌟 Session #2: 6G drivers for Verticals, where we heard from organizations like 5G Automotive Association (5GAA), 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA), 5G-MAG MEDIA ACTION GROUP, GSOA, TCCA-Critical Communications, and Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA). 🌟 Session #3: Building a global 6G perspective, with contributions from #B5GPC (Japan), #6GForum (Korea), #IMT2030(6G) Promotion Group (China), Bharat 6G Alliance (India), Next G Alliance (North America), and 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (Europe). 🌟 Session #4: ITU & 3GPP synergies for 6G, exploring collaboration between International Telecommunication Union and 3GPP. The journey doesn't stop here! SA1#106, set for May 27 - 31, 2024, in Jeju, Korea, will continue the discussion by inviting presentations from 3GPP Members on their views regarding 6G Use Cases and organizational aspects of the 6G requirements/use-cases study. #3GPP aiming for the approval of SA1 6G Study Item(s) by September 2024 (TSG SA#105). Additionally, a TSG-wide 6G Workshop is planned for March 10 - 11, 2025, which will initiate the study on the 6G radio interface and 6G core network architecture in RAN and SA WGs respectively. Thanks to ETSI for hosting the workshop !
