MBS End-to-End: Operating MBS User Services, MBS 5GC, NG-RAN and UE

The written walkthrough for this end-to-end tutorial is under development. In the meantime, the video below demonstrates the full flow, and the component tutorials below cover each piece in written form.

Interim outline​

Until the full write-up is ready, you can follow the individual pieces that together make up the end-to-end flow, in this order:

  1. MBS support in the 5GC (Docker deployment): bring up the MBS-capable 5G Core.
  2. Initial support of MBS in the 5GC: create an MBS session and send multicast traffic through the core.
  3. Managing MBS Sessions and TMGIs: the MB-SMF session and TMGI operations.
  4. MBS Function (MBSF) Operation & APIs and MBS Transport Function (MBSTF) Testing: provision and deliver media over the MBS User Services layer.
