Abstract:  In this webinar, we will explore the microservices-based architecture of OAI NWDAF in the 5G Core Network. We will focus on integrating 3GPP applications as microservices to enhance flexibility and scalability. We will showcase the implementation of an ML-based NWDAF service for real-world abnormal traffic detection. Demonstrating the integration with OAI 5G CN and RAN, we will highlight NWDAF’s capability in collecting and analyzing data from a live 5G network, effectively detecting abnormal traffic generated by a real UE. Join us to witness these practical applications of NWDAF in the 5G network.
