Leveraging Cloud NWDAF for 5G Network Management & Performance
Introduction As 5G networks continue to roll out across the globe, network operators seek ways to manage and optimize these complex, high-capacity networks efficiently. One solution gaining traction is using the cloud Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF). The cloud NWDAF plays a key role in realizing the automation and monetization of 5G networks. What is cloud NWDAF, and how does it work? NWDAF is introduced by 3GPP to handle network analytics and provides real-time analysis and insights into network performance and behavior. It continuously monitors network data, identifying trends, patterns, and anomalies that may indicate issues or potential improvements. NWDAF can help network operators proactively troubleshoot problems and optimize network performance, improving reliability and quality of service for end users. In addition to providing real-time analytics, NWDAF can also provide data-driven recommendations for network configuration and optimization. By analyzing large am...
