JPL 5G Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) Partner Validated

One of the major functions of JPL AMF is registration management in the network. A UE needs to register with the network to receive services. Once registered and if applicable, the UE updates its registration with the network for the following events:

-Periodically, to remain reachable (periodic registration update); or

-Upon mobility (mobility registration update); or

-To update its capabilities or re-negotiate protocol parameters (mobility registration update).

The Mobility Management functions are used to keep track of the current location of a UE. AMF manages the UE mobility tracking and UE reachability using mobility update and periodic registration procedures.

The JPL AMF supports multi-PLMN, storing identities of each PLMN in the list. The UEs can receive one or multiple PLMN identities in a given cell which can be used during cell re-selection and handover.
