Access and Mobility Management Function

AMF

One of the control plane network functions of the 5G core network. It is an evolution of the 4G MME that handles connection and management of mobility tasks. As the AMF performs the role of the access point to the 5G core, terminating the RAN control plane and UE traffic originating on the N1 or N2 reference interfaces, it is responsible for NAS ciphering and integrity protection algorithms.
