MOCN Configuration & Optimization

Configure and optimize Multi-Operator Core Network sharing for both 5G NR and LTE — what's shared vs separate, the Samsung features, the 7-phase plan, PRB sharing and per-PLMN CAC. Two full deep-dives sit behind this day.

◎

Day objective — stand up and optimize a shared-RAN MOCN cell for 5G and LTE, with correct PLMN broadcast, PRB sharing and per-PLMN mobility. Pick a sub-topic on the left — the ones marked › open a full deep-dive page.

5.1

MOCN Concept

The dividing line that makes MOCN work — exactly what operators share at the radio and what each keeps separate in their own core — and how MOCN differs from MORAN.

Shared RAN + dual-PLMN SIB1 → separate operator coresMOCN

shared radio separate cores

Shared — site, gNB / eNB hardware, spectrum carrier, SIB1 (both PLMNs broadcast)
Separate per operator — AMF / MME, SMF / UPF (user plane), UDM / AUSF (subscriber DB)
MOCN vs MORAN — shared carrier vs dedicated carrier

5G NR MOCN

The three Samsung NR MOCN features, the ordered 7-phase build plan, and the PRB-sharing / per-PLMN CAC controls — plus the counters, KPIs and common problems.

LTE MOCN

The LTE side — four features, the same 7-phase discipline, the Full / Strict / Partial / Adaptive sharing models, MORAN dedicated carriers, and how LTE compares to 5G MOCN.
