Current 5GC applications primarily face three challenges: poor traffic management tactics, limited scalability in heavy traffic loads, and inefficient resource utilization (RU). Conventional virtualization techniques do not achieve dynamic response to changing network needs. Those traditional approaches may lead to higher latency and performance constraints. We suggest the Cloud-Native Adaptive 5G Core (CA5GC) Framework, which combines AI-driven traffic management, microservice-based architectures, and containerized network operations to address these problems. To maximize resource usage, guarantee scalability, and improve intelligent traffic handling, the framework makes use of dynamic network slicing, Kubernetes-based orchestration, and machine learning-powered predictive traffic analysis. The proposed CA5GC framework facilitates real-time adaptation of 5GC resources, ensuring optimal network performance even during peak loads. By integrating intelligent traffic classification and automated orchestration, CA5GC enhances network efficiency and reduces operational costs for service providers. Significant improvements in resource efficiency, reduced network congestion, and enhanced service quality are attained by the potential of CA5GC.

The main emphasis of this work is on high-capacity communication and how MIMO and MU-MIMO technologies might enhance the performance of the 5G network. MU-MIMO expanded allows several users to access the same time-frequency resources free from interference, thereby optimizing spectrum consumption and boosting network capacity. These solutions meet the congested and dynamic conditions typical of modern urban and industrial settings by allowing flawless mobile broadband and ultrareliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The present article investigates the foundations of MIMO and MU-MIMO, how they are included into 5G new radio (NR) standards, and what part beamforming, spatial multiplexing, and channel estimation play in them. Among the subjects addressed are hardware complexity, pilot contamination, and channel state information (CSI) acquisition. Real-time inference and task scheduling in E5G-SPF are powered by machine learning for predictive analytics and reinforcement learning for dynamic resource allocation. These techniques enable adaptive decision-making and efficient task management. 5G networks use MIMO and MU-MIMO to manage the great rise in user demand and data traffic.
