This paper provides an overview of some specific control plane functionality that has developed in the 3GPP architecture, from GPRS to EPC and now the 5G core network.Innovations of the 5G control plane are considered in the areas of selecting and maintaining the control plane topology, as well as the handling of state within the network.
