Steps involved in 5G Registration Call Flow:

The UE (User Equipment) initiates the registration process after establishing an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection with the 5G network.

3️⃣ Authentication Request ??:
The AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) sends an Authentication Request message to the UE, which contains the authentication challenge.
4️⃣ Authentication Response ??:
The UE verifies the authentication challenge, calculates the response, and sends an Authentication Response message to the AMF.
5️⃣ Authentication Result ✅?:
The AMF verifies the received response, and if successful, the authentication process is considered complete.
6️⃣ Security Mode Command ?️?:
The AMF sends a Security Mode Command message to the UE to activate the NAS security context.
7️⃣ Security Mode Complete ?️✔️:
The UE sends a Security Mode Complete message to the AMF, indicating that the NAS security context has been activated.
8️⃣ Registration Accept ??:
The AMF sends a Registration Accept NAS message to the UE, which contains the GUTI (Globally Unique Temporary Identifier) and other relevant network information.
9️⃣ Registration Complete ?✅:
The UE sends a Registration Complete NAS message to the AMF, confirming the successful completion of the registration procedure.
