## Overview

This repository is the source of *5G Mobile Networks: A Systems Approach*, a book for readers learning about 5G systems. The main workflow is reading its introductory material and then its chapters on architecture, radio access, disaggregation, cloud, and implementation. The tree identifies these content areas, and the sampled Sphinx configuration identifies index.rst as the master document. Chapter contents and navigation links were not sampled, so the graph does not claim a specific chapter sequence or internal links.

Main entry points: [`index.rst`](https://github.com/systemsapproach/5g/blob/master/index.rst) (Master document), [`preface.rst`](https://github.com/systemsapproach/5g/blob/master/preface.rst) (Preface), [`latest.rst`](https://github.com/systemsapproach/5g/blob/master/latest.rst) (Latest edition), [`intro.rst`](https://github.com/systemsapproach/5g/blob/master/intro.rst) (Introduction)
