System, method, and computer program for resource orchestration in a 5G network based on user equipment behavior analystics

A method, comprising:

• collecting, by a policy control function in a 5G network, analytic information associated with past behavior of a particular user equipment in a 5G network;
• predicting, by the policy control function, future behavior of the particular user equipment in the 5G network, based on the analytic information;
• and
• generating, by the policy control function, one or more policy decisions based on the future behavior of the particular user equipment, wherein the one or more policy decisions cause an orchestration function of the 5G network to orchestrate at least one of network functions or applications within the 5G network for use by the particular user equipment including to at least one of:
• place the at least one of network functions or applications on a select one or more data centers within the 5G network for use by the particular user equipment, or
• scale the at least one of network functions or applications within the 5G network for use by the particular user equipment;
• wherein the policy control function generates policy decisions on a per user equipment basis such that the at least one of network functions or applications within the 5G network are orchestrated by the orchestration function on a per user equipment basis.

A system, comprising:

• a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory that execute the instructions to perform a method comprising:
• collecting, by a policy control function in a 5G network, analytic information associated with past behavior of a particular user equipment in a 5G network;
• predicting, by the policy control function, future behavior of the particular user equipment in the 5G network, based on the analytic information;
• and
• generating, by the policy control function, one or more policy decisions based on the future behavior of the particular user equipment, wherein the one or more policy decisions cause an orchestration function of the 5G network to orchestrate at least one of network functions or applications within the 5G network for use by the particular user equipment including to at least one of:
• place the at least one of network functions or applications on a select one or more data centers within the 5G network for use by the particular user equipment, or
• scale the at least one of network functions or applications within the 5G network for use by the particular user equipment;
• wherein the policy control function generates policy decisions on a per user equipment basis such that the at least one of network functions or applications within the 5G network are orchestrated by the orchestration function on a per user equipment basis.
