Unified radio access network (RAN)/multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform

A unified radio access network (RAN) and multi-edge computing (MEC) platform, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• determine, based on application identifiers associated with applications accessible by a first user device and a second user device, that a first packet, associated with a first packet flow, and a second packet, associated with a second packet flow, are destined for a low-latency application, wherein the first packet flow is associated with the first user device and the second packet flow is associated with the second user device;
• identify a first low-latency bearer and a second low-latency bearer configured to satisfy a specified latency range associated with a low-latency application,
• wherein the first low-latency bearer is between the first user device, the unified RAN and MEC platform, and a base station, and
• wherein the second low-latency bearer is between the second user device, the unified RAN and MEC platform, and the base station;
• communicate first packets, associated with the first packet flow, using the first low-latency bearer,
• wherein the first packets are communicated between an entity hosting the low-latency application and the first user device, while bypassing a core network;
• and
• communicate second packets, associated with the second packet flow, using the second low-latency bearer,
• wherein the second packets are communicated between the entity hosting the low-latency application and the second user device, while bypassing the core network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a unified radio access network (RAN) and multi-edge computing (MEC) platform, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine, based on application identifiers associated with applications accessible by a first user device and a second user device, that a first packet, associated with a first packet flow, and a second packet, associated with a second packet flow, are destined for a low-latency application having a specified latency range, wherein the first packet flow is associated with the first user device and the second packet flow is associated with the second user device;
• identify a first low-latency bearer and a second low-latency bearer configured to satisfy the specified latency range associated with the low-latency application,
• wherein the first low-latency bearer is between the first user device, the unified RAN and MEC platform, and a base station, and
• wherein the second low-latency bearer is between the second user device, the unified RAN and MEC platform, and the base station;
• map the first packet flow to the first low-latency bearer;
• and
• map the second packet flow to the second low-latency bearer.
