Abstract
In a 6G network, microservices can be utilized in the absence of a core network. For example, after a mobile device has authenticated, through its carrier network, with a transport service layer, microservices can be allocated to the mobile device without having to be transmitted via the core network. Thus, removing the core network from the process can generate a direct line of microservices from the transport layer to the end-user. Furthermore, additional microservices and/or resources can be access through a microservices library. Consequently, packets can be securely transmitted be a wireless network facilitating sending packet profile data from one to many node devices in anticipation of the packet traversing the various node devices.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- disconnecting, by a user equipment comprising a processor, from a network connection, enabled via a network, between a core network equipment and the user equipment;
- accessing, by the user equipment, a network service via a function library associated with a service layer usable to provide the network service to the user equipment, wherein the network service is a microservice accessible via the function library;
- and
- facilitating, by the user equipment, communication according to the network service,
- wherein a network node of the network has been determined to be operating at a reduced processing power, lower than a threshold processing power,
- wherein a packet profile of a packet associated with the network service has been modified, and
- wherein the packet has been routed to avoid being routed via the network node.
A user equipment, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- removing a network connection, via a network, between a core network equipment and the user equipment;
- accessing a microservice via a microservice function library associated with a service layer usable to provide the microservice to the user equipment;
- and
- communicating according to the microservice,
- wherein a network node equipment of the network has been determined to be operating at a second processing power, lower than a first processing power,
- wherein a packet profile of a packet associated with the microservice has been modified, and
- wherein the packet has been routed on a route to avoid being routed via the network node equipment.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user equipment, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- disabling a network connection, via a network, between a core network equipment and the user equipment;
- accessing a microservice via a microservice function library associated with a service layer usable to provide the microservice to the user equipment;
- and
- sending a communication according to the microservice,
- wherein a network node of the network has been determined to be operating at a reduced processing power, lower than a defined processing power,
- wherein a packet profile of a packet associated with the microservice has been modified, and
- wherein the packet has been rerouted on a route to avoid being routed via the network node.
