Methods and devices for wireless communications

A device comprising:

• a template memory, configured to store a filter template that defines one or more parameters of target data;
• and
• a traffic filter, configured to
• apply the filter template to raw data originating from a local network;
• identify target data from the raw data based on the one or more parameters of the filter template;
• and
• route the target data to a local server for processing offload;
• wherein the traffic filter is configured to receive signaling from a server that specifies the filter template;
• and
• wherein the signaling comprises the one or more parameters of the filter template and the template memory is configured to store the one or more parameters of the filter template;
• wherein the raw data is user plane data originating from one or more terminal devices of the local network;
• wherein the traffic filter is configured to apply the filter template to the raw data and identify the target data from the raw data by:
• performing packet inspection on packets of the raw data to identify one or more characteristics of the packets, and
• determining whether the one or more characteristics of the packets match the one or more parameters of the filter template, and classifying packets having one or more characteristics that match the one or more parameters as target data.
