Abstract
Systems and methods provide containers instantiated for each user equipment (UE), or on “per-UE” bases, which consolidate certain network functions for processing UE traffic into an efficient, in-network, and proximate virtualization to reduce latency and increase customizability.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a container module configured to instantiate a per-user equipment (per-UE) container corresponding to a user equipment device (UE) associated with a network, the per-UE container configured to be instantiated during association of the UE with the network based on a fetched UE profile using the container module, wherein the per-UE container includes a mobility module configured to manage mobility of the UE in the network and a policy module configured to manage data plane policies associated with the UE.
A method, comprising:
- detecting user equipment (UE) entering a network;
- fetching a UE profile associated with the UE;
- and
- instantiating, using a container module and based on the UE profile associated with the UE, a per-user equipment (per-UE) container representing the UE, the per-UE container comprising a mobility module configured to manage mobility of the UE in the network and a policy module configured to manage data plane policies associated with the UE.
1 more element
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor perform aspects to:
- instantiate a container representing a user equipment device (UE) associated with a network, the container comprising a mobility module configured to manage mobility of the UE in the network and a policy module configured to manage data plane policies associated with the UE.
