US 2020/0287977 A1 · CONNECTIONLESS SERVICE AND OTHER SERVICES FOR DEVICES USING MICROSERVICES IN 5G OR OTHER NEXT GENERATION COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Techniques for instantiating and managing microservices for use in connection with devices associated with a core network are presented. A service management component (SMC) can determine a subgroup of services to be used for a group of one or more devices based on results of analysis of characteristics and service conditions associated with the group of devices, wherein a characteristic can relate to whether a device is stationary or mobile. At a desired time(s), which can be periodically, dynamically, or upon request, SMC can instantiate or facilitate instantiating the subgroup of services to facilitate communicating data associated with the device(s) using the subgroup of services. The services can comprise a connectionless service, connection-oriented service, charging service, authentication service, UPF services, or other services. SMC can employ the connectionless service when a device is stationary, but the connectionless service can be extended to devices when they are nomadic or mobile.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining a subgroup of services to be utilized for a first device based on an analysis of a characteristic of the first device and a service specification associated with the first device, wherein a group of services comprises the subgroup of services, and wherein the characteristic of the first device relates to whether the first device is stationary;
and
instantiating the subgroup of services to facilitate communication of data by the first device.

3 more elements

A method, comprising:

determining, by a system comprising a processor, a subgroup of services, of a group of services, to be used for a wireless device based on an analysis of a characteristic and a service condition associated with the wireless device, wherein the characteristic relates to whether the wireless device is immobile;
and
instantiating, by the system, the subgroup of services to facilitate communicating information associated with the wireless device.
