Abstract
Technology is disclosed for a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) management system operable for peer-to-peer (P2P) edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network. The 3GPP management system can be configured to: identify a user plane function (UPF) based on quality of service (QoS) requirements. The 3GPP management system can be configured to request, from an edge computing management system, deployment of an application server (AS). The 3GPP management system can be configured to request a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements.

1-20. (canceled)
An apparatus of a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) management system operable for peer-to-peer (P2P) edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- identify, at the 3GPP management system, a user plane function (UPF) based on quality of service (QoS) requirements;
- request, from an edge computing management system, deployment of an application server (AS);
- and
- request, at the 3GPP management system, a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements;
- and
- a memory interface configured to store the QoS requirements in a memory.
An apparatus of an edge computing system operable for peer-to-peer (P2P) edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- request, from a third generation partnership project (3GPP) management system, deployment of a user plane function (UPF);
- receive, at the edge computing system, a request for deployment of an application server (AS);
- identify, at the edge computing system, the AS based on quality of service (QoS) requirements;
- and
- request, at the 3GPP management system, a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements;
- and
- a memory interface configured to store the QoS requirements in a memory.
At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network, the instructions when executed by one or more processors at a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) management system perform the following:
- identifying, at the 3GPP management system, a user plane function (UPF) based on quality of service (QoS) requirements;
- requesting, from an edge computing management system, deployment of an application server (AS);
- and
- requesting, at the 3GPP management system, a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements.
