A method of managing traffic associated with a User Equipment, UE, by a User Plane Function, UPF, in a telecommunication network, said UPF being associated with a Session Management Function, SMF, and a Network Data Analytics Function, NWDAF, wherein said UPF has access to an observation space comprising a list of possible states said network may take and wherein said UPF has access to an action space comprising a list of possible actions that said UPF is allowed to perform, said method comprising the steps of receiving a state of said network, wherein said state is comprised by said list of possible states, receiving a reward, wherein said reward indicates a degree of satisfaction of said network to be in said state, receiving network traffic from said UE and performing, triggered by said received traffic, an action comprised by said list of possible actions based on said received state of said network and based on said received reward.
A method of supporting of the managing of traffic associated with a User Equipment (UE) by a User Plane Function (UPF) in a telecommunication network, the UPF associated with a Session Management Function (SMF) and a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), wherein the UPF is to have access to an action space comprising a list of possible actions the UPF is allowed to perform, wherein the method comprises the SMF:
A Session Management Function (SMF) configured to support managing of traffic associated with a User Equipment (UE) by a User Plane Function (UPF) in a telecommunication network, the UPF associated with the SMF and a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), wherein the UPF is to have access to an action space comprising a list of possible actions the UPF is allowed to perform, wherein the SMF comprises:
A non-transitory computer readable medium for a Session Management Function (SMF) configured to support managing of traffic associated with a User Equipment (UE) by a User Plane Function (UPF) in a telecommunication network, wherein the UPF is associated with the SMF and a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) and has access to an action space comprising a list of possible actions the UPF is allowed to perform, and wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium has instructions stored thereon that, when executed by processing circuitry of the SMF, controls the SMF to:
