Converged network architecture and signaling for wireless network

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a user equipment context repository (UCRF) to:

• receive a registration request message from a mobility management function (MMF);
• generate a user equipment (UE) context based on the registration request message;
• and
• store, in the UE context, an indication that a UE is in a registered state.

A mobility management function (MMF) comprising:

• interface circuitry;
• and
• processing circuitry, coupled with the interface circuitry, the processing circuitry to
• receive, via the interface circuitry, one or more first mobility management (MM) messages from a proxy function, the one or more first MM messages to include first information from a base station distributed unit (DU) that is coupled with the proxy function over an F1 interface;
• perform a mobility management operation associated with a user equipment (UE) based on the first information;
• and
• transmit, via the interface circuitry, one or more second MM messages to the proxy function, the one or more second MM messages to include second information for the base station DU, wherein the second information is to convey results of the mobility management operation.
