AI Technical Summary
Existing wireless networks lack the ability to provide customizable data processing network functions within the network, limiting flexibility and efficiency in handling various data processing tasks such as encryption, traffic shaping, and intrusion detection.
Implementing a pluggable architecture within data processing network functions such as UPF, AMF, and SMF, allowing customers to upload customized plugins or select from approved versions to perform specific data processing tasks, and utilizing software-based subnetwork load balancers for failover and traffic routing.
This approach reduces complexity and latency in communication networks by integrating data processing functions within existing network functions, enhances flexibility and customizability for customers, and improves network availability and reliability.
