Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to service function chaining in wireless networks. A communications system may include a communication control function to select one or multiple communication service functions associated with establishing service function chaining (SFC) services for telecommunications; a service orchestration and chaining function (SOCF) to establish the SFC services; and a service orchestration exposure function (SOEF) to expose the SFC services to an application function (AF) of the system.

Abstract: Techniques for maintaining service continuity in a 5G NR network in communication with a MEC system and an edge application (EDGEAPP) system are disclosed. A notification message originating from a service management function (SMF) of a core network (CN) is decoded at a network exposure function (NEF) of the CN. The notification message includes a UE IP address change of a UE. A private IP address of the UE is determined based on the UE IP address change. A query with the private IP address is encoded for transmission to a NAT server. A response from the NAT server is decoded. The response includes a public IP address and a UE ID of the UE. The public IP address corresponds to the private IP address. A tuple including the UE ID, the public IP address, and the private IP address is generated at the NEF.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for traffic Steering for Service Function Chaining (SFC) are described. Different protocol stacks may be used to enable SFC for the user plane. The protocol stacks include: separate SFC service layer and transport protocols in which transport uses identifiers of different enhanced user plane functions (eUPFs) and communication (Comm) Service Functions (SFs), transport protocols that are integrated with SFC-related information in which a General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol-user (GTP-U) header or a Segment Routing Header (SRH) has type-length-value (TLV) fields contains the SFC-related information, or an SFC inherent Segment Routing (SR) protocol stack in which first SFC-related information is carried as a locator: function field in Segment Routing Header (SRH) and second SFC-related information is contained in a type-length-value (TLV) field of the SRH, the first SFC-related information comprising a Comm SF and identification of SFs reachable from the Comm SF.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide techniques to enable communication between a user equipment (UE) microservice and a microservice of a wireless cellular network via service mesh. A first solution is described, in which the service mesh is in the network, and the network includes a service mesh proxy to communicate with the UE. A second solution is also described, in which the UE is part of the cellular network service mesh and includes a service mesh proxy in the UE. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides embodiments in which computing (e.g., edge computing) is part of base station (BS) capability. These embodiments may enable conducting computing offloading between a user equipment (UE) and BS in the radio access network (RAN), for example, compute in the RAN, and deliver “true” edge computing user experience. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
