    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

    Abstract: A system for dynamic edge routing of data traffic for a mobile entity having a plurality of applications is provided. An automotive edge router (AER) is located on the mobile entity. The AER is configured to connect to and be in signal communication with a plurality of cellular networks associated with different communication service providers (CSPs), and to receive performance data for each of the plurality of cellular networks. A data traffic controller is in signal communication with the AER via one of the plurality of cellular networks and is configured to receive the performance data for each cellular network from the AER, to dynamically select one of the plurality of cellular networks for each of the applications on the mobile entity based on the performance data, and to transmit a command signal to the AER indicating the selection of one of the plurality of cellular networks for each application.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for bridging data traffic between an underlay network and an overlay network within a wireless telecommunication network, such as a wireless 5G network. One such method including: providing access to an overlay network that includes virtual routers, wherein the overlay network is built above the underlay network, the underlay network including physical infrastructure that delivers packets; providing a UPFv that acts as an anchor for telephony voice functions; establishing routing protocols to transmit from the UPFv to one or more of the virtual routers; configuring one or more of the virtual routers to bridge an outgoing communication from the UPFv to a public cloud provider; instructing the virtual router to send the outgoing communication through the public cloud provider to the underlay network; and instructing the virtual router to receive an incoming communication from the underlay network through the public cloud provider to the UPFv.
