Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an access and mobility management function (AMF) assignment service is provided. A network device receives an assignment policy for selecting an AMF from a group of available AMFs, wherein the assignment policy includes network slice priorities for available network slices in the RAN; stores the assignment policy; receives, during a registration procedure initiated by an end device, Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI); identifies, from the NSSAI, multiple single-NSSAIs (S-NSSAIs); and selects, based on the assignment policy, an AMF for a highest priority S-NSSAI, of the multiple S-NSSAIs.

Abstract: A device determines whether an application, utilized by a user device and associated with a network, is a low latency application or a best effort application. The device designates a first network device or a second network device as a designated network device to be an IP anchor point for the application based on a set of rules. The first network device is designated as the designated network device when the application is the low latency application, or the second network device is designated as the designated network device when the application is the best effort application. The device provides, to the user device, information informing the user device that the designated network device is to be the IP anchor point for the application, and provides, to the network, information instructing the network to utilize the designated network device as the IP anchor point for the application.

Abstract: A system determines an optimized number and placement of wireless stations based on predicted future demand scoring of end user devices. A computing device calculates a growth projection of mobile devices in a geographic region for a time period; calculates a visiting projection for a peak amount of mobile devices connected to wireless stations in the geographic area and their locations when connected to wireless stations within the time period; calculates an application-use projection for bandwidth use patterns of the mobile devices within the time period; and calculates a network impact projection for an amount bandwidth impact by the mobile devices at each of the wireless stations. The computing device generates a demand score for geographic units within the geographic region, based on the projections, and assigns, based on the demand score, one or more of the geographic units as placement locations for new wireless station during the time period.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice deployment service is described. The network slice deployment service includes storing network resource and capability information that indicates available network resources in a network. Network level requirement information pertaining to a request for network service from a user is generated. The network level requirement information is used to select available network resources based on the network resource capability information. The network slice deployment service calculates network resource utilization associated with available network resources so that optimal usage of network resources can be selected and end-to-end network slice deployment layout information can be generated and used to provision a network slice deployment layout that supports the request for network service.

Abstract: A computing device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to initialize a Fifth Generation wireless system (5G) function node of a particular type; identify one or more always-on processes associated with the particular type of 5G function node; and activate the identified one or more always-on processes. The processor may be further configured to monitor one or more trigger conditions associated with the 5G function node; detect a trigger condition, of the one or more trigger conditions; identify an on-demand process associated with the 5G function node based on the detected trigger condition; and activate the identified on-demand process in a serverless computing system using a serverless computing interface, in response to detecting the trigger condition.
