    摘要: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes providing, by a processing system including a processor, a controller function for a user plane function (UPF) of a communication network; the controller function facilitates automated procedures for authentication, deployment, configuration, testing, and/or controlling availability of the UPF, independent of a source of the UPF. The method also includes providing, by the processing system, an interface to facilitate communication between the controller function and the UPF; the controller function uses the interface to facilitate the procedures. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for providing a distributed customer premises equipment (CPE) comprising several devices. A computer system executes a control plane subsystem that sends network control packets using one or more network interfaces for controlling network data packet forwarding operations performed by devices. The network control packets includes a first set of network control packets sent to a first device located at a second location and a second set of network control packets sent to a second device located at a third location.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for providing a distributed customer premises equipment (CPE) comprising several devices. The distributed CPE may include a control plane subsystem configured to execute on a first device, a first data plane subsystem configured to execute on a second device, and a second data plane subsystem configured to execute on a third device. The second device may be further configured to execute a first virtual machine capable of executing a first network function. The third device may be further configured to execute a second virtual machine capable of executing a second network function. In certain embodiments, the control plane subsystem may be configured to control forwarding functionality of the first data plane subsystem and the second data plane subsystem, and control the first network function and the second network function. In certain embodiments, the first device and the second device are customer premises equipment (CPE) devices.

    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatus and computer-readable medium are described for improving efficiency and robustness for configuring data-planes. Furthermore, systems, methods, and devices are provided for efficiently storing, maintaining and retrieving configuration information for data-planes. The configuration information may be stored and retrieved from a hierarchy of information stored in memory, such as a hierarchy of information in memory, wherein the hierarchy of information has configuration data for one or more data-planes and represents one or more command sequences issued by a controller of the control-plane to one or more data-planes. In certain implementations, the hierarchy of information comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein each node represents at least a portion of a command sequence issued by the controller. The command sequences may be configuration command sequences issued by the control plane to configure the data-planes.

    摘要: Passive location estimation of mobile devices within a wireless network is provided. The passive location estimation is determined based on one or more measurements that are received from the mobile device and/or from one or more network elements. At least a portion of the passive information can be received in user plane data associated with an application executing on the mobile device. A measurement set for the mobile device can be defined and can be used to build fingerprints of geographical cellular measurements.
