Abstract: An illustrative cellular network optimized for data communication in accordance with a set of parameters is described herein. The cellular network may receive a data communication that is to be delivered, in accordance with a set of parameters, from a first communication device to a second communication device. A particular user plane function (UPF) node may process the data communication in accordance with the set of parameters. The particular UPF node may be included in a set of UPF nodes deployed at sites including an edge site associated with a cellular base station and a central site associated with a network core. Based on the processing by the particular UPF node, the cellular network may deliver the data communication from the first communication device to the second communication device in accordance with the set of parameters. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
