Edge computing deployment scenarios

1. An apparatus of a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) management system operable for peer-to-peer (P2P) edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network, the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

identify, at the 3GPP management system, a user plane function (UPF) based on quality of service (QoS) requirements;

request, from an edge computing management system, deployment of an application server (AS); and

request, at the 3GPP management system, a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements; and

a memory interface configured to store the QoS requirements in a memory.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

select, at the 3GPP management system, the UPF based on a geographical location of one or more of: the UPF, or a new radio node B (gNB) for a user equipment (UE).

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

select, at the 3GPP management system, a data center of the UPF based on one or more of: the QoS requirements, or a geographical location of the UPF.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, at the 3GPP management system, the QoS requirements for a connection between the UPF and the AS.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

insert, at the 3GPP management system, an uplink classifier in the UPF to divert user plane traffic from a user equipment (UE) to the UPF.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

identify, at the 3GPP management system, an identifier of the UPF; and

send, from the 3GPP management system, the identifier of the UPF to one or more of the NFVO or the edge computing management system.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the edge computing management system or the NFVO are non-3GPP network elements.

8. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network, the instructions when executed by one or more processors at a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) management system perform the following:

identifying, at the 3GPP management system, a user plane function (UPF) based on quality of service (QoS) requirements;

requesting, from an edge computing management system, deployment of an application server (AS); and

requesting, at the 3GPP management system, a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements.

9. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

selecting, at the 3GPP management system, the UPF based on a geographical location of one or more of: the UPF, or a new radio node B (gNB) for a user equipment (UE).

10. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

selecting, at the 3GPP management system, a data center of the UPF based on one or more of: the QoS requirements, or a geographical location of the UPF.

11. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

receiving, at the 3GPP management system, the QoS requirements for a connection between the UPF and the AS.

12. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

inserting, at the 3GPP management system, an uplink classifier in the UPF to divert user plane traffic from a user equipment (UE) to the UPF.

13. The at least one machine readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

identifying, at the 3GPP management system, an identifier of the UPF; and

sending, from the 3GPP management system, the identifier of the UPF to one or more of the NFVO or the edge computing management system.
