A method and apparatus for allocating network resources, including computational nodes available for hosting network functions, such as 4G EPC (Evolved Packet Core) functions and/or 5GC (fifth generation Core) functions. An orchestrator monitors various network operational parameters in order to determine the most efficient allocation of resources (i.e., to determine which computational resources to allocate to hosting which network functions) at each particular point in time based on the network load and resources available.

Method and apparatus for edgeless enterprises

A dynamic Packet Data Network (PDN) context without requiring Access Point Name (APN) configuration on a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The disclosed method and apparatus eliminate the need for a manual configuration of a UE in the field when different traffic forwarding or routing paths are required. The disclosed method and apparatus also provide for the proper Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment and the management of the Quality of Service (QOS) treatments applied to specific flows based on determined characteristics of the flows.

Packet routing enhancements in microslices

A method and apparatus for seamless real-time transitions across LTE and Wi-Fi networks are disclosed. The disclosed method and apparatus relate to determining which communications networks to use when communicating between a UE and a network within an Enterprise Network (EN). In some embodiments, a Communications Client Application (CCA) operates within a selected UE and a Communications Server Application (CSA) operates on the network side of the Enterprise Network. Both the CCA and the CSA act together in concert to coordinate the transmission of packets between the UE and the network using either LTE or Wi-Fi networks. For seamless communications, some embodiments use a single VPN tunnel through which to transmit data packets. In other embodiments, for seamless communications, two VPN tunnels are used, one for LTE packet transfers, and one for Wi-Fi packet transfers.
