Abstract
An electronic device for a session management function (SMF) may comprise memory storing instructions and at least one processor. The instructions may cause the electronic device to: obtain a first load value for a second time interval before selecting a serving user plane function (UPF), estimated based on an artificial intelligence model (AI model) using first load information of each of UPFs measured within a first time interval before the second time interval, obtain a second load value for the second time interval, calculated by using second load information of each of the UPFs measured within the second time interval, determine a difference between the first load value and the second load value, and determine, using the difference, whether to use a predicted load value of each of the UPFs obtained based on the AI model to select the serving UPF from among the UPFs.
