Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein to implement a platform independent client framework, which may also be known as a universal software stack. A computer-implemented method for may be used when seeking to connect a device without a 5G radio, such as a 3GPP device, to a 5G network. The device seeking to connect to the 5G network sends a connection request message to the platform independent client framework. Based on the connection request message, the platform independent client framework requests a platform specific adapter, which is then used to create an adapted message. The platform independent client framework then encapsulates the adapted message. The adapted message is then encapsulated to create a first encapsulated message. The first encapsulated message is then encapsulated in an internet protocol security protocol to create a second encapsulated message. The second encapsulated message is then transmitted to the 5G network.
