More Information
Summary:Disclosed are embodiments that leverage a central control plane of a managed 5G network service architecture across multiple serviced tenants by deploying tenant specific user plane function (UPF) and gNB components within tenant managed compute infrastructure. To enable this architecture, the disclosed embodiments assign gNBs and UPF instances to specific tenants and communicate those assignments to core components. Policies can be defined and applied to specific tenants from the central control plane. Inbound data routing to a specific tenant is accomplished by referencing a data store in the control plane that identifies which gNBs are assigned to a tenant associated with the incoming data. Those gNBs are then paged to service the incoming data.
