Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficient group-based handling of massive internet of things (M-IoT) devices that are compatible with both current cellular networks, and next generation 5G systems. Examples allow reduced overhead between a (radio) access network (R)AN and a core network (CN) that originates from unnecessary signaling traffic for IoT devices transitioning from IDLE to CONNECTED mode, especially when sending small data packets. In addition, or in other embodiments, mobility solutions are provided for group based M-IoT.

Abstract: An apparatus and system to enable dynamic offloading and execution of compute tasks are described. In split CU-DU RAN architectures, the CU-CP is connected with multiple compute control functions (CF) and service functions (SF) that have different computing hardware/software capabilities. Different architectures depend on whether the SF is collocated with the CU-UP, the CU-UP and SF only serve compute messages, a compute message is supplied directly to the CU-UP or also traverses the CU-CP. In response to reception from a UE of a compute message containing data for computation being sent to the CU-CP through the DU, the CU-CP sends the data to the SF with identifiers and sends the result to the UE.
