  • Publication number: 20230319542
    Abstract: To detect and recover from failure occurring in a core network. A subscriber information holding unit holds subscriber information indicating association between a terminal and a user plane function in a communication system. A failure detection unit detects a failure related to the user plane function. A control unit changes the subscriber information held in the subscriber information holding unit so as to associate a new user plane function with the terminal associated with the user plane function in which the failure is detected by the failure detection unit.

  • Publication number: 20230224218
    Abstract: To flexibly control the number of user planes in a communication system. In the communication system, a base station located on a local area network is connected to at least one user plane function located on a cloud. Whether or not to add a new user plane function is determined in consideration of an amount of traffic of user data and an assumed amount of traffic of the new user plane function out of a maximum amount of traffic on the local area network, the user data being transferred by the at least one user plane function by use of the local area network.
