Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a data packet in a wireless communication system, the method including: provisioning at least one virtual network function (VNF) corresponding to some or all of a plurality of network functions (NFs) included in a first core network; registering, in the first core network, the provisioned at least one VNF; receiving a first packet from a user equipment (UE) and determining a path through which the first packet is to be transmitted, from among a first path between a user plane function (UPF) of the first core network and an electronic device and a second path between a UPF of a second core network and the electronic device; and transmitting the first packet through the determined path.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a control server for scheduling a computing task including a plurality of tasks to be performed by computation servers.

Abstract: A handover method, performed by a source base station in a wireless communication system, includes: receiving an indicator indicating a start of packet duplication transmission of a user plane function (UPF); and transmitting at least one redundant packet to a target base station, based on the indicator indicating the start of the packet duplication transmission of the UPF, wherein the packet duplication transmission includes transmitting, to the target base station, a packet that is identical to a packet transmitted by the UPF to the source base station, wherein the redundant packet includes a packet that was received from the UPF before the start of the packet duplication transmission but is not transmitted to a User Equipment (UE) and stored.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than 4th generation (4G) communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE). An apparatus of an E2 node is provided. The apparatus includes at least one transceiver and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to transmit a first indication message to a radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) through an E2 interface and transmit a second indication message to the RIC through the E2 interface, wherein the first indication message includes a measurement container, the measurement container includes measurement information and label information about a category related to measurement, the second indication message includes a reference indicator, and the reference indicator may indicate to use the measurement information or label information of the first indication message.
