Technology is disclosed for a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) management system operable for peer-to-peer (P2P) edge computing in a fifth generation (5G) computing network. The 3GPP management system can be configured to: identify a user plane function (UPF) based on quality of service (QoS) requirements. The 3GPP management system can be configured to request, from an edge computing management system, deployment of an application server (AS). The 3GPP management system can be configured to request a network functions virtualization (NFV) orchestrator (NFVO) to connect the UPF and the AS based on the QoS requirements.

A method includes receiving, at a control node of a cloud computing network, a first enterprise policy specific to the first enterprise and a second enterprise policy specific to the second enterprise, and managing communications between at least one user device of the first enterprise and the at least one enterprise application hosted on behalf of the first enterprise based on the first enterprise policy. The method also includes managing communications between at least one user device of the second enterprise and the at least one enterprise application hosted on behalf of the second enterprise based on the second enterprise policy.

A service request processing method, a related apparatus, and a system are provided. In the service request processing method provided in embodiments of the present invention, after receiving a service request reported by a network element, a load balancer first determines whether status information of a data node that corresponds to the service request indicates that the data node is available; and rejects, if the status information indicates that the data node is unavailable, to deliver the service request to an application node.

Technical solutions are described for selecting components from multiple vendors for a system. An example computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processor, an environment map that identifies a first component placeholder of the system. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying, by the processor, that the first component placeholder interfaces with a second component placeholder of the system. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, by the processor, a role assigned to the first component placeholder, where the role indicates a type of data that a first component at the first component placeholder communicates with a second component at the second component placeholder. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, by the processor, a list of components for selecting the first component, where each component from the list of components matches the role assigned to the first component placeholder.

A method of processing media content in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Network Based Media Processing (NBMP) includes obtaining a plurality of tasks for processing the media content, providing an interface between an NBMP workflow manager and a cloud manager by providing an NBMP Link application program interface (API), which links the plurality of tasks together, identifying an amount of network resources to be used for processing the media content, by using the NBMP Link API, and processing the media content in accordance with the identified amount of network resources.

Embodiments describing methods performed by a system comprising Network functions including at least a Session Management Function and a User Plane Function for performing a UPF re-anchoring for an application triggered at a User Equipment over an established Packet Data Unit (PDU) Session, where when the system receives the initial trigger for a service triggered by the application (e.g., a DNS request or an application level request), a determination is made by the system based on the information related to the application that re-anchoring of the UPF for that application into a local UPF closer to the UE is required. When re-anchoring of the UPF is successful, the initial trigger is discarded, and the UE is instructed to establish a new PDU session over the local UPF for that application.
