Disclosed are various embodiments that provide distributed user plane functions for radio-based networks. In one embodiment, data is received from a client device connected to a radio access network of a radio-based network. The data is forwarded to a user plane component of a user plane function. The user plane component is implemented in a computing device of the radio access network. The data is processed by the user plane component. The data that has been processed is then routed to a data network.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for UPF control with coexistence of policy control and packet filters dynamically generated at the SMF. For example, if the SMF obtains an event subscription with traffic descriptors from another entity, and if there is no installed PDR with the same traffic descriptor, the SMF may construct a PDR with an action according to the subscribed event. The SMF may configure the UPF with the constructed PDR. In certain embodiments, to construct the PDR, the SMF may copy the PDR that would have previously matched the incoming traffic described by the traffic descriptor in the notification subscription, and associates the PDR with a higher priority, the traffic descriptor and a notification action according to the subscribed event. To configure the UPF, the SMF may provide the PDR with the higher priority, the received traffic descriptor, and the notification action, according to some embodiments.

A base station determines, based on transmission quality information of a fronthaul and channel quality information of a terminal, a resource and a transmission scheme of the fronthaul assigned to the terminal, and controls, based on determined information, the transmission scheme of a signal to be transmitted to the fronthaul using the determined resource.
