Enabling ICN in 3GPP
Chonggang Wang, Ravi Ravindran, Greg White, Dirk Trossen · 2020
The proposed 3GPP's 5G core nextgen architecture (5GC) offers flexibility to introduce new user and control plane function, considering the support for network slicing functions, that allows greater flexibility to handle heterogeneous devices and applications. In this draft, we provide a short description of the proposed 5GC architecture, followed by extensions to 5GC's control and user plane to support Packet Data Unit (PDU) sessions from Information- Centric Networks (ICN). The value of enabling ICN in 5GC is discussed using IP-based service scenarios in the context of 5G Local Area Networks (5GLAN).
