Patent US10740149

initializing, by a computer device, a Fifth Generation (5G) function node of a particular type;

identifying, by the computer device, one or more always-on processes associated with the particular type of 5G function node;

activating, by the computer device, the identified one or more always-on processes;

designating, by the computer device, a process to be performed by the 5G function node as an on-demand process based on one or more criteria, wherein the one or more criteria comprise a latency requirement and wherein the on-demand process is associated with code that is loaded and executed in response to a trigger condition of one or more trigger conditions;

monitoring, by the computer device, the one or more trigger conditions associated with the 5G function node;

detecting, by the computer device, the trigger condition, of the one or more trigger conditions;

identifying, by the computer device, that the designated on-demand process is to be performed by the 5G function node based on the detected trigger condition; and

activating, by the computer device, the designated on-demand process in a serverless computing system using a serverless computing interface, in response to detecting the trigger condition.

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to: initialize a Fifth Generation (5G) function node of a particular type; identify one or more always-on processes associated with the particular type of 5G function node; activate the identified one or more always-on processes; designate a process to be performed by the 5G function node as an on-demand process based on one or more criteria, wherein the one or more criteria include a latency requirement; and wherein the on-demand process is associated with code that is loaded and executed in response to a trigger condition of one or more trigger conditions; monitor the one or more trigger conditions associated with the 5G function node; detect the trigger condition, of the one or more trigger conditions; identify that the designated on-demand process is to be performed by the 5G function node based on the detected trigger condition; and activate the designated on-demand process in a serverless computing system using a serverless computing interface, in response to detecting the trigger condition.
