Serverless Microservice Pipeline for 6GC
Event-Driven Function-as-a-Service Core Network Plane
Cloud-native core architecture where telco control plane functions scale to zero when idle and instantiate in microseconds upon packet arrival.
Technical Explanation
In 5G, network functions run as continuous background containers consuming costly cloud compute even during 3 AM idle traffic periods. The Serverless Microservice Pipeline decomposes the 6G Core into event-driven WebAssembly functions (Function-as-a-Service). When a user device emits a signaling request, the function cold-starts in under 200 microseconds, processes the transaction, and instantly scales down to zero, slashing operator cloud hosting costs by over 70%.
Key Functions
- Decomposes monolithic telco control functions into microsecond serverless functions
- Scales computing resource consumption down to zero during idle traffic hours
- Instantiates WebAssembly functions in under 200 microseconds on demand
- Reduces cloud-native telecommunication infrastructure operational expenses (OpEx)
