Description

System and method for managing QUIC services Technical Field The present disclosure relates generally to wireless communications, including but not limited to systems and methods for managing fast user datagram protocol (user datagram protocol, UDP) international connection (international connection, QUIC) traffic. Background The standardization organization third generation partnership project (Third Generation Partnership Project,3 GPP) is currently in the process of making a new Radio Interface (Radio Interface) named 5G new air Interface (5G New Radio,5G NR) and a next generation packet core network (Next Generation Packet Core Network, NG-CN or NGC). The 5G NR will have three main components, a 5G access network (5G Access Network,5G-AN), a 5G core network (5G Core Network,5GC) and User Equipment (UE). To facilitate implementing different data services and requirements, elements of 5GC (also known as Network functions) have been reduced to where some elements are software-based and some elements are hardware-based so that these elements can be adapted as desired. Disclosure of Invention Example embodiments disclosed herein are directed to solving problems associated with one or more of the problems presented in the prior art, and providing additional features that will become apparent by reference to the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. According to various embodiments, example systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are disclosed herein. However, it should be understood that these embodiments are presented by way of example and not limitation, and that various modifications of the disclosed embodiments may be made while remaining within the scope of the disclosure, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art from reading the disclosure. At least one aspect relates to the following systems, methods, apparatus, or computer readable media. A wireless communication node (e.g., a wireless communication node, base Station (BS), or gNB) of a radio access network (radio access network, RAN) may store (e.g., maintain, buffer, maintain) traffic filtering information including an identifier of a fast user datagram protocol internet connection (quitc) connection. The wireless communication node may identify (e.g., select from among the received services) a portion of the data traffic based on traffic filtering information including an identifier of the QUIC connection. In some embodiments, the wireless communication node may receive traffic filtering information (e.g., traffic rules) from an application function (application function, AF). The traffic filtering information may include an identifier of the QUIC connection. The wireless communication node may establish/set/update traffic filtering information (e.g., traffic rules) that may include identifiers of the QUIC connections. In some embodiments, the wireless communication node may obtain/access/receive Edge Application Server (EAS) deployment information from an edge application server (edge application server, EAS) management function. The wireless communication node may obtain/access/receive EAS runtime information from the EAS management function. The wireless communication node may determine/update traffic filtering information, which may include an identifier of the QUIC connection, based on at least one of the EAS deployment information or the EAS runtime information. In some embodiments, the EAS deployment information may include an indication of at least one of an address of the EAS, at least one service provided by the EAS, at least one computing resource associated with the EAS, or at least one storage resource associated with the EAS. In some embodiments, the EAS runtime information may include an indication of at least one of the load/workload of the EAS (e.g., capacity utilized or remaining capacity), or a change in the status or state of the EAS. The EAS management functionality may be part of the wireless communication node. In some embodiments, the EAS management function may be separate from and in communication with the wireless communication node. In some embodiments, the wireless communication node may receive data traffic from a wireless communication device (e.g., a User Equipment (UE)) or an AF. The wireless communication node may direct a portion of the identified data traffic for a particular process (e.g., to meet a particular quality of service (quality of service, qoS), latency requirements) or on a particular routing path (e.g., to meet a particular QoS, latency requirements) based on traffic filtering information, which may include an identifier of the QUIC connection. In some embodiments, the wireless communication device may encapsulate/contain/include/carry a portion of the data traffic in at least one QUIC data packet. The QUIC data packet comprising header information may comprise at least one of an identifier of the QUIC connection or
