Description

The disclosures of the foregoing applications are considered as part of this patent application and are incorporated by reference into this patent application. Technology field The aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to technology and apparatus for utilizing services through a user plane. Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcast. Conventional wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmission power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standards published by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communication for wireless communication devices, such as user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a network node via downlink and uplink communication. "Downlink" (or "DL") refers to a communication link from a network node to a UE, and "uplink" (or "UL") refers to a communication link from a UE to a network node. Some wireless networks may support device-to-device (D2D) communication, for example, via local links (e.g., among other examples, sidelinks (SL), wireless local area network (WLAN) links, and/or wireless personal area network (WPAN) links). The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at the city, national, regional, and/or global levels. 5G, which may be referred to as New Radio (NR), is an extension set of the LTE mobile standard published by 3GPP. 5G is designed to support mobile broadband internet access better by supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation, as well as by using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink and CP-OFDM and/or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink to improve spectrum efficiency, reduce costs, improve services, utilize new spectrum, and integrate better with other open standards. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in 4G, 5G, and other wireless access technologies are still useful. In the early days of the Internet, data networks were built to provide many services through heterogeneous devices. One of the design principles of the data network model was that it incorporated a layered system architecture featuring simple service interfaces that encompassed many applications and transport methods. The data network model resembles an hourglass with the Internet Protocol (IP) layer in the center, which allows routing protocols to be placed on any type of interface. Different transports or types of services can operate on these interfaces. With the advent of cellular wireless networks such as 3G and 4G, the hourglass aspect of the data network model was adopted for cellular network models. With the introduction of smartphones, 4G successfully provided many services. The 4G protocol stack aimed to support the same model as the Internet but specifically for cellular wireless networks. This required a separate control plane to manage data transmission for cellular requirements such as mobility. The separate control plane protocol stack and user plane protocol stack inherited the architecture defined for 3G. As 4G expanded, new features were introduced to extend system capabilities to new use cases and device types. However, new services could not be deployed without upgrading the underlying protocols. There is no simple method to add services via the control plane that is equivalent to simply enabling new services over IP. The challenge is to enable services to be deployed independently by making the most of existing protocols and allowing UEs to address
