Patent US10740149


Issued 2020-08-11

Serverless Computing Architecture

A computing device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to initialize a Fifth Generation wireless system (5G) function node of a particular type; identify one or more always-on processes associated with the particular type of 5G function node; and activate the identified one or more always-on processes. The processor may be further configured to monitor one or more trigger conditions associated with the 5G function node; detect a trigger condition, of the one or more trigger conditions; identify an on-demand process associated with the 5G function node based on the detected trigger condition; and activate the identified on-demand process in a serverless computing system using a serverless computing interface, in response to detecting the trigger condition.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method comprising: 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.

  • 11. A computer device comprising: 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.

  • 20. A non-transitory computer-readable memory device storing instructions executable by a processor, the non-transitory computer-readable memory device comprising: one or more instructions to initialize a Fifth Generation (5G) function node of a particular type; one or more instructions to identify one or more always-on processes associated with the particular type of 5G function node; one or more instructions to activate the identified one or more always-on processes; one or more instructions to 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; one or more instructions to monitor the one or more trigger conditions associated with the 5G function node; one or more instructions to detect the trigger condition, of the one or more trigger conditions; one or more instructions to identify that the designated on-demand process is to be performed by the 5G function node based on the detected trigger condition; and one or more instructions to activate the designated on-demand process in a serverless computing system using a serverless computing interface, in response to detecting the trigger condition.
