In some embodiments, receiving the information identifying a selected E2E mobility trajectory comprises receiving information identifying a selected route.
In some embodiments, sending the mobility management and optimization information to a RAN comprises sending the mobility management and optimization information to a Next Generation (NG) RAN.
In some embodiments, sending the mobility management and optimization information to a RAN comprises sending the mobility management and optimization information directly to the RAN.
In some embodiments, sending the mobility management and optimization information to a RAN comprises sending the mobility management and optimization information via one or more of: a Core Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF); an Operation and Maintenance (O&M), function; and a Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF).
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a network node for E2E UE trajectory network automation comprises: one or more processors; and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors, whereby the network node is operable to: receive, from a requesting entity, information identifying a future E2E UE trajectory, the E2E UE trajectory comprising a start location, an end location, and zero or more intermediate locations between the start location and the end location; calculate a E2E mobility trajectory prediction for the identified future E2E UE trajectory; and send, to the requesting entity, the calculated E2E mobility trajectory prediction.
In some embodiments, the network node is further operable to: receive, from the requesting entity, information identifying a selected E2E mobility trajectory; and send mobility management and optimization information to RAN.
