SUPPORTING INFORMATION CENTRIC NETWORKING IN NEXT GENERATION CELLULAR NETWORKS

Abstract:

Technology for an Information Centric Networking gateway (ICN-GW) operable to modify an ICN message received from a user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation (5G) cellular network is disclosed. The ICN-GW can decode the ICN message received from the UE via a Next 5 Generation NodeB (gNB) and an ICN point of attachment (ICNPoA). The ICN-GW can modify the ICN message to produce a modified ICN message. The ICN-GW can encode the modified ICN message to route the modified ICN message to a data network.
