Claim 2:
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the selecting a UPF of the plurality of UPFs includes:
generating multiple load-regions, wherein each load-region corresponds to a different range of current load of a UPF defined by one or more of lower and upper threshold percentages of UPF load capacity;
in response to receiving the request to anchor the PDU session, for each UPF of the plurality of UPFs, determining a load region from the multiple load-regions that a current load of the UPF falls within; and
selecting a UPF of the plurality of UPFs based on the determined load-regions for the plurality of UPFs and the weights generated based on the determined load regions.
