Claim 18:
19. An apparatus configured to provide functions in a new radio (NR) network, the apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
provide data plane functions (DPFs), the DPFs configured to serve as a shared database for control functions, user functions and management functions for data plane resources in the NR network;
interact with other functions of the NR network via a service interface, the other functions comprising control plane functions (CPF), user plane functions (UPF),

management plane functions (MPF), compute plane functions (COMPF), network exposure functions (NEF) and application functions (AF);
receive, at at least one of the DPFs, a request from a first learning function for a learning data set;
determine whether the first learning function has access permission to the learning data set;
in response to a determination that the first learning function has access permission to the learning data set, provide the learning data set to the first learning function;
in response to a determination that the first learning function does not has access permission to the learning data set, decline the request; and
after the learning data set is provided to the first learning function receive, at the at least one of the DPFs, an updated model from the first learning function; and

a memory configured to store data to be provided to the other functions.
