Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
determine that a compute task is to be offloaded to a radio access network (RAN) for computation by a RAN computing service function (Comp SF);
encode, for transmission to a RAN centralized unit (CU) control plane (CU-CP), a compute message to indicate the compute task to be offloaded and data of the compute task, the compute message comprising at least one of a RAN compute session identifier (ID) or task ID; and
decode, from the RAN, a compute message response that provides results of the compute task performed by the RAN Comp SF; and

a memory configured to store information of the compute task.
