Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A system, comprising:
a wireless communication network including a random access network (RAN) and a core network; and
a management function in the core network including a computer system, the computer system including a processor, a memory, and an input-output circuit, the processor being configured according to computer-executable instructions for:
determining a data throughput limit associated with a user equipment (UE) when the UE attempts to attach to the wireless communication network,
determining a data throughput capacity of a first user plane function in the wireless communication network,
determining a data throughput capacity of a second user plane function in the wireless communication network, the data throughput capacity of the first user plane function being higher than the data throughput capacity of the second user plane function,
if the data throughput limit of the UE is above a predetermined value, selecting the first user plane function, and
if the data throughput limit of the UE is below the predetermined value, selecting the second user plane function.
