Claim 7:
8. A User Plane Function (UPF) configured to manage traffic associated with a User Equipment (UE) in a telecommunication network, the UPF associated with a Session Management Function (SMF) and a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), wherein the UPF has access to an observation space comprising a list of possible states the network may take, wherein the UPF has access to an action space comprising a list of possible actions that the UPF is allowed to perform, the UPF comprising:
receive circuitry configured to receive:
a state of the network from the NWDAF, wherein the state is comprised by the list of possible states;
a reward from the NWDAF, wherein the reward indicates a degree of satisfaction of the network to be in the state; and
network traffic from the UE; and

processing circuitry configured to perform, in response to receiving the network traffic from the UE, an action comprised by the list of possible actions based on the received state of the network and based on the received reward.
