Abstract:
Control plane devices are selected by an access point for establishment of end-to-end control plane for a user equipment (UE) coupled to (or requesting to couple to) the access point. In one aspect, the selection is based on data extracted during the setup and/or registration messages communicated between the access point and UE during attachment of the UE to the access point and/or an internal derived mapping of the control pane devices to the access point. In one example, a control plane device pool is segregated to and different sets of control plane devices are selected and utilized to handle traffic associated with different services to improve scaling and flexibility.

Claim (Index 1):
An access point device, comprising:\n a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:\n receiving, from a network management device of a communication network, identifier data indicative of respective group identifiers assigned to control plane devices that serve the access point device, wherein a group identifier of the respective group identifiers specifies a category of traffic handled by a group of the control plane devices, and wherein the identifier data is determined based on a result of polling the control plane devices; and \n based on the identifier data and service data associated with a service related to a user equipment that is to be served by the access point device, selecting a control plane device of the control plane devices to facilitate control plane establishment for the service.
