Abstract
The control plane for mobile wireless (eg. cellular) networks faces challenges with respect to scaling, robustness, and handling of bursty traffic. In this paper, we take a cloud-native approach to building a mobile control plane, employing a design that maps transitions of device state to serverless functions. Using a prototype of the LTE/EPC Mobility Management Entity (MME), we demonstrate how to architect a mobile control plane using serverless computing primitives. We demonstrate the practicality of this approach, which differs significantly from designs based on traditional telecom infrastructure.
