User plane acceleration service for next-generation cellular networks

Reducing end-to-end latency is a key requirement for efficient and reliable new services offered by next-generation mobile networks. In this context, it is critical for mobile network operators (MNOs) to enable faster communications over backhaul transport networks between next-generation base stati...

In this context, it is critical for mobile network operators (MNOs) to enable faster communications over backhaul transport networks between next-generation base stations and core networks.

This paper presents a new approach to reduce the dependence of MNOs services on the quality of transport networks and rely on software updates on radio access network and core network components.
