PROVIDING LOW LATENCY TRAFFIC SEGREGATION FOR MOBILE EDGE COMPUTING NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS

Techniques that provide low latency traffic segregation to ensure an edge user plane (UP) is not overloaded are described herein in at least one embodiment. In at least one embodiment, a method may include determining offload of low latency traffic of a user equipment (UE) at a mobile network edge, wherein the UE has non-low latency traffic associated with a first packet data network session for an access point name; notifying the UE to request creation of a second packet data network session for the access point name; selecting an edge UP element to handle the low latency traffic for the second packet data network session; creating the second packet data network session at the selected edge UP element; and notifying the UE that second packet data network session is created.
