Abstract: A communication network includes an access network element that
delivers data to/from the user and an associated core network element
providing connectivity with the application servers. Multiconnectivity
scenarios are common where a device can be simultaneously connected to
multiple communication networks based on different technology
implementations and network architectures like WiFi, LTE, DSL. A smart
combination and selection of access and core network paths that can
dynamically adapt to changing network conditions can improve quality
of experience for a user in a multiconnectivity scenario and improve
overall network utilization and efficiency. This document presents the
problem statement and proposes solution principles. It specifies the
requirements and reference architecture for a multi access management
services framework that can be used to flexibly select the best
combination of uplink and downlink access and core network paths,
ensuring better network efficiency and enhanced application
performance.
