[Barcelona, Spain, March 13, 2025] GSMA, Huawei, and other industry partners officially released a new Intelligent Packet Core white paper — Unlock 5G Potential: How Intelligent Packet Core Drives 5G Monetisation. This white paper systematically describes the application scenarios, and commercial processes of experience monetization. It details how the Intelligent Packet Core drives operators toward an era of experience monetization.

Intelligent Packet Core white paper

According to the white paper, with the deep convergence of ever-developing 5G-A and AI technologies, digital transformation is profoundly changing the ways we live and work. And, while enjoying high-speed network services, users now have ever-higher expectations for personalized and differentiated service experiences, more so than ever before.

The white paper also charts the industry's progress in this regard. It notes that, as 5G deployment scales up, operators are becoming more capable of providing differentiated services. The introduction of the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) to the core network, integrating AI capabilities, is a way of breaking the bottleneck of experience monetization. And, technical solutions, such as the dynamic UE logo function, enhance user awareness. It then describes how AI technologies penetrate the Intelligent Packet Core to help the network accurately identify user and service types, evaluate user experiences in real time, and dynamically guarantee user experiences. This advancement is deemed to accelerate operators' transformation toward experience monetization.

According to the white paper, the AI-enabled Intelligent Packet Core has a wide range of business scenarios, such as cloud gaming, video conferencing, and live streaming assurance. The white paper also shows the network's significant advantages in smart high-speed railway and large event assurance. In addition, in the future, it can be used for vertical industries such as manufacturing and transportation, deepening the integration of 5G-A with more industries.

World-leading operators have proactively started to explore business monetization of the Intelligent Packet Core. The white paper details how operators in multiple regions, such as the China region, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, have completed Proof of Concept (PoC) tests or commercialized business monetization, offering valuable experience for the industry.

To fully unleash the business value of the Intelligent Packet Core, the white paper identifies the need forparties in the industry chain to strengthen collaborative innovation between terminals and networks and improve service experiences. Additionally, all parties are expected to continue to explore new scenarios and business opportunities for network intelligence, as well as promote the wide adoption and ceaseless evolution of the Intelligent Packet Core.
