Abstract
Techniques are described for a distributed and modular Non-Access Stratum (NAS) architecture in which NAS processing is offloaded from an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) to one or more NAS agents. The NAS agents enable direct communication between network functions and user equipment, reducing dependence on the AMF for signaling and scaling. This architecture improves scalability, resiliency, and signaling efficiency, lowers latency, and helps avoid centralized bottlenecks and single points of failure in next-generation networks.
