1. An apparatus comprising;

  • memory having instructions; and

    processing circuitry coupled with the memory to execute the instructions to;

    generate, for transmission to a remote entity executing on a remote computing device in communication with the apparatus over an air interface of an evolved universal terrestrial access network (“

    EUTRAN”

    ), a container that includes user equipment (“

    UE”

    ) or evolved Node B (“

    eNB”

    ) configuration data, or over-the-top (“

    OTT”

    ) application configuration data; and

    cause transmission of the container through a logical tunnel between a local processing entity executing on the apparatus and the remote entity;

    wherein;

    the logical tunnel passes through, and resides on a data plane of, the air interface, and a public data network (“

    PDN”

    ) connection separate from other PDN connections associated with a UE is established for the logical tunnel; and

    the container includes;

    type indication to indicate a type of information encapsulated in the container and further includes an indication of a platform of the UE, a hardware capability of the UE, or an application executed by the UE;

    an inactivity time interval associated with the UE and is addressed to an application function executing on another remote computing device;

    or Quality of Experience (“

    QoE”

    ) feedback for delivery to an application function.
