Abstract
A method and system for configuring a fifth generation (5G) network may include utilizing software-defined networking (SDN) for separating a data plane from a control plane of a 5G network. The separated control plane may be run across a low earth orbit (LEO) system between an edge network and a core network of the 5G network such that the LEO system exclusively directs the control plane. A pathway for the data plane may be determined and generated by the LEO system exclusively using the control plane. In some examples, SDN control may be established exclusively on a LEO system based on a service request. A pathway for the data plane from a first location to a second location may be determined and generated based on the service request and the control of the control plane on the LEO system.
