1. An apparatus of an Information Centric Networking gateway (ICN-GW) operable to modify an ICN message received from a user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation (5G) cellular network, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
encode aggregated ICN activity information for transmission to an Information Centric Networking control function (ICN-CF);
decode an ICN information response received from the ICN-CF;
decode, at the ICN-GW in the 5G cellular network, the ICN message received from the UE via a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) and an ICN point of attachment (ICN-PoA);
modify, at the ICN-GW, the ICN message to produce a modified ICN message; and
encode, at the ICN-GW, the modified ICN message to route the modified ICN message to a data network (DN); and
a memory interface configured to send to a memory the modified ICN message.
