1. A first edge compute server of a core network, comprising:
a processor of the first edge compute server of the core network configured to:
receive an identity for each of a plurality of user equipment, respectively, that each have a radio resource control (RRC) connection to a first radio unit of the core network;
request, from a unified data repository server serving the first radio unit of the core network, a plurality of sets of attributes associated with the plurality of user equipment, respectively;
receive, from the unified data repository server, the plurality of sets of attributes;
determine, based on the plurality of sets of attributes, an attribute for which to cache content;
request, from the unified data repository server, a plurality of content identifiers associated with the attribute;
receive, from the unified data repository server, the plurality of content identifiers;
cause content identified by the plurality of content identifiers to be cached; and
in response to a release of the RRC connection of a first user equipment of the plurality of user equipment to the first radio unit, remove a first set of attributes associated with the first user equipment from the plurality of sets of attributes; and
a memory of the first edge compute server of the core network configured to:
store the content identified by the plurality of content identifiers.
