Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for reestablishing sequencing after connection loss between a Distributed Subscriber Database and a 5G Core. One such method including: recording authentication sequence numbers from the Distributed Subscriber Database to the distributed 5G Cores using a distributed ledger of a blockchain; in response to a lost connection between a 5G Core of the plurality of 5G Cores and the Distributed Subscriber Database, enabling the 5G Core to operate from a local copy of the Distributed Subscriber Database; reconnecting the lost connection between the 5G Core of the plurality of 5G Cores and the Distributed Subscriber Database; accessing the recorded sequence numbers from the Distributed Subscriber Database using the distributed ledger of the blockchain; and obviating the number sequencing issue between the Distributed Subscriber Database and the reconnected 5G Core of the plurality of 5G Cores using the recorded authentication sequence numbers in the distributed ledger of the blockchain.

Abstract: This invention flexibly controls the number of user planes in a communication system. In a communication system, a base station is in a local area network and at least one user plane function arranged in a cloud are connected. A determination is made as to whether or not a new user plane function should be added, taking into consideration: the traffic amount, from the maximum traffic amount using the local area network, of user data transferred by the at least one user plane function using the local area network; and an anticipated traffic amount of a new user plane function.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for user equipment (UE) transmission adaptation after physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) misdetection. Instead of the cell base station (e.g., gNB) transmitting a new grant with exactly the same parameters as a first grant transmission that failed to receive a response from the user equipment (UE), the gNB transmits a new transmission with an adjusted DCI and/or an adjusted grant to increase a probability that the expected uplink (UL) transmission is received from the UE. For example, a gNB may transmit a new DCI with a new Aggregation Level (AL) indicating a new UL grant to cause one or more of: an increase in UL power spectral density (PSD) on the PUSCH; a reduction in a number of allocated resource blocks (RB); a reduction in transport block size (TBS); a reduction in a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) to use for the UE transmission; and use of different redundancy versions (RV) for retransmissions.

Abstract: Various arrangements for obtaining a cellular network address are presented herein. A request can be received from a network function residing outside of a cellular network core. The request can indicate an external Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a piece of user equipment (UE). A network exposure function (NEF) of the cellular network core can route the request to a user plane function (UPF) of the cellular network core. The UPF can determine a cellular network address for the UE that corresponds to the external IP address. The NEF can transmit an indication of the determined cellular network address to the network function.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method performed by a first Access Point (AP) device of a private network that communicates with a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication radio access network (RAN). The method includes transmitting one or more first messages using a first licensed frequency band; receiving one or more second messages using the first licensed frequency band; receiving data for a user equipment device; determining a second AP device of the private network to which the data for the user equipment device is to be transmitted based on the one or more second messages; and transmitting the data for the user equipment device to the second AP device of the private network using a second licensed frequency band or an unlicensed frequency band.

Abstract: Various arrangements for generating and distributing a grandmaster timing signal for a cellular network are presented herein. A base station can generate a grandmaster clock timing signal based on a signal received by a global navigation satellite system receiver of the base station and a clock signal of a local oscillator of the base station. This grandmaster timing signal may be transmitted to a distributed unit of the base station. This grandmaster timing signal can also be transmitted, via a network, to each base station of a plurality of base stations of the cellular network.

Abstract: Various arrangements for implementing a cellular network slice using a template are provided. Some number of client slice parameters can be defined by a client. Based on these parameters, a predefined cellular network slice template can be selected from a library of predefined cellular network slice templates. A new cellular network slice is then defined using the selected predefined cellular network slice. Cellular network access can be granted to the client via the defined cellular network slice and feedback on the performance of the cellular network slice is provided. Based on the client feedback and parameters of the defined cellular network slice, the predefined cellular network slice template in the slice template library is updated.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards facilitating intelligent mobility including session and handover management within communications networks. Handovers for user devices in a network are predicted, current and predicted status data of the network are obtained, and a tradeoff between a cost for pre-allocation of resources prior to predicted handovers and a gain in quality of service is analyzed based on the current and predicted status data to cause resource pre-allocation in the network.
