Abstract: A system includes an updated network function and a consumer network function. The updated network function includes a recent update and is configured to register at a Network Repository Function (NRF) using a Network Function (profile (NF profile). The NF profile indicates a network function type (NF type) and a first priority associated with the update. The consumer network function is configured to: receive a message from a network component; determine to engage a service of a network function of the NF type based on the message; determine a desired priority for the service; and send a discovery request to the NRF in response to the message; receive a search result from the NRF in response to the discovery request. The search result has a list of candidate network functions of the NF type.

Abstract: A system in wireless core network obtains a group policy to support background data transfer for a group of user equipment (UEs) associated with a common network area identifier. The system maps the network area identifier to one or more of a mobility management entity (MME) device and a packet data network gateway (PGW) device. The system generates a configuration command to enforce the group policy by the one or more of the MME device or the PGW device and configures, based on the configuration command, the one or more of the MME device or the PGW device to enforce the group policy.

Abstract: A method is provided for enforcing quality of service parameters. A gateway receives a request for data usage from a mobile device. The gateway sends, to a controller, inquiry for allowed bit rate. Upon receiving a first bit rate value, the gateway sends, to a charging system, request for quota. In response to receiving the quota, the gateway provides data to the mobile device based on the first bit rate value. The gateway provides data to the mobile device until the quota is exhausted. Once a data usage threshold is reached, the gateway receives, from the controller, a second bit rate value. In response to receiving the second bit rate value, the gateway provides data to the mobile device based on the second bit rate value, until an activation-time is reached. When the activation-time is reached, the gateway resets the allowed bit rate to the first bit rate value.

Abstract: A device may: receive, from a first network device, an indication that a user equipment device (UE) has established an Internet Protocol (IP) session through a network; subscribe to a notification service, at the first network device, that indicates whether the UE is reachable; determine that quality-of-service (QoS) for the UE needs to be modified; send a first request, to the first network device, to modify a bearer for the UE in response to the determination that the QoS for the UE needs to be modified; receive a first reply, from the first network device, that the QoS for the UE has failed because the UE is unreachable; receive a notification, from the notification service at the first network device, that the UE is reachable; determine whether the QoS for the UE still needs to be modified in response to the notification; and send a second request to the first network device in response to determining whether the QoS for the UE still needs to be modified.
