    Abstract: An example system and method may manage interference to facilitate the coexistence of terrestrial and non-terrestrial wireless networks. An example system may determine frequency bands assigned to adjacent satellites or satellite services and determine an interference characteristic of the frequency bands used by the adjacent satellites. The system may select a frequency band for use by a reference satellite in a reference geographic region based on the frequency bands assigned to the adjacent satellites. In some instances, the system may instruct the reference satellite to use the selected frequency band for communication with a wireless client device in the reference geographic region.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for selecting, in a Fifth Generation (5G) cellular telecommunication network, a User Plane Function (UPF) of a plurality of UPFs on which to anchor a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session of a new user equipment (UE) newly appearing on the cellular telecommunication network. The selection is based on: a location of the new UE; a plurality of current loads for each UPF of the plurality of UPFs; a predicted UE load of the new UE based on network data analytics; and predicted UPF loads of the plurality of UPFs as a function of time considering the predicted UE load based on network data analytics from the Network Data Analytics Function. In the UPF selection, the Session Management Function (SMF) gives higher priority to shorter term predicted loads than longer term predicted loads.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards embodiments are directed toward systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to migrate a set of network functions between control planes of network slices and include a network slice A that includes a first set of a plurality of network functions in a control plane associated with a legacy vendor; a network slice B that includes a second set of the plurality of network functions in the control plane associated with a new vendor wherein the second set of the plurality of network functions includes a subset of the first set of the plurality of network functions in the control plane of network slice A; and a migration management unit to manage a gradual staged transfer of a subset of the plurality of network functions originally contained in the control plane of the network slice A to the control plane of network slice B wherein the gradual transfer is a migration of the plurality of network functions in a set of multiple stages to create the subset of the plurality of network functions in the control plane of slice B wherein each gradual staged transfer includes the migration of a reduced subset of the plurality of network functions contained in the control plane of the network slice A reconfigured to the control plane of the network slice B.
