Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for sending queries and commands related to an extended idle mode discontinuous reception operation (eIDRX). There are vendor and manufacturer specific mechanisms for determining the eIDRX parameters of different, but there is currently not a network wide, standardized protocol for sending AT commands relating to eIDRX for device. In an embodiment, standardized eIDRX protocol can enable a mobile network to query a device to determine the current eIDRX mode and parameters, to query the device about the list/range of supported parameters, and to program the device to start using a new eIDRX parameter

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards switching the primary cell in a carrier aggregation scenario to improve performance. Measurement data of a mobile device (user equipment) is evaluated with respect to one or more various criteria such as cell carrier bandwidth, cell carrier load, cell-related capability and other carrier data (e.g., dynamic spectrum sharing versus clean, time division duplex or frequency division duplex), and others. Device conditions such as overheating can be considered as well. The evaluation results in a ranking of primary cell candidates. If a more optimal primary cell (candidate) is available, the primary cell in the carrier aggregation combination is switched to the candidate that is ranked the highest. Switching can be relatively very fast, such as based on already existing layer-1 (L1) and/or layer-2 (L2) measurement data. Layer-3 (L3) measurement data also can be obtained on demand, for example, to use in the evaluation.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting initiation of a service associated with a UE, where the service comprises an OTT voice/video call, facilitating, for the service, activation of an end-to-end network slice between a core network and the UE, detecting a RAT switch determination for the UE, where the RAT switch determination relates to communicative coupling of the UE with a second network node, and where the second network node is associated with a second RAT different from the first RAT, responsive to the detecting the RAT switch determination, determining whether the service is ongoing over the end-to-end network slice, and, based on a determination that the service is ongoing over the end-to-end network slice, preventing the UE from communicatively coupling with the second network node until the service is determined to be completed or until the end-to-end network slice is released. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Facilitating notification and corrective actions related to endpoint quality of service losses in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can comprise determining, by a system comprising a processor, that a quality of service level for a mobile device within a communications network has degraded below a threshold quality of service level. The method also can comprise in response to the determining, selecting, by the system, an action to be performed at a mobile device. The action can increase the quality of service level for the mobile device above the threshold quality of service level. Further, the method can comprise providing, by the system and to the mobile device, information indicative of the action.

Abstract: Adaptive pairing of an access point (AP) slice with other computing resource slices is disclosed. Pairing of an AP slice can comprise pairing to a radio access network (RAN) slice and/or to a network core component (core) slice. The pairing can be based on end point device information, AP environment information, user preference information, and state information for a RAN and/or CN slice. Coordinating or synchronization of AP, RAN, and/or core slices can enable streamlining of migration of a device from an AP component to a RAN component. Moreover, AP slice coordination can enable efficient use of network computing resources tailored to needs of devices connecting to an AP device. A determined pairing, e.g., AP-core, AP-RAN-core, RAN-core, etc., can be modified before provisioning or after provisioning in response to changes in device demands and/or AP state/environment.
