Abstract: System and method for selecting location data to be used as the location of a user device using a location-based service. Horizontal location data and vertical location data for the user device are obtained from multiple sources. A horizontal location uncertainty and a vertical location uncertainty are determined or obtained for each source. In response to determining that both the horizontal location uncertainty meets a threshold horizontal uncertainty value and the vertical location uncertainty meets a threshold vertical uncertainty value, the corresponding source is identified as compliant. In response to identifying at least one compliant source, an optimum compliant source is selected to provide as the location of the user device using the location-based service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for offering tenants the ability to purchase commoditized network resources in a next-generation, large-scale wireless communication network (e.g., a 5G or 6G cellular network) according to dynamic pricing. For example, the network can update pricing of commoditized network resources intelligently and dynamically based on present and/or predicted supply and/or demand of the network resources. The updated pricing is offered to tenants on a periodic or other basis, and the tenants can decide whether to purchase more or less of those resources based on the updated pricing. The network can adjust resource allocations to the tenants based on the updated purchase decisions. The network can also automatically adjust QoS parameters for the tenants to fit within their purchased resource allocations.

Abstract: Technologies for efficient handover in 5G networks are disclosed. An example method includes responsive to detecting that a user device is located in a geographic area with overlapping 5G coverage from a first gNB and a second gNB and that the user device is moving away from the first gNB's coverage toward the second gNB's coverage, determining to perform a light inter-gNB handover of the user device, and causing execution of the light inter-gNB handover by at least causing a physical switch from a physical CU-CP of the first gNB to a physical CU-CP of the second gNB, a logical switch from a logical CU-UP of the first gNB to a logical CU-UP of the second gNB, a logical switch from a logical DU of the first gNB to a logical DU of the second gBN, and a logical switch from a logical RU of the first gNB to a logical RU of the second gBN, wherein the logical switches are performed without transfer of context data associated with the user device.

Abstract: Technologies for managing interference between terrestrial network (TN) and non-terrestrial network (NTN) are disclosed. An example method includes determining a location of a user equipment (UE), assessing potential interference between TN and NTN based on the determined UE location and spectrum band coverage information of TN and NTN, acting on the UE's connection to the NTN or a request from the UE for connection to the NTN based on the assessed potential interference, and updating the spectrum band coverage information of TN and NTN.

Abstract: A multiple tenant architecture for providing location services in a wireless network. A method or system electronically defines, for each tenant of a plurality of tenants of the wireless network, customization parameters for one or more location services or location services systems. The customization parameters specify attributes or policies of the positioning technology used to locate the User Equipment (UE) devices and attributes or policies of the core network.

Abstract: Various arrangements for performing uplink grant-free transmissions are presented herein. An instance of user equipment (UE) may determine data that is to be transmitted using a grant-free (GF) uplink transmission to a base station of a cellular network. The UE may select a first GF resource block and a second GF resource block. The UE may transmit GF transmissions that comprise: a data payload and a first pointer at the first GF resource block; and the data payload and a second pointer at the second GF resource block. The first pointer may refer to the second GF resource block, while the second pointer may refer to the first GP resource block.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems a system that, in situations of detected heavy network congestion, by upgrading the respective quality of service (QoS) (e.g., aggregate maximum bit rate (AMBR)) provided to the subscriber that requested the increase (e.g., who paid for premium service) by a first amount in response to the request while also downgrading respective QoS attributes (AMBRs) provided to the other subscribers in the group by a collective total of a second amount. The second amount may be equal to the firs amount such that the first subscriber to which the QoS attribute upgrade (e.g., AMBR increase) was provided uses a larger portion of the total maximum bandwidth capacity than at least one of the other subscribers operating at the degraded respective QoS attribute (e.g., decreased AMBR).

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards network slicing for multi-tenant location based services in a wireless telecommunication network. For each tenant of the plurality of tenants of the network, the system receives a request from the tenant for location based services for mobile devices of the tenant operating on the respective network slice defined for the tenant. In response to the request, the system provides the customized location based services to the tenant based on the respective network slice being associated with one or more location based services network functions or location based services systems of the wireless telecommunication network, which provide geographical locations of mobile devices operating on the wireless telecommunication network. The location based services network functions or location based services systems may include the location management function (LMF) and the Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC) gateway node.
