Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to determine, in a core network associated with a radio access network, that a user equipment (UE) device, associated with an enterprise, has attached to the core network via a base station in the radio access network. The processor may be further configured to obtain a mapping between a plurality of applications associated with the enterprise and a plurality of Quality of Service (QoS) classes; identify an application, of the plurality of applications, for a communication session associated with the UE device; select a QoS class, from the plurality of QoS classes based on the identified application and the obtained mapping; and process messages associated with the communication session based on the selected QoS class.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an scheduling service is provided. The scheduling service includes calculation of a priority value, on a per end device basis, based on throughput information and tuning parameter values. The priority value may also be calculated based on a radio access network slice weight. The scheduling service may calculate a schedule for transmission of data to an end device based on the priority value, available network resources, and a quality of service profile associated with a quality of service flow of the end device.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an binding information service is provided. The binding information service may include applying one or multiple criteria to binding information stored by a binding service function. The binding information service may identify candidate binding information instances that may need deletion based on the one or multiple criteria. The binding information service may interrogate a policy control network device as to the current registrability of the binding information. The binding information service may delete or maintain the binding information based on a result of the interrogation. The binding information service may also include directing the binding service function to delete binding information based on one or multiple criteria. The one or multiple criteria may relate to the age of the binding information or a last time the registrability of the binding information was confirmed.

Abstract: Systems and methods implement closed loop analytics feedback for a transport network. A network device, such as a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), receives, from a commissioning network function, an analytic information request for analytic event information and sends, to the commissioning network function, an analytic report that is responsive to the analytic information request wherein the analytic report includes a unique analytic report identifier. The network device receives, from the commissioning network function, a feedback event message that includes the analytic report identifier and a change description for a network parameter change influenced by the analytic report.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the handover of a User Equipment (“UE”) from a first Distributed Unit (“DU”) of a wireless network to a second DU in a manner that minimizes or interruption of the delivery of traffic to the UE. When the UE is attached to a first DU, one or more second DUs may be identified as candidates for attachment to the UE. The one or more second DUs may be pre-loaded with context information and/or traffic for the UE. In some embodiments, a third mesh DU (“MDU”) may be identified as a candidate for attachment to a first MDU that is attached to a second MDU. The third MDU may be pre-loaded with context information and/or traffic for the first MDU.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a hybrid network device to serve as a zero- or low-latency relay for communications between a wireless network, such as a licensed wireless network, and one or more other devices. The hybrid network device may establish a connection with a base station of a wireless network via a licensed radio access technology (“RAT”). The hybrid network device may communicate with one or more devices via an unlicensed RAT. The hybrid network device of some embodiments may aggregate communications from devices and may serve as a single connection endpoint with respect to the base station, such that the base station need not maintain a relatively large number of connections to accommodate a relatively large quantity devices.

Abstract: Examples described herein involve an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) network. An example process may include receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request for an IMS session. The IMS session may be between the IMS network and the UE. The process may include requesting a subscriber management component to provide platform information associated with the IMS session. The platform information may identify a platform device that hosts a user plane function (UPF) for the IMS session. The process may include receiving, from the subscriber management component, the platform information and selecting, based on the platform information, a user plane component of the IMS network. The user plane component may perform a user plane operation associated with the IMS session. The process may include causing the user plane component to perform the user plane operation for the IMS session.

Abstract: A charging function device may include a processor configured to obtain subscription information associated with a user equipment (UE) device in a wireless communication network. The processor may be further configured to receive, from a gateway device, data flow information relating to data flows associated with the UE device; receive, from a policy device, policy information relating to policies applied to the data flows associated with the UE device; generate a record for the UE device based on the received data flow information and the received policy information, wherein the record identifies at least one account charge based on a particular data flow associated with the UE device; and provide the generated charging record to an account system.
