Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate wireless wide area (WWA) virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) (e.g., 5G) to wireless local area (WLA) RAN (e.g., Wi-Fi) steering or WLA RAN to WWA vRAN steering for one or more UE. In one example, a method may include obtaining first performance metrics associated with links of a WWA vRAN (e.g., fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul links); obtaining second performance metrics associated with links WLA RAN (e.g., backhaul links); and in response to determining that one of the WWA vRAN is experiencing degraded performance based on the first performance metrics or the WLA RAN the second performance metrics, activating a steering event that causes, at least in part, an indication to be communicated to a UE to cause the UE to connect to the WWA vRAN or the WLA RAN that is not experiencing degraded performance.

Abstract: A Radio Access Network (RAN) element provides an internet indication to a User Equipment (UE) to enable the UE to quickly obtain internet access. The RAN element determines that the RAN element is connected to at least one gateway that provides public internet access, and broadcasts an internet indication. The RAN element determines that the UE has requested public internet access via the RAN element and provides the UE with public internet access.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to provide for the ability to optimize the caching of Fast Transition (FT) hierarchical keys based on a derived or statically defined neighbor relationship between wireless wide area (WWA) access network nodes and wireless local area (WLA) access network nodes and also user equipment (UE) mobility triggers in the WWA access network. In one example, a method may include instructing a UE to report detection of a WLA access network and based, at least in part, on obtaining a notification via a WWA access node indicating UE detection of the WLA access network, identifying WLA access nodes that neighbor the WWA access node. The method may further include generating FT key material for the UE and communicating a portion of the FT key material to the WLA access nodes that neighbor the WWA access node to facilitate authenticating the UE to the WLA access network.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate fast roaming between a mobile network operator-public (MNO-public) wireless wide area (WWA) access network and an enterprise private WWA access network. In one example, a method is provided that may include generating, by an authentication node, authentication material for a user equipment (UE) based on the UE being connected to a public WWA access network, wherein the public WWA access network is associated with a mobile network operator, and the authentication node and the UE are associated with an enterprise entity; obtaining, by the authentication node, an indication that the UE is attempting to access a private WWA access network associated with the enterprise entity; and providing, by the authentication node, the authentication material for the UE, wherein the authentication material facilitates connection establishment between the UE and the private WWA access network.

Abstract: A method is performed at a server that manages embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles. The method includes, when a user equipment that belongs to a global enterprise network relocates from a first locale to a second locale in which a first private network and a second private network of the global enterprise network are located, wherein the user equipment includes a locale-specific first eSIM profile that includes a first non-public network identifier of the first private network, receiving, from the user equipment over a network in the second locale, information that indicates the user equipment is in the second locale. The method further includes identifying the second private network based on the information, and generating a locale-specific second eSIM profile that includes a second non-public network identifier for the second private network. The method includes configuring the user equipment with the locale-specific second eSIM profile.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate dual-connectivity support for a user equipment (UE) in a hybrid cell virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) architecture. In one example, a method may include obtaining, by a node of a mobile network via a first cell of a RAN, a request for a UE to connect to the mobile network via the first cell in which the RAN includes at least one shared cell and at least one unique cell; determining that the UE is allowed for dual-connectivity operation; and providing a policy to the UE, wherein the policy identifies, for each of one or more applications, one of a shared cell operating mode or a unique cell operating mode that the UE is to utilize for each of the one or more applications.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate the configuration of hybrid cells to support shared cell and unique cell operating modes for user equipment. In one example, a method may include obtaining a registration request for a user equipment (UE) in which the mobile network includes a radio access network (RAN) comprising a plurality of radio units (RUs) in which each RU provides a shared cell that is shared with at least one other RU and each RU also provides a unique cell that is not shared with any other RU. The method may further include determining an operating mode for the UE in which the operating mode indicates whether the UE is to operate in a shared cell or a unique cell operating mode, and facilitating connection of the UE to one of the shared cell or the unique cell of an RU based on the operating mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for inter-network messaging among private and public 5G networks. For instance, a first server on a public 5G mobile network can receive a first message directed to a first wireless device associated with a first network identity. The first server can determine, based on the first network identity, that the first wireless device is associated with a second network identity, wherein the second network identity is used to identify the first wireless device on a private 5G mobile network. The first server can send a copy of the first message to a second server on the private 5G mobile network for transmission to the first wireless device through the private 5G mobile network based on the second network identity.

Abstract: Multi-link selection based on Transmit Power Control (TPC) may be provided. A computing device may receive Multi-Link Device (MLD) association information associated with a client device. The MLD association information may describe MLD links the client device may require. A set of MLD links available on a network may be determined based on the MLD association information. The determined set of MLD links may then be sent to the client device.
