Abstract: A network repository function (NRF) device may receive first locality and priority information concerning a first network function device from the first network function device and may receive second locality and priority information concerning a second network function device from the second network function device. The NRF device may update a data structure based on the first locality and priority information and the second locality and priority information. The NRF device may receive a query concerning a locality from a third network function device and may search the data structure based on the query to identify network function device information associated with the locality. The NRF device may send the network function device information to the third network function device.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may enable a wireless telecommunications network to implement different types of core networks, and enable end devices—user equipment (UEs) such as broadband devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) and Internet of Things (IoT)/Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices (sometimes referred to herein as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) devices)—to connect to whichever core network is most suitable to the capabilities of the UE. For example, a broadband core network may provide UEs with broadband connectivity for media sessions (e.g., telephone calls, video calls, etc.) and broadband Internet access. An M2M core network may provide UEs with network connectivity consistent with the lower resource usage patterns typical M2M devices. Additionally, a UE connected to a first core network (e.g., an M2M core network) may detect a prompt to connect to a second core network (e.g., a broadband core network), and in response, may dynamically switch to the second core network.

Abstract: In some implementations, a service communication proxy (SCP) network function device may receive, from a first network function device, a service request associated with a second network function device. The SCP network function device may transmit an access token request to a network repository function (NRF) network function device. The SCP network function device may receive, based on the access token request, an access token associated with the first network function device. The SCP network function device may transmit the service request to the second network function device, wherein the service request is transmitted to the second network function device with an indication of the access token.

Abstract: A quality of service traffic steering approach for multi-access edge computing (MEC) environments is disclosed. In an embodiment, a network exposure function (NEF) or similar device (e.g., MEC controller or orchestrator) monitors a quality of service (QoS) of a data session between a user equipment (UE) and an application. The NEF then can determine when the QoS of the data session does not meet a requested service level agreement (SLA). When the SLA is not met, the NEF identifies a MEC host that meets the SLA using a database of MEC applications. Based on the identified MEC host, the NEF re-routes the data session to the MEC host.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide binding support function (BSF) service registration and discovery for environments using oversubscribed network addresses. A network device in a core network receives a registration request from a binding support device. The registration request includes a binding group identifier associated with the binding support device. The network device stores, based on the registration request, a profile for the binding support device that includes the binding group identifier and receives, from a policy control device, a discovery request for a that includes a unique identifier of user equipment (UE) device. The network device provides, to the policy control device, a response to the discovery request that identifies the binding support device.

Abstract: A network device of a core network may maintain a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs), and may receive, from a user device, a request for service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table. The network device may identify a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service, and may generate a flow request based on the particular SPID. The network device may cause the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device, to cause the RAN to select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device.

Abstract: A computer device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to host a network function container that implements a microservice for a network function in a wireless communications network, wherein the network function container is deployed by a container orchestration platform; host a service proxy container associated with the network function container, wherein the service proxy container is deployed by the container orchestration platform; and configure the hosted service proxy container to apply a wireless network policy to the microservice for the network function. The processor may be further configured to intercept messages associated with the microservice for the network function using the configured service proxy container; and apply the wireless network policy to the intercepted messages using the configured service proxy container.
