    Abstract: A system for receiving, by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) device and from a packet data network gateway (PGW) device, a signaling message for a subscriber data session, the signaling message including first radio condition notification (RCN) data identifying an amount/level of data service throughput available at a location with respect to a radio access network (RAN); generating, responsive to the signaling message, a request for the subscriber's quality of service (QoS) and policy information; sending the request for QoS and policy information to a home subscriber server (HSS) device; receiving, from the HSS device, the subscriber's QoS and policies; determining, based on the QoS and policies and the amount/level of data service throughput, QoS and policy decisions applicable to the subscriber at the location; and sending the QoS and policy decisions to the PGW device for implementation via the RAN.

    Abstract: A network device may receive, a flow control request for a first device that is registered for an internet protocol (IP) pinhole service. The flow control request may include a device identifier associated with the first device and a private IP address. The network device may identify at least one of IP address information, port information, and pinhole rules. The network device may provide, to another network device, a flow control response that includes at least one of the IP address information, the port information, and the pinhole rules. The flow control response may cause the other network device to allow traffic flow through the firewall using at least one of the IP address information and the port information. The network device may provide a public IP address and a port identifier to a second device, allowing the second device to provide traffic to the first device.

    Abstract: A server device may store inter-layer quality of service (“QoS”) information, indicating a set of link layer QoS levels that are associated with a particular device, a set of network layer QoS levels that are associated with the set of link layer QoS levels, and a set of MPLS QoS levels that are associated with the set of link layer QoS levels. A network device may establish a set of bearers, that correspond to the set of link layer QoS levels, with a particular device; output information regarding the set of network layer QoS levels that are associated with the set of link layer QoS levels, to allow the particular device to select a bearer, of the set of bearers, via which to output traffic to the network device; receive, from the particular device, traffic via the bearer; and determine a particular MPLS QoS level associated with the received traffic.

    Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a user device, a registration request that includes a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI), identifying a network element to decode the SUCI and forwarding the SUCI to the identified network element. The method may also include decoding the SUCI to identify a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI), identifying a unified data management (UDM) device associated with the SUPI and transmitting an authentication request to the identified UDM device to obtain authentication information associated with the user device. The method may further include receiving the authentication information and authenticating the user device based on the received authentication information.

    Abstract: A system described herein may identify traffic to be processed by a gateway device. The system may evaluate one or more parameters of the traffic based on a first set of conditions, and identify a first condition that is applicable to the traffic. The system may evaluate, based on identifying the first condition, the one or more parameters based on a second set of conditions and identify a second condition, of the second set of conditions, that is applicable to the traffic. The system may further identify one or more actions to perform with respect to the traffic based on the identified first and second conditions, and instruct the gateway device to perform the one or more actions on the traffic prior to outputting the traffic from the gateway device.

    Abstract: A network device, such as a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (PGW), may receive network traffic, determine traffic processing services associated with a subscriber corresponding to the traffic, and identify a sequence of external traffic processing components to provide traffic processing services as though the external traffic processing components where part of the core network. The network device may modify the traffic in accordance with the sequence of external traffic processing components and forward the traffic to the first external traffic processing component of the sequence. The network device may later receive the traffic from the last external traffic processing component of the sequence, process the traffic in accordance with instructions provided by the external traffic processing components, and forward the traffic in accordance with a destination address of the traffic.
