Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network access management service is provided. The service may include modifying subscription data pertaining to an end device. The modification may include control data directed to remediating behavior of the end device. The service may provide the control data to the end device during a registration procedure or a deregistration procedure with the end device. The end device may execute a remedial procedure based on the control data. The service may prevent the registering of the end device to the core network. The service may deregister the end device from the core network when the end device may be registered.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request from a user equipment (UE) device, and obtaining, by the AMF, at least one of subscriber-related information associated with the UE device or information associated with the UE device from a charging function (CHF). The method may also include determining, by the AMF and based on the obtained information, whether to establish an access and mobility (AM) policy association for the UE device. The method may further include initiating, in response to determining that the AM policy association for the UE device is to be established, the AM policy association for the UE device.

Abstract: A system described herein may output a first access policy request associated with a User Equipment (“UE”). The system may receive a first access policy in response to the first access policy request, and may identify, after receiving the first access policy, that the first access policy has expired. The system may output, based on identifying that the first access policy has expired, a second access policy request associated with the UE, may receive a second access policy in response to the second access policy request, and may output the second access policy to at least one of the UE, or a radio access network (“RAN”) to which the UE is connected. The RAN may provide access to the UE in accordance with the first access policy until receiving the second access policy, after which the RAN may provide access to the UE in accordance with the second access policy.

Abstract: A network device may receive a request for authentication data, for a UE attempting to register with a network, and an indication that a SUCI utilized by the UE is unencrypted, and may request, from a data store, the authentication data for the UE. The network device may provide, to the data store, a notification instructing the data store to push a UE parameters update (UPU) once a registration process is complete for the UE, and may receive the authentication data from the data store. The network device may complete the registration process for the UE based on the authentication data, and may receive the UPU from the data store based on the registration process being completed. The network device may cause the UE to detach from the network after utilizing the UPU, and may cause the UE to reconnect to the network with an encrypted SUCI.

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 network device transmits data to a user equipment (UE) via a first Radio Access Network (RAN) using first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) congestion control parameters. The network device receives a notification message indicating that the UE has moved from the first RAN to a second RAN. The network device modifies, responsive to receipt of the notification, the first TCP congestion control parameters to create second TCP congestion control parameters, where the first TCP congestion control parameters include a first slow start threshold (ssthresh), and wherein the second TCP congestion control parameters include a second ssthresh that is different than the first ssthresh. The network device transmits data to the UE via the second RAN using the second TCP congestion control parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include receiving, at a network device and from a session management device, a first message that includes a first identifier associated with a subscriber and a second identifier associated with a first service that is charged using an online charging system. The network device transmits a second message that indicates a first time period in which to report data usage associated with the first service and a second time period in which to report data usage associated with one or more second services that are charged using an offline charging system. The network device receives first data usage information associated with the first service after the first time period and second data usage information associated with the one or more second services after the second time period. The network device processes the data usage information.

Abstract: A network device for a mobile carrier network sends, to a third-party content platform, a client message including a first dedicated subscription parameter extension. The first dedicated subscription parameter extension indicates one or more subscription parameters for a data flow between a user equipment (UE) device that originated the client message and the third-party content platform. The network device receives, from the third-party content platform, a server message including a second dedicated subscription parameter extension. The second dedicated subscription parameter extension confirms the third-party content platform will abide by the one or more subscription parameters. The network device generates, based on the one or more subscription parameters, a policy enforcement rule for the data flow that relies, at least in part, on cooperation of the third-party content platform.

Abstract: A device receives, from a policy control function (PCF) in a wireless network, at least one set of user equipment device (UE)-location based conditional policy rules. The device determines a geographic location of a UE connected to the wireless network and applies one of the set of UE-location based conditional policy rules to traffic associated with the UE based on the determined geographic location.
