Abstract: A geo-fencing system stores a geo-fence associated with a geographic location of a user equipment device (UE). The geo-fencing system receives, from a Network Exposure Function (NEF) or Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) in a mobile network, a monitoring event (MONTE) location report associated with a current location of the UE within the mobile network, and extracts a Radio Access Network (RAN) location from the MONTE location report, where the RAN location identifies a cell, cell sector, eNodeB (eNB), gNodeB (gNB), or tracking area (TA) associated with the current location of the UE. The geo-fencing system determines, based on a comparison of the identified cell, cell sector, eNB, gNB, or TA with the stored geo-fence, whether the UE has entered or exited the geo-fence, and sends, based on the determination, a geo-fence alert to the NEF or SCEF for forwarding to a geo-fencing enabled application.

Abstract: A User Equipment (“UE”) described herein may connect or request connection to a base station of a wireless network. The base station may implement multiple frequency bands, and connecting or requesting connection to the base station may include connecting or requesting connection via a particular frequency band of the multiple frequency bands. The UE may provide an indication of the particular frequency band to a core of the wireless network. The core may select a set of parameters for communications between the UE and the wireless network based on the indication of the particular frequency band. Additionally, or alternatively, the core may provide an indication of the particular frequency band to a device that provides a service to the UE via the wireless network, and the device may select parameters for the service based on the indication of the particular frequency band.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for network-based selection of a UE device's 5G operation mode. A network device in a wireless core network receives a policy query for a user equipment (UE) device. The UE device is capable of 5G non-standalone (NSA) and 5G standalone (SA) operation modes. The network device identifies one or more of subscription data for the UE device, stored network data associated with the UE device, or dynamic network data relevant to the UE device. The network device assigns, based on the identifying, a radio access technology/frequency selection and prioritization (RFSP) value for the UE device. The network device sends the RFSP value to an access management function in the wireless core network for controlling selection of the 5G NSA operation mode or 5G SA operation mode.

Abstract: A network device receives location information for a user equipment device (UE), an application identifier (ID), and a latency requirement associated with a data session involving the UE. The network device retrieves from a database, based on the UE's location information, the application ID, and the latency requirement, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) selection weight values associated with multiple MEC platforms. The network device selects a MEC platform, from among the multiple MEC platforms, based on the retrieved MEC selection weight values, and causes the data session to be established between the selected MEC platform and the UE.

Abstract: A system includes one or more devices. The devices are configured to: receive a message indicating that a network slice has been deployed in a network, wherein the message includes information related to the network slice; send the information to an application that provides services to User Equipment (UE) devices subscribed to the network; and initiate updates to UE route selection policies (URSPs) in the network based on the information, allowing communications from UE devices to reach the network slice.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice usage subscription service is provided. The network slice usage subscription service may allow a network device to obtain network slice usage information and event notifications. The event notification may indicate when an end device is using a network slice and when the end device is no longer the network slice. The network device may include an application function (AF) device. The network device may use the event notification to perform an operation relating to the network slice and/or the end device.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice usage service is provided. The network slice usage service may allow a network device to obtain a network slice usage value of a network slice. The network device may be implemented as a network data analytics function (NWDAF). The network slice usage value may be provided by an access and mobility management function (AMF). The network device may calculate a network slice load value based on the network slice usage value. The network device may also provide the network slice load value to other network devices of a core network, such as a network slice selection function (NSSF) and/or a policy control function (PCF).

Abstract: Systems described herein provide techniques for establishing and modifying user plane communications sessions between Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) User Equipment (“UE”) devices, connected to LTE base stations, and a Fifth Generation (“5G”) core network. An LTE-5G Interworking function (“LTE-5G IWF”) may logically generate a virtual 5G UE and/or 5G base station, map a LTE UE to the virtual 5G UE, and cause the establishment of a Protocol Data Unit (“PDU”) Session, at the 5G core network, with the virtual 5G UE. The LTE-5G IWF may provide PDU Session information to the LTE UE and base station to facilitate the establishment of user plane communications (e.g., via a tunnel) between the LTE UE and the 5G core network. The LTE-5G IWF may also receive modification parameters, such as Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, and provide instructions to the 5G core and/or to the LTE UE to handle traffic according to such parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) traffic breakout service to access an edge network. A network device receives reachability information for a user equipment (UE) device and sends, in response to receiving the reachability information, a reachability notification to a MEC orchestrator for the edge network. The network device receives, from the MEC orchestrator, a local breakout request that identifies a traffic flow authorized to receive local service from the edge network. The network device generates instructions for a gateway device to apply local breakout service, for the traffic flow, to a local MEC application in the edge network and sends the instructions to an anchoring gateway device for the traffic flow.
