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: Network devices may receive a Transport Control Protocol (TCP) segment from a user device. The TCP segment includes a TCP header and a payload, and the payload includes either a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) plaintext message or a Secure HTTP (HTTPS) encrypted message. The network devices may extract a TCP Synchronization (SYN) signature from the TCP header and determine whether the payload of the TCP segment includes a HTTP plaintext message or a HTTPS encrypted message. When the payload includes a HTTP plaintext message, the network devices may extract contents of a HTTP User-Agent field from the HTTP plaintext message, determine a device type identifier (ID) and a category ID based on the extracted contents, and update a plurality of device signatures based on the TCP signature, the device type ID, and the category ID.

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: A method for performing authorization for network function registration. The method includes instantiating a network function (NF) based on at least one micro-service; providing a software module with each of the at least one micro-service; sending, from each software module, an authorization code to a NF authorization platform, where the authorization code is associated with the micro-service; forwarding the at least one authorization code received at the NF authorization platform to an NF registration function (NRF); sending, from the NF, a service registration request to the NRF, where the service registration request includes each authorization code associated with the at least one micro-service; and registering the NF with the NRF, where the NRF validates each authorization code received from the NF.

The LTE-5G IWF may also maintain a 5G context, including the information of the virtual 5G UE and/or 5G base station, based on the actual location of the LTE UE and/or an LTE base station to which the LTE UE is connected. The LTE-5G IWF may further update this context, including location information, when the LTE UE is handed over from one LTE base station to another.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for utilizing designed market access (DMA) zones in conjunction with mobile networks so as to enable secure, appropriate read/write access to streaming content. The disclosed systems and methods enable a mapping of an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a particular geolocation node of a mobile network, whereby a DMA for such node can be identified/determined. Accordingly, the DMA can be leveraged for monitoring a customer user's location respective to streaming service/media access requests.

Abstract: A system described herein may maintain first information associating Uniform Resource Locator (“URLs”) with respective Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses of one or more edge computing devices. The system may maintain second information associating User Equipment (“UE”) identifiers with one or more locations. The system may receive a request, from a UE, including an identifier of the UE and a URL, may identify a location of the particular UE based on the identifier of the particular UE, and may compare the URL to the URLs included in the first information. The system may select a particular edge computing device based on the location of the particular UE, and may output, in response to the request, a particular IP address of the selected edge computing device.

Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to detect that an Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) tunnel from a user equipment (UE) device connected via a WiFi connection has become idle, based on the IPsec tunnel meeting an idleness criterion, and instruct the UE device to tear down the IPsec tunnel, in response to detecting that the IPsec tunnel from the UE device connected via the WiFi connection meets the idleness criterion. The device may be further configured to receive a mobile terminating call for the UE device; establish a new IPsec tunnel to the UE device via the WiFi connection, in response to receiving the mobile terminating call for the UE device; and forward the received mobile terminating call to the UE device via the established new IPsec tunnel.
