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 device may receive, from an application function device (AF), a message intended for a destination user device, wherein the message conforms to a first format. The device may obtain, from a unified data management device (UDM), information indicating that the destination user device is capable of receiving messages that conform to a second format. The device may convert, based on the information indicating that the destination user device is capable of receiving messages that conform to the second format, the message from the first format to the second format. The device may send, after converting the message from the first format to the second format, the message to a short message service function device (SMSF) via a direct connection between the device and the SMSF, wherein the SMSF sends the message to the destination user device.

Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may receive an identifier associated with an application server. The network device may associate the identifier with a service profile associated with a network slice based on a quality of service associated with the network slice. The network device may provide, to a device associated with the application server, information indicating that the identifier is associated with the service profile. The network device may receive address information associated with the application server. The network device may associate the address information with the service profile. The network device may provide service profile information to a security device included in a core network to cause the security device to forward traffic transmitted by the application server toward a destination via the network slice. The service profile information may include an identifier associated with the service profile, the identifier, and the address information.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for an inter-segment Network Function (“NF”) discovery procedure in a network that includes multiple discrete network segments. The network segments may each include a respective set of NFs. An NF discovery request may include discovery parameters such as an identifier of a User Equipment (“UE”). Network segments may be checked in a sequential or hierarchical manner to determine whether a respective network segment includes an instance of the requested NF that matches the discovery parameters (e.g., is associated with the UE identified in the NF discovery request).

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user equipment (UE), authentication data that includes user information associated with a user of the UE. The device may determine whether the user is authorized to make requests to a service. The device may grant access to the user to make requests to the service. The device may receive, from the UE, a request that is intended for the service. The request may relate to an action that is to be performed by the service. The device may determine whether the user has permission to request the action. The device may provide the request to the service. The device may receive, from the service, a response to the request. The device may provide, to the UE, the response.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are provided to store traffic management data that indicates different levels of congestion that are each correlated to a different category of application of an end device, a type of congestion mechanism including at least one of access class barring, enhanced access class barring, service specific access control, application specific congestion control for data communication, or unattended and background data traffic, and barring parameters; receive a request for wireless service; obtain a level of congestion; determine that the request cannot be granted based on the level of congestion; select one of the levels of congestion based on the level of congestion; generate a first barring message based on the type of congestion mechanism, barring parameters, and category of application correlated to the one of the levels of congestion; and transmit the first barring message to the end devices.

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 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.

Abstract: A network device may receive a request to connect to a network from a user equipment device and perform a first admission control procedure to determine whether to temporarily allow the user equipment device to connect to the network. The network device may receive information identifying a slice associated with the user equipment device in response to determining to temporarily allow the user equipment device to connect to the network. The network device may perform a second admission control procedure to determine whether to allow the user equipment device to connect to the network. The second admission control procedure is based on the slice associated with the user equipment device. The network device may allocate network resources to the user equipment device in response to determining to allow the user equipment device to connect to the network.

Abstract: A device may determine that an application server requires an IPv6 address of a user equipment, and may provide, to another network device, a request for the IPv6 address of the user equipment, wherein the request includes data identifying an IP address of the network device and a port of the network device, and wherein the request is to cause the other network device to provide the request for the IPv6 address to the user equipment via a SMS request message, and receive, from the user equipment, data identifying the IPv6 address and a port of the user equipment via a SMS response message. The network device may receive, from the other network device, a response that includes the data identifying the IPv6 address and the port of the user equipment, and may store the data identifying the IPv6 address and the port of the user equipment.
