Abstract: A system described herein may provide for the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning (“AI/MIL”) techniques to model energy usage information and energy saving techniques in various locations or regions (e.g., sectors) associated with one or more radio access networks (“RANs”) of a wireless network. The system may determine energy saving techniques, such as radio frequency (“RF”) transmission modification in time and/or frequency domains, antenna mode modification, cell sleep mode, beamforming parameters, and/or other suitable techniques to modify energy consumption at such sectors. The system may balance energy savings with maintaining Quality of Service (“QoS”) metrics at an acceptable level.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for network slice selection during an initial connection. A wireless station receives, from a core network device, network slice data for each network slice available via the wireless station, wherein the network slice data includes a slice identifier and corresponding slice characteristics for each network slice. The wireless station receives, from a user equipment (UE) device, a registration request message that indicates a network slice characteristic required by an application being executed on UE device. The wireless station selects, based on the network slice data from the core network device and the network slice characteristic from the UE device, one of the slice identifiers for servicing the UE device.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for allocation and/or preemption of radio access network (“RAN”) resources in a wireless network based on Quality of Service (“QoS”)-related metrics associated with User Equipment (“UEs”) that are connected to, and/or are requesting connection to, a RAN. QoS-related metrics may include a network slice, a QoS Flow Identifier (“QFI”), other suitable metrics. A Slice-Based Priority (“SBP”) determine one or more priority (e.g., SBP) values for UEs connected to the one or more RANs, and/or for UEs requesting connection to such RANs. In addition to QoS-related metrics priority values may be determined based on RAN-related metrics, such as Allocation and Retention Priority (“ARP”) values associated with a UE. RANs may accordingly be able to allocate resources, accept or deny connection requests, and/or perform preemption based at least partly on slice-related QoS metrics, thus preserving end-to-end QoS parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a private network management service for enterprise networks with wireless access. The systems and methods receive, within a provider network and from a user of a private network, parameters for multiple subscription profiles; associate the multiple subscription profiles with an identifier for the private network to create private network subscription profiles; store the private network subscription profiles; and provide at least a portion of the private network subscription profiles from a core network of the provider network to an authentication proxy in the private network. The authentication proxy performs authentication for end devices locally based on the private network subscription profiles.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide for the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning (“AI/ML”) techniques to generate models for various locations or regions (e.g., sectors) associated with one or more radio access networks (“RANs”) of a wireless network. The system may determine Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) or other attributes that are of particular relevance or importance for a given sector model, and may determine actions to perform with respect to particular sectors in order to enhance performance according to the KPIs that are of particular relevance to a sector model determined with respect to the particular sectors.

Abstract: A network device may be configured to: send a preemptive scheduling request to an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node over a wireless link between the network device and the IAB node; receive a scheduling grant from the IAB node over the wireless link; and send data to the IAB node over the wireless link at times indicated by the scheduling grant from the IAB node.

Abstract: A device may receive a request to establish a session for a wireless communication device over a wireless network; identify the wireless communication device as an unmanned aerial vehicle; modify operating parameters of a radio access network (RAN), with which the wireless communication device has a radio resource control (RRC) link, to optimize communication between the access network and the unmanned aerial vehicle. The wireless network includes the RAN.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the network-implemented detection of locations that exhibit excessive density of individuals, and/or for the detection of individuals who do not maintain a minimum level of distance between each other. Location information of one or more User Equipment (“UEs”) may be monitored and compared to policy information to determine that the locations exhibit at least a threshold level of population density. Further, remedial measures may be taken when such situations are detected, such as alerting devices that are located within, or are heading towards, such locations.

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.
