Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to migrate a set of network functions between control planes of network slices and include a network slice A that includes a first set of a plurality of network functions in a control plane associated with a legacy vendor; a network slice B that includes a second set of the plurality of network functions in the control plane associated with a new vendor wherein the second set of the plurality of network functions includes a subset of the first set of the plurality of network functions in the control plane of network slice A; and a migration management unit to manage a gradual staged transfer of a subset of the plurality of network functions originally contained in the control plane of the network slice A to the control plane of network slice B wherein the gradual transfer is a migration of the plurality of network functions in a set of multiple stages to create the subset of the plurality of network functions in the control plane of slice B wherein each gradual staged transfer includes the migration of a reduced subset of the plurality of network functions contained in the control plane of the network slice A reconfigured to the control plane of the network slice B.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

Abstract: Systems and method are directed towards dynamically determining how to provision networking services. First and second user plane functions are initialized for first and second service areas, respectively. The second service area and the first service area share an overlap area. A request is received from a user equipment to connect to a network, and a location of the user equipment is identified. Determination is made whether the location is in the overlap area. In response to the location being in the overlap area, a first load of the first user plane function and a second load of the second user plane function are determined. In response to the first load exceeding the second load, the user equipment is connected to the second user plane function. In response to the second load exceeding the first load, the user equipment is connected to the first user plane function.

Abstract: Various arrangements for performing intelligent cellular channel management are presented herein. A physical cellular communication channel may be established between a user equipment (UE) and a cellular network for sending a short message service (SMS) message in response to a cellular service request from the UE. A machine learning arrangement can be used to determine a duration of time for which the physical cellular communication channel is to be kept active. A channel maintenance instruction may be transmitted to keep the physical cellular communication channel active based on a cellular network messaging controller making the determination.

Abstract: Various arrangements for performing intelligent cellular channel management are presented herein. A physical cellular communication channel may be established between a user equipment (UE) and a cellular network for sending a short message service (SMS) message in response to a cellular service request from the UE. One or more characteristics of the UE, the SMS message, or both may be analyzed. A duration of time for which the physical cellular communication channel is to be kept active may be based on the analyzed one or more characteristics. A channel maintenance instruction may be transmitted to keep the physical cellular communication channel active based on a cellular network messaging controller determining to adjust the duration of time for which the physical cellular communication channel is kept active.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media for uniquely identifying user equipment with a wireless network may include one or a combination of the following. A cellular network core may include a user plane function (UPF). The UPF may collect and store subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) information and/or generic public subscription identifier (GPSI) information corresponding to user equipment (UE) having an IP address. In response to a request, the cellular network core may execute a conditional process based at least in part on the UPF using the SUPI information and/or the GPSI information as part of the conditional process to respond to the request. The request may be for GPSI information corresponding to the UE. An external IP address of the UE may be provided along with the request. Upon completion of the conditional process, the cellular network core may return the GPSI information corresponding to the UE.
