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 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 device processes a communication between a source and user equipment. The user equipment is one of a plurality of user equipment connected to a network and the user equipment is associated with an entity. The device determines that the communication is associated with an anomalous traffic pattern. The device implements a provisional blocking of traffic between the source and the plurality of user equipment connected to the network and generates a filtering rule based on determining the anomalous traffic pattern, where the filtering rule prescribes that traffic between the source and the second user equipment is to be blocked. The device transmits a notification to the entity associated with the user equipment that requests that the entity affirm the filtering rule, and the device blocks traffic between the source and the user equipment based on the entity affirming the filtering rule.

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:
Techniques described herein may be used to dynamically apply content filters to a user device by identifying the user operating the user device. An analytics server may collect information relevant to identifying the user, or the type of user (e.g., a child, a teenager, or an adult), and cause a content filter to be applied to the user device based on the user and content requested by the user. As such, systems and methods described herein provide techniques for applying a content filters based on the actual user that is operating the user device, as opposed to the just the user device itself.
Abstract:
A device may receive, from a user device and via a base station, a request to access a resource associated with a server device. The device may determine first condition information associated with the user device, and may determine second condition information associated with the base station. The device may determine one or more actions to be performed based on at least one of the first condition information or the second condition information. The device may perform, in association with a first flow or a second flow, the one or more actions. The first flow may be associated with the device and the user device, and the second flow may be associated with the device and the server device.
Abstract:
A device may receive a first indication that a user device connected to a first network device associated with a first network, the first indication including a hardware identifier associated with the user device; identify a policy set associated with the hardware identifier; and output the policy set to the first network device. The outputting may cause the first network device to filter traffic, transmitted via the first network device and destined for the user device, in accordance with the policy set. The device may receive a second indication that the user device has connected to a second network device associated with a second network; and output the policy set to the second network device. The outputting may cause the second network device to filter traffic, transmitted via the second network device and destined for the user device, in accordance with the policy set.
