Abstract: A method for performing service authorization for private networks based on an enhanced PLMN identifier. The method includes receiving an attach request from a user equipment device (UE) via a private network, where the attach request includes an international mobile subscriber identity value (IMSI). The method further includes determining, based on the IMSI, an organization identifier and a token associated with the private network, where the token is included in an enhanced PLMN for granting the UE access to resources in the private network. The method further includes sending the token to the UE and a network proxy within the private network.

Abstract: Systems and methods implement closed loop analytics feedback for a transport network. A network device, such as a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF), receives, from a commissioning network function, an analytic information request for analytic event information and sends, to the commissioning network function, an analytic report that is responsive to the analytic information request wherein the analytic report includes a unique analytic report identifier. The network device receives, from the commissioning network function, a feedback event message that includes the analytic report identifier and a change description for a network parameter change influenced by the analytic report.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable improve handling of 5G-enabled devices in 4G core networks. The systems and methods described herein provide an enhanced HTTP-based interface between a SMF/PGW-C and a UDM to support interactions required to: (a) perform authorization of PDN access for non-3GPP networks, (b) provide an APN profile to the SMF+PGW-C for the PDN being setup, (c) update the SMF+PGW-C address in the UDM for the PDN being served by non-3GPP networks, and (d) provide operator-specific subscriber parameters from the UDM to the SMF+PGW-C for 3GPP and non-3GPP access.

Abstract: A mobile device may receive user input for requesting personal information for a subject in proximity of a mobile device and based on the user input, selecting one of available functions. The functions may include a first function for obtaining personal information using a first identifier. The functions may also include a second function for obtaining the personal information using the first identifier. The mobile device may output the personal information as an image to a display or as speech to speaker.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for coordination of inactivity procedures between wireless stations in a multi-RAT dual connectivity scenario. A wireless station identifies, for an end device, a multi-radio access technology (RAT) dual connectivity scenario with dedicated bearers and detects inactivity for a bearer using the master wireless station. In response to the detecting, the master wireless station sends, to a secondary wireless station, an inactivity status check for another bearer of the multi-RAT dual connectivity scenario. When a response to the inactivity status check is received from the secondary wireless station within a designated time window, the master wireless station waits for a release request from the secondary wireless station and initiates an inactivity procedure for the end device when the release request is received.

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 method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which policy delivery is provided. A network device of a core network may receive a registration request message that includes a request for an end device policy. The network device may perform a registration procedure and a policy procedure pertaining to an end device. The network device determines when the registration and the policy procedures are completed. The network device transmits a registration response that includes an end device policy to an end device.

Abstract: A network device receives an attach request indicating that a user device is attempting a connection associated with a non-access stratum (NAS) and a particular interface, and generates a create session request that includes an indication that the connection for the user device is associated with the NAS and the particular interface. The network device provides, to a serving gateway (SGW) of the network, the create session request that includes the indication, and receives, from the SGW, a create session response that includes rules for handling the connection for the user device that is associated with the NAS and the particular interface, wherein the rules have been generated by a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) of the network. The network device provides, to the user device, an attach accept, that includes the rules, to permit the user device is to connect with the network and to utilize the rules.
