Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the rate-controlled forwarding of traffic to a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”). The rate of the forwarding of the traffic may be based on a latency sensitivity of the traffic, metrics associated with the base station, and an ingress capacity of the base station. The metrics associated with the base station may include congestion and/or load metrics, radio frequency (“RF”) metrics, or other suitable metrics. The latency sensitivity of the traffic may be determined based on a source and/or destination of the traffic, a network slice associated with the traffic, or other suitable traffic attributes. After receiving the rate-controlled traffic, the base station may perform scheduling and/or queueing of the traffic in order to wirelessly provide the traffic to one or more User Equipment (“UEs”).

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein use group segmentation of applications (referred to herein as “slicing classes”), based on common service requirements, to allow carriers to assign UE traffic to network slices. A UE stores slicing class definitions for use with UE Route Selection Policies (URSP). Each of the slicing class definitions include network quality of service (QoS) characteristics that are applicable to network traffic for multiple software applications. The UE maps the software applications to corresponding slicing class identifiers associated with the slicing class definitions. The UE also stores URSP rules for associating a slicing class identifier with a network slice identifier. A UE operating system sends, to a modem, one of the slicing class identifiers for an application that is requesting attachment to a wireless network. The modem sends a registration request with a selected network slice identifier based on the received slicing class identifier and the URSP rules.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an blockchain-based network information management service is provided. The service provides blockchain mechanisms that allows for the management and disbursement of network information among network devices of a RAN, a core network, and an application layer network. The service may define a structure for the network information that may be used by RAN devices, core devices, and application layer devices of different vendors and third parties.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for encoding a general packet radio service (GPRS)-tunnel endpoint identifier (GTP-TEID) with data identifying radio frequency (RF) bandwidths supported in a local radio environment (LRE) from which a user equipment (UE) device accesses the wireless access station; sending, via a signaling channel, the GTP-TEID to a core network device; notifying one or more core network devices of an RF bandwidth category level corresponding to the identified RF bandwidths; and applying at least one of a policy rule or a charging rule to a packet data unit (PDU) session for the UE device, based on the RF bandwidth category level.

Abstract: Mitigating interference in 5G new radio systems may include establishing a path loss range associated with a satellite earth station, and receiving a path loss value associated with a mobile device. The method further includes determining whether the path loss value is within the path loss range, and sending a message to the mobile device to change an operation of the mobile device in response to determining that the path loss value is within the path loss range.

Abstract: A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to determine network slices for a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices associated with a base station wherein a particular network slice identifies a particular service category or a UE device attribute category associated with particular ones of the plurality of UE devices, determine a distribution of network slices for the base station based on the determined network slices for the plurality of UE devices, and determine an adjustment for an optimization parameter based on the distribution of network slices for the base station. The computer device may be further configured to adjust the optimization parameter for the base station based on the determined adjustment, wherein adjusted optimization parameter is used by the base station to manage data traffic associated with the plurality of UE devices.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a radio access network slice and core network slice service is provided based on RAN-CN network slice pairing information. A radio access network slice and/or a core network slice uses the RAN-CN network slice pairing information to select network resources to support sessions of end devices. The RAN-CN network slice pairing information may include location information, radio access network slice information, core network slice information correlated to different types or applications or services available to end devices. The RAN-CN network slice pairing information may include information indicating current and available radio access network resources pertaining to the radio access network slices and threshold resources that may be used to support the different types of applications or services.

Abstract: A method may include determining a capacity metric for sectors in a network, estimating a usage metric for each of the sectors for periods of time and determining a number of user devices that can access data services based on the capacity metric and the usage metric. The method may also include storing information identifying the determined number of user devices, receiving a request from a first user device for access to data services during a first period of time and accessing the stored information to determine whether the number of user devices that can access data services for the first period of time is greater than zero. The method may further include providing access via the wireless network to the first user device during the first period of time, in response to determining that the number of user devices that can access data services is greater than zero.
