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: This invention flexibly controls the number of user planes in a communication system. In a communication system, a base station is in a local area network and at least one user plane function arranged in a cloud are connected. A determination is made as to whether or not a new user plane function should be added, taking into consideration: the traffic amount, from the maximum traffic amount using the local area network, of user data transferred by the at least one user plane function using the local area network; and an anticipated traffic amount of a new user plane function.

Abstract: Various arrangements for obtaining a cellular network address are presented herein. A request can be received from a network function residing outside of a cellular network core. The request can indicate an external Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a piece of user equipment (UE). A network exposure function (NEF) of the cellular network core can route the request to a user plane function (UPF) of the cellular network core. The UPF can determine a cellular network address for the UE that corresponds to the external IP address. The NEF can transmit an indication of the determined cellular network address to the network function.

Abstract: Systems and method dynamically determine provisioning of networking services. A service area is serviced by a first user plane function (UPF) as a primary service area and by a second UPF as a secondary service 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 first service area. A first load of the first UPF is determined. In response to the first load not exceeding a load threshold value, the user equipment is connected to the first UPF. In response to the first load exceeding the load threshold value, the user equipment is connected to the second UPF when a second load thereof does not exceed the first load or to the first UPF when the second load exceeds the first load.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for offering tenants the ability to purchase commoditized network resources in a next-generation, large-scale wireless communication network (e.g., a 5G or 6G cellular network) according to dynamic pricing. For example, the network can update pricing of commoditized network resources intelligently and dynamically based on present and/or predicted supply and/or demand of the network resources. The updated pricing is offered to tenants on a periodic or other basis, and the tenants can decide whether to purchase more or less of those resources based on the updated pricing. The network can adjust resource allocations to the tenants based on the updated purchase decisions. The network can also automatically adjust QoS parameters for the tenants to fit within their purchased resource allocations.

Abstract: A multiple tenant architecture for providing location services in a wireless network. A method or system electronically defines, for each tenant of a plurality of tenants of the wireless network, customization parameters for one or more location services or location services systems. The customization parameters specify attributes or policies of the positioning technology used to locate the User Equipment (UE) devices and attributes or policies of the core network.
