    Abstract: A method may include determining that a user equipment (UE) device is a dual connectivity device capable of communicating via a Fifth Generation (5G) network and a non-5G network. The method may also include receiving, a radio resource control (RRC) connection request, establishing an RRC connection with the UE device and determining whether the first wireless station is a dual connectivity wireless station. The method may further include initiating, in response to determining that the first wireless station is not a dual connectivity wireless station, a handover of a wireless connection to the UE device from the first wireless station to a second wireless station that is a dual connectivity wireless station, or identifying, in response to determining that the first wireless station is a dual connectivity wireless station, a 5G wireless station in the 5G network to act as a serving cell for the UE device.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may provide for the return (e.g., reconnection) of a User Equipment (“UE”) to a first radio access network (“RAN”) to which the UE was connected, after the UE has been redirected to a second RAN based on the occurrence of an event. The event may include a voice call placed by or to the UE. The return of the UE to the first RAN may occur based on a request from the UE, such as a request made via Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) messaging. The UE may make the request upon termination of the voice call. The first RAN may queue downlink data for the UE, received from a core network or some other source, based on receiving the request, in order to allow the UE to be instructed to connect to (e.g., be redirected to) the first RAN.

    Abstract: A device can receive, from first user equipment, information that relates to a first application, where the information includes a plurality of S-NSSAI. The device can determine whether the plurality of S-NSSAI are configured as a group of associated S-NSSAI. The device can determine that a preference is to be given to one of: communication sessions associated with the first application relative to a communication session associated with a second application, that does not utilize multiple network slices, of the first user equipment or second user equipment; traffic flows associated with the first application relative to a traffic flow associated with the second application; or a plurality of network slices associated with the first application relative to a network slice associated with the second application. The device can perform one or more actions based on determining the preference to thereby facilitate a particular functionality of the first application.

    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 service provider server may receive a request for temporary wireless data service for a user device. The service provider server may determine user information associated with a user account of the user device based on the request for the temporary wireless data service. The service provider server may generate a profile for the temporary wireless data service based on the user information associated with the user account. The service provider server may provide provisioning information based on the profile for the temporary wireless data service to the user device to activate access to the temporary wireless data service. The service provider server may authenticate, after providing the provisioning information, the user device for use of the temporary wireless data service based on the provisioning information and the profile.

    Abstract: A base station may include one or more processors to receive repetitive data transmitted using a set of subcarriers of a physical resource block (PRB); apply a first orthogonal pattern, assigned to a first user equipment (UE), to a segment of subframes of the received repetitive data; apply a second orthogonal pattern, assigned to a second UE, to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data, the second orthogonal pattern being different from the first orthogonal pattern; determine first repetitive data, transmitted by the first UE using the set of subcarriers, based on applying the first orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data; and/or determine second repetitive data, transmitted by the second UE using the set of subcarriers, based on applying the second orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data.

    Abstract: A device can receive, from a node in a core network, application identifiers associated with applications accessible by a first user device. The application identifiers can be associated with latency requirements. The device can obtain, from the first user device, a first packet associated with a first packet flow. The device can compare information regarding the first packet flow, and the application identifiers to determine that the first packet is destined for a low-latency application having a specified latency range. The device can identify a first low-latency bearer that satisfies the specified latency range associated with the low-latency application. The device can map the first packet flow to the first low-latency bearer, and communicate packets, associated with the first packet flow, using the first low-latency bearer. The packets can include data packets communicated between an entity hosting the low-latency application and the first user device, while bypassing the core network.
