Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable dynamic in-app subscriptions and controls for network slices. A user device receives a command to launch an application and identifies a preferred network slice for the application. The application determines that a network services subscription for the user device does not include the preferred network slice and obtains consent, from a user of the user device, to add the preferred network slice to the network services subscription. The user device receives, from a provider network, authorization for using the preferred network slice by the application and initiates a network session on the preferred network slice.

Abstract: Techniques for stateless address auto-configuration with support for multiple, different subnets are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving, by a network device, a router solicitation (RS) message from a network node, generating, by the network device, a router advertisement (RA) message for use in determining the network node's network address, the RA message including a network address prefix and subnetting information, the subnetting information comprising a subnet address, a subnet address length and a subnet option type, and transmitting, by the network device, the RA message to the network node.

Abstract: A method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium provide for provisioning a geo-fence for a fixed wireless access (FWA) device installed at a designated service address to enable an end device to access network services via a first radio access network (RAN); determining a location of the FWA device relative to the geo-fence based on signaling from the end device; managing the access to the network service for the network session based on a determination of the FWA device's location relative to the geo-fence; and generating instructions related to the managing of the access to the network services.

Abstract: A method, device, and computer-readable medium are provided to send, by a first consumer-premises equipment (CPE) device to a second CPE device in a local area network (LAN), a first request for an IP address, wherein the first request is a first signaling message that includes a first protocol configuration option (PCO) providing first network-centric information for the first CPE device; receive, from the second CPE device, an acknowledgement to the first request, wherein the acknowledgment is a second signaling message that includes the IP address and a second PCO providing second network-centric information for the second CPE device; connect, via the second CPE device, to a bootstrap server device via a radio access network (RAN); receive, via the second CPE device, attachment information associated with a network management server; and send, via the second CPE device, the second network-centric information to the network management server in a first attach.

Abstract: A device can receive a system information data from a cell and obtain cell metadata from the system information data, the cell metadata including at least one of: a cell identifier, or a cellular parameter. The device can determine, based on the cell metadata, that the cell is of a particular cell type of multiple cell types, including: a fifth generation long term evolution (LTE) cell type, a fifth generation new radio (NR) sub-6 GHz cell type, and a fifth generation NR millimeter wave cell type. Based on the particular cell type, the device can perform an action, including causing display of an indicator on a display of the device.

Abstract: A fixed wireless access device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to activate a Fifth Generation (5G) scanning mode and scan for 5G wireless signals associated with a provider that is also associated with the fixed wireless access device. The processor may be further configured to detect a 5G wireless signal associated with the provider; determine a signal strength for the detected 5G wireless signal; and generate an indication of the determined signal strength to be displayed in a user interface associated with the fixed wireless access device.

Abstract: A device may forward, to a User Equipment device (UE) over a network, an updated list of subscribed network slices; receive, from the UE, a registration request that includes a list of requested network slices; generate, based on the list of requested network slices, an updated list of allowed network slices; and send the updated list of allowed network slices to the UE. The updated list of allowed network slices may be synchronized to the updated list of subscribed network slices.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an registration support service. The registration support service may include providing an end device with registration support information that may facilitate a re-registration of the end device with an access and mobility management function, a mobility management entity, or the like. The registration support information may include a time period and/or a location with which the end device may initiate a registration procedure. The registration support information may be generated based on historical behavior of the end device.
