Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for intelligent, real-time network consumption tracking and traffic steering in fifth-generation (5G) networks via a network configuration and implementation. The disclosed hybrid network traffic steering is effectuated by using Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) and Subscriber Location Function (SLF) to route/steer fourth-generation (4G) network traffic by 5G subscribers to a 5G Charging Function (CHF) for 4G fallback network consumptions. Network currency consumption tracking is performed by the 5G CHF. The CHF dictates policy rules for 5G networks via the Policy Control Function (PCF) of the 5G Core, and dictates policy rules for 4G networks via the Policy and Charging Rules Functions (PCRF) for fallback sessions.

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 device may obtain network information associated with a network device to be installed at a particular location in a network. The device may select, based on the network information, a virtual distributed unit (vDU), of a plurality of vDUs, to be deployed on the network device. The device may generate, based on selecting the vDU, deployment information associated with the vDU, where the deployment information includes configuration information that is configured for the particular location. The device may send the deployment information to the network device to cause the vDU to be automatically deployed on the network device.

Abstract: A device can determine, based on a first packet flow associated with a first user device and application identifiers associated with applications accessible by the first user device, that a first packet associated with the first packet flow 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.

Abstract: A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a request from a user equipment (UE) device to resolve a Domain Name System (DNS) query for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and determine that the URL corresponds to a malicious URL. The processor may be further configured to select to not resolve the DNS query in response to determining that the URL corresponds to a malicious URL and send an indication to the UE device that the URL corresponds to a malicious URL.

Abstract: A slice order system may receive a request to generate a network slice configuration for providing a service via a network. The slice offer system may determine a description template associated with a network slice type. The slice offer system may determine, based on the description template and a set of deployment parameters, a description profile for the network slice configuration. The slice offer system may generate, based on the description profile and a location, a slice deployment description for the network slice configuration according to location-specific characteristics associated with resources at the location and a service level agreement associated with the request. The slice offer system may deploy the slice deployment description to permit a network slice instance to be created according to the slice deployment description.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an access and mobility management function (AMF) assignment service is provided. A network device receives an assignment policy for selecting an AMF from a group of available AMFs, wherein the assignment policy includes network slice priorities for available network slices in the RAN; stores the assignment policy; receives, during a registration procedure initiated by an end device, Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI); identifies, from the NSSAI, multiple single-NSSAIs (S-NSSAIs); and selects, based on the assignment policy, an AMF for a highest priority S-NSSAI, of the multiple S-NSSAIs.

Abstract: A computing device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to initialize a Fifth Generation wireless system (5G) function node of a particular type; identify one or more always-on processes associated with the particular type of 5G function node; and activate the identified one or more always-on processes. The processor may be further configured to monitor one or more trigger conditions associated with the 5G function node; detect a trigger condition, of the one or more trigger conditions; identify an on-demand process associated with the 5G function node based on the detected trigger condition; and activate the identified on-demand process in a serverless computing system using a serverless computing interface, in response to detecting the trigger condition.

Abstract: A system determines an optimized number and placement of wireless stations based on predicted future demand scoring of end user devices. A computing device calculates a growth projection of mobile devices in a geographic region for a time period; calculates a visiting projection for a peak amount of mobile devices connected to wireless stations in the geographic area and their locations when connected to wireless stations within the time period; calculates an application-use projection for bandwidth use patterns of the mobile devices within the time period; and calculates a network impact projection for an amount bandwidth impact by the mobile devices at each of the wireless stations. The computing device generates a demand score for geographic units within the geographic region, based on the projections, and assigns, based on the demand score, one or more of the geographic units as placement locations for new wireless station during the time period.
