Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an event reporting service. The event reporting service may enable network devices, such as an application function, to subscribe to usage reporting in which notifications for a usage event may be reported periodically or non-singularly. The event reporting service may include data instances in messages exchanged between core network devices that configures the usage and event notification.

Abstract: A network device may provide heartbeat requests to a plurality of network function producers, and may set states of the plurality of network function producers to suspended based on not receiving responses to the heartbeat requests after a predetermined time. The network device may receive, from a network function consumer, a discovery request requesting identification of network function producers providing a service or with a network function type, and may determine, based on the discovery request, that none of the plurality of network function producers are available based on the states of the plurality of network function producers being set to suspended. The network device may provide, to the network function consumer, a discovery response that includes a list of the plurality of network function producers with status indicators set to active.

Abstract: A first network device may receive a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment or modification request, and may perform one or more actions based on the PDU session establishment or modification request. The first network device may receive, based on performing the one or more actions, a first message indicating that the PDU session is authenticated and authorized, and may select a second network device associated with establishing or modifying a management policy for the PDU session. The first network device may receive, from the second network device, a second message indicating whether to wait for receipt of a charging data response, to a charging data request, before interacting with a third network device, and may provide the charging data request to a fourth network device while interacting with the third network device when the second message indicates not to wait for receipt of the charging data response.

Abstract: A system may receive an indication that a user device is connecting to a network and determine, based on a profile associated with the user device, that a priority associated with the user device is to be modified when congestion associated with the network reaches a level. The system may send, to a base station, a first request to monitor the congestion associated with the network. The system may receive, from the base station, an indication that the congestion associated with the network has reached the level. The system may send, to the base station, a second request to modify the priority associated with the user device when the congestion associated with the network is at the level.

Abstract: A device receives, from a policy control function (PCF) in a wireless network, at least one set of user equipment device (UE)-location based conditional policy rules. The device determines a geographic location of a UE connected to the wireless network and applies one of the set of UE-location based conditional policy rules to traffic associated with the UE based on the determined geographic location.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a user device, a registration request that includes a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI), identifying a network element to decode the SUCI and forwarding the SUCI to the identified network element. The method may also include decoding the SUCI to identify a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI), identifying a unified data management (UDM) device associated with the SUPI and transmitting an authentication request to the identified UDM device to obtain authentication information associated with the user device. The method may further include receiving the authentication information and authenticating the user device based on the received authentication information.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide for the selection of a charging function (“CHF”) associated with a particular user equipment (“UE”). A particular CHF may be selected, from a group of candidate CHFs, based on CHF selection criteria respectively associated with the candidate CHFs and attribute information associated with the UE. The attribute information may describe attributes of the UE, profile information associated with the UE, and/or attributes of traffic and/or bearers associated with the UE.

Abstract: A network device transmits data to a user equipment (UE) via a first Radio Access Network (RAN) using first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) congestion control parameters. The network device receives a notification message indicating that the UE has moved from the first RAN to a second RAN, and modifies, responsive to receipt of the notification, the first TCP congestion control parameters to create second TCP congestion control parameters. The network device transmits data to the UE via the second RAN using the second TCP congestion control parameters.
