Abstract:
One or more devices may receive, from a user device via a first communication layer associated with a first network device, a request to add a second communication layer associated with a second network device; generate an instruction, based on receiving the request, to aggregate first data flow and the second data flow, to be provided via the first and second communication layers; and provide, to the second network device and based on generating the instruction, a response to indicate that the one or more devices are prepared to aggregate the first and second data flows. The response may include an instruction to direct the second network device to establish a simultaneous connection with the user device while the user device is connected to the first network device and to establish the connection with the user device via the second communication layer.
Abstract:
A system may receive a request to receive a particular quality of service level for traffic flow between a user device and an over-the-top application server that provides an over-the-top application service. The over-the-top application server may be outside of a service provider network. The system may determine that the user device is to receive the particular quality of service level for the over-the-top application service based on receiving the request. The system may cause the traffic flow to receive the particular quality of service level based on determining that the user device is to receive the particular quality of service level. The traffic flow may be transmitted using the service provider network. The system may determine usage information associated with the traffic flow, where the usage information identifies the user device and the particular quality of service level. The system may provide the usage information.
Abstract:
A device may include a processor configured to obtain requirements for a wireless communication service to be deployed on a carrier on a sector of a base station and obtain key performance indicator (KPI) values for the carrier on the sector of the base station. The processor may be further configured to use a trained machine learning model to determine a required capacity and a predicted average latency for the wireless communication service based on the obtained requirements and the obtained KPI values; determine that the wireless communication service satisfies a deployment requirement to be deployed on the carrier on the sector of the base station based on the determined required capacity and the predicted average latency; and deploy the wireless communication service on the carrier on the sector of the base station, in response to determining that the wireless communication service satisfies the deployment requirement.
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide reliable voice connections dual-connectivity environments, given limitations of available spectrum. A system includes a first wireless station and a second wireless station. The first wireless station provides a shared spectrum of a first frequency band, the shared spectrum including a first spectrum for a first cellular wireless standard and a second spectrum for a second cellular wireless standard. The second wireless station is at least partially within a coverage area of the first wireless station and provides a third spectrum for the second cellular wireless standard. The third spectrum is a millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum. The first wireless station broadcasts a parameter barring an end device in an idle mode from camping on the second spectrum. The first wireless station or the second wireless station triggers the end device to swap to the second spectrum when a paging request for a voice call is received.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a frequency and network slice selection service is provided. The service may configure network slices at a cell level which may include carrier frequencies or bands that may be ranked in terms of preference for a network slice. The service may provide frequency/band-network slice information to end devices via system information block and radio resource control messages. End devices may perform a cell search procedure and use other criteria to select and establish a network slice connection via a frequency/band of a network slice and in accordance with the service.
Abstract:
Systems and methods described herein include receiving an indication that an application on a user device has been launched; determining subscription information associated with the user device or a provider of the application, wherein the subscription information includes an indication of one or more recommended network slices to use for traffic associated with the application; and initiating a data session with the user device for sending and receiving the traffic associated with the application via a recommended network slice of the one or more recommended network slices.
Abstract:
A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for encoding a general packet radio service (GPRS)-tunnel endpoint identifier (GTP-TEID) with data identifying radio frequency (RF) bandwidths supported in a local radio environment (LRE) from which a user equipment (UE) device accesses the wireless access station; sending, via a signaling channel, the GTP-TEID to a core network device; notifying one or more core network devices of an RF bandwidth category level corresponding to the identified RF bandwidths; and applying at least one of a policy rule or a charging rule to a packet data unit (PDU) session for the UE device, based on the RF bandwidth category level.
Abstract:
A first component may receive a message from a anchor selection component in a network. The message may include information that identifies a session anchor in the network and indicates a location of the session anchor. The first component may identify a managing component in the network based on the information and signal the managing component. The signaling may cause the managing component to be configured to forward data, from a mobile terminal attached to the network over a wireless link, to the session anchor.
Abstract:
Systems and methods relate to: receiving a request for session, from a first device over a wireless link, for a service, wherein the request includes a Single-Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) that is associated with the service; determine a priority for the session based on the S-NSSAI; and performing, based on the determined priority, an uplink procedure or a downlink procedure for the session. A network include the network component that receives the request for session.
