    Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to optimizing a non-3GPP untrusted Wi-Fi to 5G system handover followed by Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback, more specifically, to delaying removal of the Wi-Fi session resources and creating a voice flow as part of the EPS fallback. The present technology can receive a request for an EPS fallback from a mobile device for a handover to a 5G network while the mobile device is in communication over non-3GPP access network, maintain one or more resources of the non-3GPP access network during data path switching from the non-3GPP access network to the 5G network, generate a list of EPS bearer identifiers to transmit to an access and mobility management function (AMF), wherein the list of EPS bearer identifiers is associated with a voice flow to transfer the one or more resources of the non-3GPP access network as part of the handover from the non-3GPP access network to the 5G network, and transmit the list of EPS bearer identifiers to a mobility management entity (MME).

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for optimizing user plane node selection process during a process of handing over user equipment between two communication networks. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a network component, a session creation request for handing over the user equipment, the user equipment having a current active communication session within a first communication network with a first node of the first communication network, the session creation request including an identifier of the first node; receiving, at the network component, a list of candidates to serve as a user plane serving gateway for the user equipment in the second communication network; and selecting, by the network component and based on at least the identifier of the first node, the first node from the list of candidates to serve as the user plane serving gateway for the user equipment in the second communication network.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented that ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for Wi-Fi® calling and other Internet Media Services (IMS) when a user connects from a carrier-operated public Wi-Fi network to an IMS. A first packet including a domain name system (DNS) request received from a wireless mobile device via an access point is intercepted at a networking device. A network address of a collocated gateway device associated with the networking device is sent to the wireless mobile device in response to the DNS request. A second packet is received from the wireless mobile device including the network address of the collocated gateway to establish a network communication via the collocated gateway device. First QoS parameters associated with the network communication are received from the collocated gateway device and a notification message is sent to the access point, the notification message including the first QoS parameters.

    Abstract: Presented herein are efficient techniques in which an application function (AF) session is established between a first policy control function (PCF) in a standalone non-public network (SNPN) domain and a second PCF in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) domain, wherein a user equipment has a first session with the SNPN domain, the AF session is established for a second session of the user equipment with the PLMN domain, and the AF session is bound to the first session. The second PCF obtains an indication of a data flow initiated for the user equipment for the second session within the PLMN domain and determines flow information associated with the data flow. The second PCF transmits to the first PCF the flow information associated with the data flow for creating the data flow in the SNPN domain.

    Abstract: Disclosed are technologies for optimally utilizing 5G-NSA network resources via an Aggregate Maximum Bitrate (AMBR) feedback mechanism. A User Equipment (UE) is registered with a 5G-NSA network environment and a 5G AMBR is negotiated. A bearer-specific timer is triggered in response to detecting one or more data flows to the UE. Next, a Secondary Radio Access Technology (RAT) Data Usage Report is monitored for. In response to the bearer-specific timer expiring without a Secondary RAT Data Usage Report being received, it is determined that the UE is not currently being served by a 5G RAT. Subsequently, local rate limiting is performed to reduce the negotiated 5G AMBR to a limited AMBR having a lower bitrate than the negotiated 5G AMBR. The UE connection to the 5G-NSA network environment is then configured with the limited AMBR.
