Abstract: An improved cellular network architecture enables the distribution of Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state to devices in a core network. A mobility manager receives subscription requests from core network devices requesting notification of user equipment (UE) transitions to RRC Inactive states. Upon receiving an RRC transition report for a UE that indicates a transition to an RRC Inactive state, the mobility manager publishes an event including data representing the RRC inactive state and a UE identifier. Subscribing network elements receive this event and can adjust operations accordingly, including temporarily suspending operations until a further RRC state change.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein may provide for the return (e.g., reconnection) of a User Equipment (“UE”) to a first radio access network (“RAN”) to which the UE was connected, after the UE has been redirected to a second RAN based on the occurrence of an event. The event may include a voice call placed by or to the UE. The return of the UE to the first RAN may occur based on the occurrence of another event, such as the voice call being terminated.

Abstract: A network device may receive historical data identifying historical error data and error data categorizations associated with a first core network and may store the historical data in a data structure. The network device may receive a request associated with a user equipment and may receive error data from the first core network based on the request. The network device may receive network health data identifying load levels and health of the first core network and a second core network. The network device may determine possible cause data identifying causes associated with the error data based on the historical data, the error data, and the network health data. The network device may generate a cause code for the user equipment based on the possible cause data and may provide the cause code to the user equipment.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein employ a service profile for user equipment (UE). The UE service profile may be defined per network slice, such that a subscriber can have different registration area profiles, paging profiles, or performance profiles in different slices. According to one implementation, a network device receives a registration request requesting access to a network slice and obtains a UE service profile for the network slice. The service profile may indicate a paging profile and a registration profile associated with the UE device for the network slice.

Abstract: A device may receive load data identifying loads of network functions provided by a cloud computing environment, resource data associated with resources of the cloud computing environment, and resource distribution data associated with the resources. The device may perform data analytics on the load data, the resource data, and the resource distribution data to identify, from the network functions, a network function being impacted and to determine that the network function requires resource modification. The device may calculate, based on the data analytics and based on determining that the network function requires resource modification, parameters for the resource modification and may perform one or more actions based on the parameters for the resource modification.

Abstract: A device establishes a first encrypted tunnel with a first active security gateway at a first data center to enable the device to communicate, via the first encrypted tunnel, with a first access and mobility management function (AMF) at the first data center. The device forwards, via the first encrypted tunnel and the first active security gateway, a first User Equipment device (UE) message to the first AMF. The device determines an occurrence of a failure or overload condition at the first active security gateway, and establishes, based on the determined occurrence of the failure or overload condition, a second encrypted tunnel with a standby security gateway at a second data center to enable the device to communicate, via the second encrypted tunnel, with the first AMF. The device forwards, via the second encrypted tunnel and the standby security gateway, at least one second UE message to the first AMF.

Abstract: A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive, from the User Equipment device (UE), over a network, a registration request that includes a list of network slices requested by the UE; request a network component to provide a list of network slices to which the UE is subscribed; obtain a list of replacement network slices for replacing one or more of the list of network slices when one or more of the list of network slices become unavailable for a session with the UE; obtain a second list of network slices, which are allowed by the network to establish a session with the UE, based on the list of network slices and the list of replacement network slices; and send the second list of network slices to the UE.

Abstract: A system comprises one or more devices that implement a network function. The network function receives a connection request for a User Equipment (UE) device, the connection request including requested Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) for a mobile network. The network function retrieves subscribed NSSAI that includes NSSAI of slices from a subscription associated with the UE device. The network function determines expanded allowed NSSAI based on the subscribed NSSAI and NSSAI supported by the network. The network function sends, to the user device, the expanded allowed NSSAI.
