Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in which an predictive discontinuous reception (DRX) bypass service is provided. The bypass service may provide flow control signaling that enables an uplink grant to be transmitted to an end device regardless of the DRX mode. The bypass service may provide for an immediate grant for uplink data and may improve latency. The bypass service may also provide flow control signaling for downlink data that may cause the end device to wake up from a DRX mode and receive downlink data. The bypass service also provides predictive scheduling that allows an external network, such as a multi-access edge computing network to establish a DRX-free downlink connection before completion of data processing. The flow control signaling may include a quality of service flow identifier value that correlates to the bypass service.

Abstract: A device may provide path data identifying a primary path and one or more alternate paths for segment routing traffic in the network, and may receive performance data indicating a performance degradation in the primary path. The device may determine that the performance data satisfies a first threshold, and may request, based on the performance data satisfying the first threshold, alternate path performance data. The device may receive the alternate path performance data based on the request, and may compare the alternate path performance data for the one or more alternate paths. The device may select a particular alternate path, of the one or more alternate paths, based on comparing the alternate path performance data for the one or more alternate paths, and may trigger, based on the performance data satisfying a second threshold, a failover of the traffic from the primary path and to the particular alternate path.

Abstract: A power and environmental orchestration (P&EO) system uses network utilization condition information to implement scenarios that partially or fully reduce power requirements for radio access network (RAN) elements. A network device obtains power orchestration scenarios for a RAN and evaluates utilization data of multiple components of the RAN against the power orchestration scenarios. The network device determines that the utilization data meets a threshold for one of the power orchestration scenarios and applies the one of the power orchestration scenarios to reconfigure the RAN for reduced power consumption.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice-to-transport domain service is provided. The service includes correlating a network slice identifier, an Internet Protocol subnet, and a virtual routing and forwarding instance pertaining to a network slice, and configuring network devices of the network slice with at least a portion of the correlated information. The service may obtain feedback information from the network devices, and evaluate performance metrics pertaining to the network slice based on the correlated information.

Abstract: A device may include a first plurality of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) elements. Each of the MEMS elements may include a mirror configured to reflect a radio frequency (RF) signal propagating through a free space to the mirror and whose surface orientation is configurable based on signals from a controller. The device may also include the controller. The controller may be configured to: receive a configuration message from a cellular network component over a radio frequency (RF) control channel; extract configuration parameter values for one or more of the MEMS elements; and configure the one or more of the MEMS elements by sending control signals corresponding to the configuration parameter values.

Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to receive a request to establish a communication session or data flow for a user equipment (UE) device connected to a Radio Access Network (RAN). The processor may be further configured to obtain key performance indicators (KPI) information relating to one or more KPIs for a plurality of paths in a transport network used by the RAN to connect to a core network; determine a KPI requirement for the communication session or data flow to be established; select a path in the transport network based on the obtained KPI information and the determined KPI requirement; and establish the communication session or data flow in the transport network using the selected path.
