Abstract: A system described herein may register a particular Service-Based Interface (“SBI”) with a core network (e.g., a Fifth Generation core (“5GC”)). The core network may maintain information associating the system with the particular SBI. The system may request core network information, associated with the core network, from the core network. The core network may provide the requested core network information to the device via the registered particular SBI. The system may provide the core network information, received via the particular SBI, to a radio access network (“RAN”), such as an Open-RAN (“O-RAN”), which may modify RAN configuration parameters based on the provided core network information. The system may also receive requests for RAN information from the core network via the SBI, may obtain the information from one or more elements of the RAN, and may provide the requested RAN information to the core network via the SBI.

Abstract: A system comprises one or more devices. The devices are configured to: receive a context associated with a flow of packets between a User Equipment device (UE) and a network slice in a wireless network; obtain one or more policy rules; apply the policy rules to the context and a model of a transport device to generate or update a map that assigns one or more contexts to queues within the transport device; and send the map to the transport device. The transport device is configured to: adjust parameters of the queues based on the map; shape traffic from each of the queues; schedule packets from the queues; and forward the scheduled packets.

Abstract: A system described herein may register a particular radio access network (“RAN”)-based interface, such as a R1 interface, with a RAN, such as an Open-RAN (“O-RAN”). The system may further be associated with a particular Service-Based Interface (“SBI”) of a core network that includes a plurality of network functions (“NFs”), where each NF is associated with a respective SBI. The system may receive, via the particular SBI, a request for RAN information from one or more NFs of the core network, obtain the RAN information from the RAN via the particular interface, output the requested RAN information to the one or more NFs of the core network via the particular SBI. Associating the system with the SBI may be performed without modifying a Network Repository Function (“NRF”) of the core network.
