Abstract: A network device may determine, based on a provisioning request to host an application platform, a configuration of resources of a network for maintaining the application platform within the network. The network device may provision the resources to permit access to the application platform via a domain. The network device may receive, from a user device, a domain request that includes the domain, wherein the domain request is associated with configuring an application session between an application of the user device and the application platform. The network device may provide, to the user device, a response that includes an address of a host resource of the application platform, wherein the host resource is one of the resources. The network device may receive, from the user device, a session request that includes the address and may establish the application session between the user device and the host resource.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user equipment, a token request associated with an application, wherein the token request is associated with a device identifier. The device may generate a device token for the application and the user equipment. The device may provide, using the device identifier, the device token to the user equipment to enable a user to access the application via an application platform. The device may receive, from the application platform, a slice request for a network slice of a network that is to be used for an application session. The device may determine that the user equipment is associated with the application session based on the device token and the device identifier. The device may configure a network slice instance of the network slice. The device may determine a user equipment route selection policy for the application session according to the network slice instance.

Abstract: In some implementations, an authentication system may receive a user authentication request identifying a primary device. The authentication system may generate a challenge associated with a user profile mapped to the primary device. The authentication system may transmit a challenge message including the challenge. The authentication system may receive a challenge response including a response to the challenge, wherein the response to the challenge includes identification information regarding the user profile. The authentication system may determine a set of primary services associated with the user profile mapped to the primary device and a set of secondary services associated with a set of secondary devices. The authentication system may generate a set of security keys mapped to the set of primary services and the set of secondary services. The authentication system may provision the primary device and the set of secondary devices with the set of security keys.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable user-aware and application-aware dynamic slicing for mobile networks. A network device in a provider network receives a dynamic slice request from a client application. The dynamic slice request includes authorization credentials and a quality of service (QoS) indication for the client application. In response to the dynamic slice request, the network device generates a traffic descriptor value. The traffic descriptor value includes an access token that indicates the QoS authorized for the client application. The network device pushes updated UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rules to a modem of the UE device, and also separately directs the traffic descriptor value to the client application. The network device receives, from the UE device, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request that includes network slice selection information based on the traffic descriptor value.
