Abstract: An O-DU is configured to facilitate, in a 5G wireless communication system having a DOCSIS xhaul (fronthaul, midhaul, or backhaul) transport system, pipelined 5G and DOCSIS latency. The O-DU is configured to receive a slice-, device-, and service-aware buffer status report (SDSABSR) indicating a UE is requesting an uplink grant for data transmission in the 5G wireless communication system; generate, based on the SDSABSR, a slice-, device-, and service-aware bandwidth reporting (SDSABR) trigger for a CMTS; and provide to the CMTS the SDSABR trigger to cause the CMTS to make QoS and resource granting decisions relative other requests from other devices in response to the SDSABR trigger and before receiving the data transmission.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes obtaining, by a processing system, real-time information regarding a state of a communication network and capabilities of the communication network; selecting a routing for delivering a message to user equipment (UE) coupled to the network, in accordance with the real-time information; and configuring a messaging path according to the routing. The method further includes detecting whether the UE is in a non-active state and if so, providing a notification on a user plane data path of the communication network; the UE on returning to an active state thus is notified that the message is available via the user plane data path. If the UE on returning to the active state is unable to receive the message via the user plane data path, the message is then provided on a control plane signaling path. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for PWS success indication message exchange on multiple signaling interfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for reporting secondary node (SN) data usage in an NR-DC cellular communication for billing different tariffs of a UE's data usage over FR1 and FR2 bands provided by, respectively, a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN). Also disclosed are details of the messages exchanged in various NR-DC architectures. In some embodiments, an SMF is configured for selecting a CHF from a CHF pool based on various factors.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide UL grant in a proactive manner by gNB or disaggregated RAN towards UE for transmission of RRC reestablishment complete message during RRC reestablishment procedure. Under current 3GPP specifications, there are no PUCCH resources available at UE to transmit SR for requesting UL grant to transmit RRC reestablishment complete. The UE must trigger again a RACH process for obtaining a UL grant for transmitting the RRC reestablishment complete message. This results in RAN inefficiency due to additional signaling and higher latency. The ability to transfer RRC signaling messages in DOCSIS transport environment is further impacted due to added latency. Allocating the UE with a proactive grant improves the RRC reestablishment procedure, as well reduces radio network latency in a DOCSIS transport network. This also resolves radio network impacts arising due to a second RACH attempt for sending the RRC reestablishment complete message.

Abstract: Disclosed is a data analytics driven metering solution for next-generation mobile networks evolution that can initiate triggers based on rules within the converged domain data analytics function (CDDAF), extract the energy efficiency data from the domain specific slices and network functions within the slice, correlates with the user traffic patterns on a location/time/service scale, and takes actions to conserve energy resources across the networking domains. The CDDAF securely exposes APIs towards external agencies such as site owners with data insights that are used by them to enhance life cycle management of site-specific assets and resources.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards an integrated short message service (SMS) function and short message service center function that delivers mobile terminated messages by selecting among access domains for to endpoints based on their capabilities, e.g., 5G, 5G+, LTE WI-FI, including multimode capabilities. The integrated SMS function determines attributes (e.g., capabilities) of a user equipment destination device for a mobile terminated message, obtains contextual data (e.g., current device reachability, network conditions) for the device, and determines which access and mobility management function (AMF) or mobility management entity (MME) is associated with the device. Based on the various obtained information, the integrated SMS function selects an appropriate access domain based on the capabilities and contextual data, and if the device is reachable, correctly routes the message for delivery. Retry operations can be set up for devices that are not currently reachable.
