Abstract: Solutions for providing a data traffic session with proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) restoration include: receiving an indication, by an application server (AS), that a user equipment (UE) is registered with a first proxy node (e.g., a P-CSCF); subscribing, by the AS, with a status repository, to a status of the first proxy node; receiving, by the AS, from the status repository, an indication that the first proxy node is unavailable; based on at least receiving the indication that the first proxy node is unavailable, transmitting, by the AS, to a subscriber information node, a first message triggering proxy node restoration; receiving an indication, by the AS, that the UE is registered with a second proxy node different than the first proxy node; and based on at least receiving a session initiation message, establishing the data traffic session for the UE with the second proxy node.

Abstract: A server of a fifth generation (5G) network can provide substantially real-time charges for a UE during fallback to another network. A Telephony Application Server (TAS) in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) can identify Evolved Packet System Fallback (EPSFB) and report the EPSFB to a charging system to cause the charging system to generate accurate charges for user equipment communicating over the 5G network and the other network. The TAS can comprise logic to identify a change in P-Access-Network-Information associated with each network, and generate a call detail records for billing, or real-time communication via an online charging and/or offline charging for the served UE. Information (a user profile, call detail records, instance of EPSFB, etc.) associated with the TAS can be used to make network improvements that decrease instances of EPSFB and increase an amount of new radio services available to UEs.

Abstract: Solutions for focused cellular network paging of a user equipment (UE) include: detecting, by a network, a network exit of the UE from a last known cell and an exit condition for the UE; determining, by the network, a network paging condition; based on at least the last known cell and the exit condition for the UE, determining, by the network, a set of priority paging cells; paging the UE with the set of priority paging cells; and based on at least failing to receive a response by paging the UE with the set of priority paging cells, paging the UE with a larger set of cells. In some examples, the network topology is also used for determining the set of priority paging cells. By starting with the set of priority paging cells, rather than wider global paging, fewer cells are used for paging, thereby saving network bandwidth.

In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a server, data inputted into a first computing device of a first user. The actions further include, determining, by the server, a future location of a second user and a future time when the second user will likely be at the future location. The actions further include determining, by the server, a second computing device of the second user. The actions further include providing, for output to the second computing device, instructions to provide, to the server, location information of the second computing device based on a location of the second computing device being at least a threshold distance from the future location at the future time.

Abstract: An edge computing device receives, from a user device via an isolated local area network, a request for computing services that are hosted on the edge computing device and not on the user device. The edge computing device accesses policies that are applicable to the user device and the requested computing services. Based on the policies and the requested computing services, the edge computing device instantiates a container configured to provide the requested computing services. The container receives offloaded processing tasks from the device. The container executes the offloaded processing tasks, and sends, to the user device, data indicative of the processed tasks.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices to reduce the channel estimation overhead by collecting data from many UEs and building a location-based mathematical model are disclosed. During building of the model, a reference signal is used to collect location- and signal-related data from connected UEs. Once the model is successfully built, it is then transmitted and/or downloaded to each new UE that connects to the base station. The UEs and/or the base stations then use this model to determine their own transmission parameter values. The UEs also report their location to the base stations, which use the model to estimate channel conditions and adapt transmission parameters for themselves.

Abstract: A wireless backhaul link is established between an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and an IAB donor node via a Narrow-Band Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) or frequency division duplex (FDD) carrier. The IAB donor node may provide the IAB node with access to a wired backhaul connection that links to a core network of a wireless carrier network. One or more corresponding backhaul links are established between the IAB node and one or more additional IAB nodes via a one or more corresponding NB-IoT or FDD carriers. A wireless access link is established between the IAB node and an NB-IoT user device or between the IAB donor node and the NB-IoT user device via an NB-IoT carrier. Additional wireless access links may be established between a wireless user device and the IAB node via at least one of a TDD, FDD, or NB-IoT carrier.

Abstract: Intelligent event-based network routing is described herein. A device connected to a first network can determine an occurrence of an event and, responsive to determining the occurrence of the event, can determine contextual data associated with the event. The device can retrieve a data model that has been trained based on historical network usage data indicating one or more network usage patterns associated with the device, and can analyze the contextual data based at least in part on the data model to determine whether a change to a second network is warranted. Based on an output of the data model, the device can effectuate a change from the first network to the second network or refrain from effectuating a change from the first network to the second network. That is, intelligent event-based network routing can facilitate routing data communication based on user preferences to optimize user experience.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for facilitating a primary account holder (PAH) of a client account to control access privileges of service features that are accessible by secondary account holders (SAH), via the client account. More specifically, an Access Privilege Control (APC) system is described that enables the PAH to generate access privilege rules that control the use of service features by a SAH, that are accessible via the client device(s) associated with the client account. The APC system may associate a set of updated access privilege rules with virtual profile data for clients associated with the client account. The virtual profile data may be transmitted to client devices, or subset thereof, associated with the client account. Further, the APC system may monitor an operation of client devices associated with the client account and provide one or more recommendations to update access privilege rules based on monitored service feature usage.

Abstract: A system uses signals received from actual user equipment (UE) to build in real time a reception pattern for base stations in a cellular communication system. Each UE is assigned a unique tone to broadcast so that a controller can analyze radio coverage by analyzing which base stations received signals from each UE in a coverage area. Cellular base stations necessarily have overlapping coverage and are assigned unique channel access values to avoid repeating values from overlapping cell sites. As overlaps change in real time, in response to live events, traffic jams, site outages, and new sites, signals received from UEs in the coverage area provide a real time view of system coverage. This allows better allocation of channel access values than prior art historical performance indicators using base station and controller call errors.

Abstract: The disclosed system identifies international calling performance issues of a wireless telecommunication network. The system receives network traffic data for international calls including information about call attempts to a country. The system categorizes the country into a major category and a minor category based on the call attempts information. For a subset of countries, and for each key performance indicator in a subset of selected key performance indicators, the system monitors performance using an anomaly detection model to identify an anomaly in network performance, determines an actual value of the key performance indicator for the detected anomaly, and computes a variation value of the determined actual value based on a predicted range of values. The system ranks countries using the computed variation values, to indicate problematic parts of the wireless telecommunication network.

Abstract: Techniques for asymmetric dynamic spectrum sharing are discussed herein. A first portion of spectrum can share spectrum between Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) radio access technologies (RATs). A second portion of spectrum can be allocated to a particular RAT without sharing. Thus, control signals associated with both RATs can be associated with the shared portion. However, for the portion not shared, control signals for the particular RAT (e.g., NR) can be used without the control signals from the other RAT (e.g., LTE), thereby increasing capacity in the portion not shared.

Abstract: A telecommunication network associated with a wireless telecommunication provider can be configured to dynamically switch the primary cell (PCell) used by user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation (CA) in 5G cellular networks. Instead of remaining anchored to an initially selected PCell, a different PCell may be dynamically selected based on different network conditions. The network conditions may include network congestion, network capacity, uplink speed, location of the UE, an activity of the UE (e.g., is the UE uploading or planning to upload data), and the like. As an example, the PCell may be selected from an n41 (2.5 GHz) cell and an n71 (600 MHz) cell. When the UE is close to the n41 cell, the n41 cell may be selected. When the UE is moving away from the cell center and toward the cell edge, the PCell may be switched from the n41 cell to the n71 cell.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and system related to wireless communications are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving, by a first access node in a first type of communication network, a request from a wireless device to establish a voice session with an Internet Protocol Multimedia System (IMS); initiating, by the first access node, an IMS voice session establishment for the wireless device; configuring, by the first access node, a Quality of Service (QoS) for the IMS voice session using a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session modification request; and determining, in part based on one or more capabilities of the wireless device, to refrain from triggering a fallback to a second type of communication network for the IMS voice session establishment.

Abstract: A call pattern associated with a telephone number of a subscriber of a wireless carrier network is monitored. The call pattern is then analyzed via a machine-learning algorithm to classify the subscriber into a subscriber classification category of multiple subscriber classification categories. A determination is made as to whether the subscriber classification category of the subscriber corresponds to a service plan type of a specific wireless service plan subscribed to by the subscriber for the telephone number. When the subscriber classification category fails to correspond to the plan type, an offer of an additional wireless service plan that corresponds to the subscriber classification category of the subscriber is sent to a user device of the subscriber. When the subscriber classification category corresponds to the service plan type, a caller category label is assigned to the subscriber that indicates the subscriber classification category of the subscriber.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for providing an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) solution are disclosed. In one example, a method for providing an eSIM solution to enterprises includes receiving, by a network server operated by a network operator, a request from an enterprise device management system requesting an eSIM profile for a communication device. The method also includes transmitting, by the network server, information to a discovery server associated with the communication device to register the communication device with the discovery sever.

Abstract: Techniques for allowing access based online charging in cases of multiple user agents (multi-UAs) scenarios where the instances are registered to different telephony application servers (TASs) are discussed herein. For example, a user device may support a native number and multiple virtual numbers linked via a user account. When servicing a call, the user device may determine a served number to service the call from. If the served number is not the native number but a virtual number, the native-line server may handle the call session, but the online charging session will be handled by the virtual-line server. The native-line server may use session initiation protocol (SIP) information to send updated information for charging parameters to the virtual-line server, including network access transfer for accuracy in online charging logic.
