Abstract: Techniques for performing a handover with dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) in a 5th generation (5G) network are described herein. A user equipment (UE) undergoing a handover is communicatively coupled to the 5G network based on a subscription type of the UE. The 5G network modifies policies and determines modified policies with dynamic QoS associated with the UE based on whether the subscription type restricts access for the UE to a public 5G network or allows the UE to access a private 5G network. The modified policies with dynamic QoS are utilized to determine communication parameters associated with the UE, which are provided to the UE based on a policy control create request transmitted to a policy control function (PCF), a policy modification request transmitted by the PCF to a session management function (SMF), a policy modification response transmitted by the SMF and to the PCF, and/or a policy control create response transmitted by the PCF.

Abstract: The disclosed technology proposes a new methodology to include the effect of speed and direction of a UE into the threshold used for determining when to switch between a 4G UL connection and a 5G UL connection. The system can use a lookup table with various speeds mapping to varying thresholds. The system can use an accelerometer sensor or digital compass to determine the direction of the vehicle, such as heading away from or toward the 5G site, so the vehicle can switch sooner from 5G-NR to LTE and from LTE to NR, respectively. For C-V2X applications, latency is an important factor because 5G technology provides shorter latency than 4G; thus keeping the link on 5G is preferred when under good coverage. Further, the idea is not limited to UL, 5G and/or vehicle technologies, but can also be applied to DL direction, Wi-Fi and/or drone technologies as well.

The UE transmits a message to the base station indicating the determined preference. The UE subsequently receives a response from the base station establishing a connection with the indicated preferred core network.
