Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a communication interface between control functions of a network core and a network data node associated with a user side packet core are discussed herein. The system can enable configuration information to be stored and dynamically updated by the network data node such that control nodes of the user side packet core requesting service from the network core are provided with up to date configuration information associated with active control functions. As control functions are activated and deactivated, the configuration information can be updated to reflect the current state of the network core and ensure that user device connects are routed to active control functions configured to provide user requested services.

Abstract: A service-area repeater for deployment in a service area to provide capacity supplied by a base station located remotely from the service-area repeater includes downlink circuitry to receive, via a donor antenna coupled to the service-area repeater, transformed RF downlink signals transmitted from the base station or a base-station repeater, the base station transforming original RF downlink signals or the base-station repeater transforming original RF downlink signals received from the base station to produce the transformed RF downlink signals. The downlink circuitry includes a signal transformation circuit to de-transform the received transformed RF downlink signals to generate non-transformed downlink signals and a frequency correction circuit to apply a frequency correction to the downlink signals to produce corrected downlink signals. The downlink circuitry wirelessly transmits the corrected downlink signals via a coverage antenna to user equipment in the service area.

Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters comprising a value for a bandwidth part inactivity timer. Downlink control information, indicating a resource assignment, is received on a primary cell. The bandwidth part inactivity timer of an active bandwidth part of the primary cell is started in response to determining that no random access procedure is ongoing on a secondary cell. A switch from the active bandwidth part to a default bandwidth part is made in response to an expiry of the bandwidth part inactivity timer.

Abstract: A base station may transmit a control channel transmission during a configured discovery reference signal window on a shared spectrum. A user equipment (UE) may detect the control channel transmission from the base station during the configured discovery reference signal window on the shared spectrum. The UE may determine, in response to detecting the control channel transmission, expected synchronization signal block (SSB) positions within a maximum SSB burst length starting from the control channel transmission during the discovery reference signal window. The base station may transmit SSBs at the expected SSB positions within the maximum SSB burst length starting from the control channel transmission during the discovery reference signal window. The UE may measure SSBs at the expected SSB positions. The UE may conserve power by stopping measurements or entering a sleep mode after the expected SSB positions.

Abstract: Internet gateway provisioning and evaluation of embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) privileges is provided. The Internet gateway receives, from a device, a request to provision an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) of the device. The Internet gateway, in response to receiving the request to provision the eSIM of the device, causes the eSIM of the device to be provisioned with a profile. Provisioning the eSIM gives the device an ability to authenticate with a base station for communicating, via the base station, over a cellular communication protocol. The Internet gateway, after causing the eSIM to be provisioned, determines whether at least one criterion is met. The at least one criterion is for retaining or denying the ability of the device to authenticate with the base station. The Internet gateway, sends data, to a server, indicating that the at least one criterion is met.
