  • Patent number: 12284709
    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to on-demand ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) are provided. In one embodiment, a base station (BS) receives, from a user equipment (UE) in a first cell frequency, a request for a protocol data unit (PDU) session over a network slice. The BS receives, from a core network entity, a resource configuration request for the PDU session over the network slice. The BS transmits, to the core network entity, a resource configuration response indicating a cause for rejecting the resource configuration request. In one embodiment, a UE transmits, in a first cell frequency of a network, a network registration request message requesting a network slice of the network that is not provided by the first cell frequency. The UE receives a network registration response message indicating the network slice is allowed based on a second cell frequency of the network providing the network slice requested.

  • Patent number: 12279230
    Abstract: A method of handling Paging Early Indication with Paging Subgrouping (PEIPS) assistance information when a UE is registered to the same or different PLMN/SNPN networks is proposed. The PEIPS assistance information includes PEIPS parameters such as a PEIPS subgroup ID that is used by the UE for monitoring paging with PEIPS for power saving. If the UE registers to the same PLMN/SNPN via 3GPP access and non-3GPP access, then the UE handles the PEIPS parameters as one common parameters. If the UE registers to different PLMN/SNPN via 3GPP access and non-3GPP access, then the UE handles the PEIPS parameters as two independent parameters.

  • Patent number: 12231882
    Abstract: The disclosed system obtains an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) range of multiple UEs operating on a first network. The system obtains a subscription profile and authentication credentials of a UE among the multiple UEs. The system stores the IMSI range, a first subscription profile, and the authentication credentials in a second database of a second network. The second network provides connectivity to the UE when the UE is outside the limited geographical range of the first network. The system receives a request from the UE to connect to the second network when the UE is outside the limited geographical range. The system reduces network traffic by authenticating the UE using the authentication credentials stored in the second database and determining that the service is authorized to be provided to the UE based on the subscription profile stored in the second database without communicating with the first network. Upon authenticating the UE, the system provides the service to the UE.
