Abstract: In a 4G LTE wireless carrier network, network slice instances are instantiated that are configured to provide a configured set of services that are accessible to a controlled set of user devices. A service profile for a user device is identified and analyzed. When the service profile matches a configured set of services for one of the instantiated network slice instances, the user device is enabled to access the matching instantiated network instance. The provisioning of the network slice instances is performed by a dedicated node.

Abstract: A system can include a network analysis platform for a two-level grid-based anomaly area identification and solution nomination in a radio access network. The network analysis platform can map key performance indicators for user sessions in the network to a grid that overlays a geographic area. The grid can be based on a military grid reference system. A machine-learning model can take a vector of key performance indicator samples as input and identify a problem for the grid. The network analysis platform can nominate cells to attempt to remediate based on ranking poor performing bins in the grid and determining the cells that contribute most to the problem in each bin. For a nominated cell, the network analysis platform can perform remediation actions to solve a coverage problem, throughput problem, or both. The problem can be solved for the grid while preventing conflicts between individual cells.

Abstract: A system and method may improve service setup time and reliability for user equipment (UE) fallback procedures in cellular networks. Logic in the UE may define an event to trigger a measurement report and send that measurement report to the base station upon initiating fallback procedures. This event and measurement report may allow the 5G base station (g-NB) to know which frequency is going to be the best choice at the time of setting up the voice service by looking at radio signal strength indicators coming from the 5G UE for each frequency in the measurement report. Incorporating the measurement report process into the logic of the UE for call setup that also includes the fallback process for may result in substantially faster call setup time as well as better voice call success rate.
