Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for the selective connection of a User Equipment (“UE”), that is camped on a Fifth Generation (“5G”) network during a Voice over WiFi (“VoWiFi”) call, to another network (e.g., a Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) network). In this manner, if the WiFi connection is dropped, the UE may resume the call via the LTE network rather than first handing over to the 5G network.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide reliable voice connections and highest possible data rates in New Radio dual-connectivity environments, given limitations of available spectrum. A system includes a first wireless station and a second wireless station. The first wireless station provides a shared spectrum of a first frequency band, the shared spectrum including a first spectrum for a first cellular wireless standard and a second spectrum for a second cellular wireless standard. The second wireless station is at least partially within a coverage area of the first wireless station and provides a third spectrum for the second cellular wireless standard. The third spectrum is a millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum. The first wireless station broadcasts cell parameters barring an end device in an idle mode from camping on the second spectrum. The first wireless station or the second wireless station triggers the end device to swap to the second spectrum when a paging request for a voice call is received.

Abstract: A user device may provide, to a network, a first request to attach to the network and a second request for management and administrative services associated with the network. The user device may receive a first response indicating whether the first request is granted. The user device may receive, when the first response indicates that the first request is granted, a second response indicating whether the second request is granted. The user device may provide to the network, when the second response indicates that the second is granted, a third request for an activation status of the user device and may receive, from the network, a third response indicating the activation status. The user device may update, based on the third response, an activation flag indicating the activation status and may provide, for display, a message indicating the activation status of the user device based on the activation flag.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein bring a 5G standalone-capable end device back into 5G service to leverage the 5G network's data capacity as soon as a VoLTE call is over. A network device receives a fallback connection, for a 5G New Radio (NR) standalone-capable end device, from a second network to the first network to support a voice call on the end device, wherein the fallback connection supports a voice-over-LTE call. The network device detects an end of the VoLTE call and initiates, in response to the detecting, a handover of the end device back to the second network, wherein the initiating occurs while the end device is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode.

The user device may execute an application stored in the user device based on receiving a selection of the application, where execution of the application may cause data to be generated. The user device may identify a slice of the network to which to route the data based on the network slice selection assistance information included in the default table. The user device may cause the data to be routed to the slice of the network identified based on the network slice selection assistance information included in the default table.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for ensuring that a User Equipment (“UE”) is provided an opportunity to scan for available cells in a wireless network in a manner that allows the UE to detect cells according to a particular radio frequency (“RF”) band. When receiving a measurement report from the UE that does not include cells implementing the particular RF band, a timer may be initiated during which subsequent measurement reports may be received from the UE. If a subsequent measurement from the UE includes a cell corresponding to the particular RF band, the UE may be instructed to connect to such a cell. Otherwise, the UE may be instructed to connect to another cell that does not implement the particular RF band.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for scanning for cells in a wireless network in a prioritized manner. A User Equipment (“UE”) may receive a neighboring cell list (“NCL”) or other indication of candidate cells for scanning. The UE may rank the candidate cells (e.g., based on which radio frequency (“RF”) band(s) are implemented by the candidate cells), and scan for the presence of the candidate cells in an order that is based on the ranking.
