Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which beam configuration management service is provided. A network device of a wireless access network provides the service that includes identifying redundant configurations across carriers associated with a cell group, and links the common beam configurations to these carriers. The service also includes identifying any difference in beam configurations relative to the common beam configurations for a carrier. The service may transmit this beam configuration information in a control plane message to an end device. The end device may use the beam configuration information.

Abstract: A network device determines radio frequency (RF) conditions at a first endpoint and a second endpoint of a call or session. The network device determines optimum first codec parameters for the determined RF conditions at the first endpoint of the call or session, and determines optimum second codec parameters for the determined RF conditions at the second endpoint of the call or session. The network device sends the first codec parameters to the first endpoint for altering operation of a first codec at a first device at the first endpoint. The network device sends the second codec parameters to the second endpoint for altering operation of a second codec at a second device at the second endpoint.

Abstract: A device may receive a signal from a wireless station; and determine a network-permitted Time Division Duplex (TDD) uplink duty cycle based on the signal. If the determined network-permitted TDD uplink duty cycle is greater than a maximum allowable TDD uplink duty cycle for the device, when the device performs TDD uplink transmission after receiving a scheduling grant from the wireless station, the device may decrease the TDD uplink duty cycle of the device or may decrease a time-average transmission power of the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein improve a customer experience for non-standalone cellular networks by displaying a secondary cell group (SCG) network icon after data activity ends while a user device likely remains in SCG coverage. When connected to the SCG, the user device detects inactivity on the connection and initiates a first timer, based on the detecting, while continuing to present an SCG-related icon. If the first timer expires while the user device is in an idle state, the user device initiates a second timer, while continuing to present the SCG-related icon. If the user device detects an active connection before expiration of the second timer, the user device initiates a third timer while continuing to present the SCG-related icon. If the user device fails to detect a connection to the SCG before expiration of the third timer, a master cell group (MCG)-related icon is displayed.

Abstract: A base station may define power saving profiles, and may define, for the power saving profiles, sets of features and parameter settings for each feature of the sets of features. The base station may store the power saving profiles, the sets of features, and the parameter settings in a data structure, and may receive, from a user equipment, data identifying a service utilized by the user equipment or an operation mode of the user equipment. The base station may retrieve, from the data structure, a single power saving profile based on the data identifying the service utilized by the user equipment or the operation mode of the user equipment, and may enable, for the user equipment, a corresponding set of features and corresponding parameter settings of the single power saving profile based on the single power saving profile being retrieved from the data structure.

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: 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.

The network device may provide the service-level identifier to the user equipment based on the performance metric satisfying the performance threshold, wherein the service-level identifier enables an indication that the user equipment is receiving the particular level of service to be displayed by the user equipment.
