Abstract: A wireless communication network comprises a wireless UE, a source access node, a target access node, and a network controller. The UE identifies an active media session, a UE fallback capability, and a network fallback availability. The UE measures a signal metric for the target access node and indicates the signal metric and UE fallback capability to the source access node. The source access node receives the indication the signal metric and the UE fallback capability. The source access node receives an access modification message for the UE from the wireless network controller. In response, the source access node initiates the hand over and transfers a handover message to the network controller. The network controller receives the handover message, transfers a handover request to the target access node, receives an acceptance from the target access node, and transfers a handover command for the wireless UE to the source access node.

Abstract: A wireless communication network handsover a wireless User Equipment (UE) to a target communication network. A wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless UE and exchanges the user data with a User Plane Function (UPF). The UPF exchanges the user data with the wireless access node. An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) identifies a handover of the wireless UE from the wireless access node to the target communication network, and in response, identifies a Gateway Identifier (GW ID) for a data GW that is physically co-located with the UPF and transfers handover signaling indicating the GW ID to the target communication network. The target communication network exchanges additional user data with the wireless UE over the data GW in response to the GW ID in the handover signaling—possibly without using a Domain Name System (DNS) to determine the GW ID.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over multiple Data Network Names (DNNs). The wireless communication network comprises network circuitry and a Radio Access Network (RAN). The network circuitry executes a Unified Data Management (UDM), a Session Management Function (SMF), and an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). The UDM detects a DNN reattach condition for the wireless UE and transfers a DNN reattach message for the UE to the SMF. The SMF receives the DNN reattach message and responsively transfers the DNN reattach message to the AMF. The AMF receives the DNN reattach message for the wireless UE and responsively transfers an N2 Packet Data Unit (PDU) session reattach message for the wireless UE to the RAN. The AMF receives an N2 PDU session request from the RAN for the wireless UE and responsively selects a new SMF for the PDU session.

Abstract: A Fifth Generation (5G) access node exchanges user data with User Equipment (UE) and exchanges the user data with a 5G User Plane Function (UPF). A 5G Core (5GC) identifies a handover to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access node. In response, the 5GC selects an LTE Gateway Identifier (GW ID) for an LTE gateway that is physically co-located with the 5G UPF. The 5GC transfers handover signaling indicating the LTE GW ID and the LTE access node ID to a Mobility Management Entity (MME). The MME transfers signaling to the LTE access node and the LTE gateway. The LTE access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the UE and exchanges the user data with the LTE GW in response to the signaling. The LTE gateway exchanges the user data with the LTE access node.

Abstract: A predictive queue control and allocation system includes a queue and a queue control server communicatively coupled to the queue. The queue includes a first and second allocation of queue locations. The queue stores a plurality of resources. The queue control server includes an interface and a queue control engine implemented by a processor.

The queue control engine prioritizes the plurality of resources being received by the queue. The queue control engine may apply a machine learning technique to the plurality of resources. The queue control engine transfers the plurality of resources prioritized by the machine learning technique.

Abstract: A synthetically generated noise image is generated from at least one high signal-to-noise ratio target image and at least two zero-mean Gaussian noise images, scaled according to a noise scale. The images are combined in a non-linear manner to produce the synthetically generated noise image which can be used as a training image in a machine learning-based system that “denoises” images. The process can be repeated for a number of different noise scales to produce a set of training images. In one embodiment, the synthetically generated noise image IN is generated according to: IN=?{square root over (I12+I22)} where I is the original target image, I1=I+pG1 and I2=pG2, and where G1 and G2 are zero-mean Gaussian noise images, and p is the noise scale.

Abstract: Network circuitry authorizes User Equipment (UEs) for wireless services from wireless networks. The network circuitry stores lists of network identifiers that are associated with UE types. The network circuitry receives an authorization request that indicates a network identifier and a UE type. The UE type comprises model, operating system, user application, and/or radio frequency. The network circuitry retrieves a networks list for the UE type and compares the network identifier from the authorization request to the network identifiers on the network list. The authorization circuitry authorizes the UE responsive to a match between the network identifier from the authorization request and a network identifier on the network list.

Abstract: A deep learning (DL) network is proposed to mitigate artifacts in simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. For example, unaliased images generated from SMS aliased images can exhibit leakage artifacts due to inaccuracies in the receive-coil sensitives used during sensitivity encoding (SENSE) processing. To mitigate leakage artifacts, the DL network learns to correct the receive-coil sensitives before SENSE processing, and/or learns to detect and subtract the artifacts from the unaliased images after SENSE processing. The DL network can also be trained to denoise the unaliased images.

Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems and methods determine slice leakage and/or residual aliasing in the image domain in accelerated MRI imaging. Implementations process one slice of MRI image domain data by input to a sensitivity encoding (SENSE) un-aliasing matrix built from predetermined RF signal reception sensitivity maps, thereby producing as matrix output SENSE-decoded MRI image domain data for one pass through image slice and at least one extra slice, and determine inter-slice leakage and/or in-plane residual aliasing based on content of the at least one extra output slice from the SENSE-decoded MRI image domain data.
