Publication number: 20240340979Abstract: System and methods for statically selecting a session management function (SMF) or a user plane function (UPF) for a user equipment are described. A mobile device (UE) may transmit a connection request to a 5G core network. A static selection user interface receives inputs of UE and an SMF to associate with the UE. When the UE transmits a connection request, an identifier of the UE is used by a network function repository function (NRF). The NRF accesses an NRF datastore using the identifier. If an SMF is associated with the UE, the NRF returns the SMF instance of the associated SMF to an access management function (AMF) handling the connection request.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2023Publication date: October 10, 2024Inventors: Praveen Singaram Muthukumar, Aziz Motiwala

Publication number: 20240205664Abstract: System and methods for efficient user plane function (UPF) selection are described. A mobile device (UE) may transmit a connection request to a 5G core network. The connection request can include an indication that the type of data to be serviced is IPv4-type traffic. The access management function (AMF) receives the request from a base station (e.g., gNodeB) and queries a network function repository function (NRF) for an identification of a session management function (SMF). The selected SMF queries a session management function datastore. If the SMF selected by the NRF is capable of IPV4 traffic, the identification of the SMF is returned to the AMF. If the SMF is not capable of IPV4 traffic, the identification of a capable SMF using the information received in the SMF status datastore is returned to the AMF through a 308 code. The mobile device is thereafter connected to the capable UPF.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2023Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Praveen Singaram Muthukumar, Kameswaran Arunachalam, Kunal Prakash Barawkar, Aziz Motiwala, Rahul Pal, Rushabhkumar Patel, Suresh Thanneeru

Publication number: 20240064680Abstract: A wireless communication network handles Session Management Function (SMF) outage in a Tracking Area (TA). An external SMF that is outside the TA registers with an internal Network Repository Function (NRF) that is inside in the TA. The internal NRF detects the SMF outage for an internal SMF inside the TA. The internal NRF receives an SMF request from an internal Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) inside the TA. In response to the SMF outage, the internal NRF transfers an SMF response to the internal AMF that indicates the external SMF. The external SMF receives network signaling from the internal AMF and responsively directs an external User Plane Function (UPF) that is outside the TA to exchange user data with internal wireless access nodes that are inside the TA.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Kunal Prakash Barawkar, John Paul Tuscano Cruz, Swetha Gopisetti, Aziz Motiwala, Praveen Singaram Muthukumar, Rahul Pal, Rushabhkumar Dahyabhai Patel, Suresh Thanneeru

Patent number: 11817997Abstract: Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to method for connecting a communication device to a data network via a network, e.g., a wireless communication network, and preventing the communication device from overriding a DNS selection by an operator of the network. The method includes receiving, from a communication device, e.g., an electronic device, a request to connect to a data network, e.g., the Internet, via a wireless communication network. A response message may be provided to the communication device, where the response message comprises (i) a configuration setting for the communication device to use domain name system (DNS) internet protocol (IP) addresses provided by an operator of the wireless communication network when accessing the data network and (ii) a data bit disabling the communication device from overriding the configuration setting. Connection of the communication device to the data network is then facilitated via the wireless communication network.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Aziz Motiwala, Kameswaran Arunachalam, Ramesh Kalathur
