Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in which an predictive discontinuous reception (DRX) bypass service is provided. The bypass service may provide flow control signaling that enables an uplink grant to be transmitted to an end device regardless of the DRX mode. The bypass service may provide for an immediate grant for uplink data and may improve latency. The bypass service may also provide flow control signaling for downlink data that may cause the end device to wake up from a DRX mode and receive downlink data. The bypass service also provides predictive scheduling that allows an external network, such as a multi-access edge computing network to establish a DRX-free downlink connection before completion of data processing. The flow control signaling may include a quality of service flow identifier value that correlates to the bypass service.

Abstract: A management system obtains, from a user device, information indicating a power measurement of a beam set that is utilized to communicate with the user device. The beam set includes one or more active beams, of a plurality of beams, that are associated with a single beam identifier. The management system identifies a location of the user device and thereby determines an expected power measurement of the beam set. The management system determines that a difference between the power measurement of the beam set and the expected power measurement of the beam set satisfies (e.g., is greater than or equal to) a difference threshold. The management system therefore causes the beam set to be modified. The management system may use a machine learning model (e.g., a neural network machine learning model) to facilitate modification of the beam set.
