Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for traffic aware slice management in a wireless network. A method includes receiving a request from a wireless device at an access node and tagging the request at the access node with a priority. The method additionally includes transmitting the tagged request to a policy mapper of a core network and receiving a policy from a core network policy mapper based on the tagged request. The method further includes scheduling the request based on the received policy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for allocating uplink air interface resources in a manner that allows particular user equipment devices (UEs) to apply less attenuation than may be specified more generally for UEs served by a base station of a wireless service provider. The base station may operate on a carrier band, serving UEs that are subscribers of the wireless service provider as well as UEs roaming in the base station's coverage area from another service provider. To avoid uplink transmission power leakage across the edges of the carrier band, the base station may broadcast a message to all the UEs notifying them to attenuate their respective transmission levels. The base station may allocate uplink air interface resources to subscribing UEs from a particular portion of the carrier band that allows them to transmit using less attenuation than roaming UEs and still avoid power leakage across the band edges.

Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus to help avoid a scenario where a wireless communication device registers within a first radio access network (RAN) but then fails to transition from that first RAN to engage in a communication on a second RAN. When a WCD detects coverage of the first RAN, the WCD may condition its registration with the first RAN on the WCD also being within coverage of the second RAN.
