  • Patent number: 11930369
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards network slice pre-configuration for cellular communication systems, including 5G and subsequent generation cellular communication systems. Network equipment can be preconfigured to identify whether a network slice identifier included in a network communication belongs to a group of network slice identifiers. If so, the network equipment can process the network communication either according to a network slice rule that corresponds specifically to the network slice identifier, or according to a default group network slice rule for the group to which the network slice identifier belongs. Different groups of network slice identifiers can be associated with different sets of group network slice rules which can be arranged to reduce the work of setting up network slice identifiers in various network slicing scenarios.

  • Publication number: 20240073744
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes detecting that a user equipment device has moved to a location in a telecommunications network in which a first network route is available, where the first network route has a higher priority than a second network route with which an application executing on the user equipment device has established a current protocol data unit session, determining that the application should switch the current protocol data unit session to the first network route, and supporting the application in switching the current protocol data unit session from the second network route to the first network route.

  • Publication number: 20230020027
    Abstract: Dynamic network resource slice partition size adjustment is provided herein. A method can include partitioning resources enabled via a communication network among network slices of the communication network, the network slices comprising an expandable network slice and a contractable network slice, obtaining a resource usage value for the expandable network slice, the resource usage value indicating a first proportion of the resources enabled via the communication network being used by the expandable network slice, and in response to the resource usage value being greater than a threshold, reallocating a portion of the resources enabled via the communication network from the contractable network slice to the expandable network slice, the portion of the resources being defined based on a function of a ratio of the first proportion to a second proportion of the resources enabled via the communication network being used by the contractable network slice.

  • Publication number: 20210211925
    Abstract: A system can facilitate assigning guaranteed bitrate (GBR) admission control thresholds in a network with multiple network slices serving multiple GBR services. Thus, each network slice can optionally have its own dedicated GBR admission. For example, based on a requested service, the system can compare a received quality indicator to a threshold value to determine if a bearer shall be admitted in accordance with dedicated GBR admission control region within its slice. If the slice does not have its own GBR admission control region or if its threshold is reached, the system can compare the received quality indicator to another threshold value to determine if the bearer shall be admitted in accordance with a common GBR admission control region.

  • Patent number: 9756494
    Abstract: A processor receives a request to access the service via the software client. The processor sends to a network service provider a request for validation of a current location as to a coverage of an emergency service, when the current location was not previously validated for the coverage of the emergency service. The processor determines whether a response is received from the network service provider, indicating that the current location is validated for the coverage of the emergency service, wherein the response includes an address identifier associated with the current location for accessing the emergency service. The processor performs a registration with the network service provider via the software client at the current location, when the response is received indicating that the current location is validated for the coverage of the emergency service and enables the user to access the service via the software client at the current location.

  • Patent number: 9730043
    Abstract: In compliance with regulatory requirements imposed on multicarrier wired/wireless network carriers, the disclosed system receives input representing a selection of a street address to be used as a current location associated with a user identity. The system determines an expiration date associated with the street address, designates the street address as a validated emergency contact location for the user identity in response to determining that the expiration date associated with the street address has not expired. The system thereafter permits the establishment of communications between the system and a disparate wireless network device associated with a multicarrier wireless network.
