Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network device of a radio access network receives a message, from an end device, that includes capability information of the end device, and the network device includes a first network interface to a first core network and a second network interface to a second core network. The network device determines whether to establish a first bearer, which pertains to the end device, with the first core network via the first network interface, or a second bearer, which pertains to the end device, with the second core network via the second network interface based on the capability information. The network device establishes the first bearer or the second bearer based on the determination.

Abstract: A method is provided for performing RAN-usage-based tracking in a wireless core network. The method includes receiving a connection authorization request from a radio access network (RAN); obtaining a plan code for a communication device associated with the connection authorization request; associating, based on the plan code, the communication device with a RAN-usage-based plan; and sending, in response to the associating, tracking instances of RAN usage by the communication device to a usage-tracking server device.

Abstract: A device may receive, from an access network, a mobile device identifier. The mobile device identifier may identify a mobile device that is connected to the access network. The device may receive or determine subscriber information associated with the mobile device identifier. The subscriber information may identify one or more users associated with the mobile device. The device may provide the mobile device identifier and the subscriber information for determination of an action indicator. The action indicator may indicate an action to perform with respect to the mobile device identifier. The device may receive the action indicator based on providing the mobile device identifier and the subscriber information. The device may provide the action indicator for routing toward the mobile device for performance of the action.

Abstract: A first device associated with an evolved packet core network receives a first update request from a second device associated with the evolved packet core network. The first update request is associated with a communication session previously provided between the first device and the second device, and the first update request is generated based on a voice/video request. The first device generates an update answer in response to the first update request, where the update answer includes a code requesting that the communication session be restored between the first device and the second device. The first device receives, based on the code, a second update request from the second device, where the second update request includes session information associated with the communication session. The first device restores, based on the session information, the communication session between the first device and the second device to create a restored communication session.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a mobile device and via a first radio access network, a request for a service. The device may receive a mobile device identifier that identifies the mobile device on a second radio access network. The second radio access network may be a different type of radio access network than the first radio access network. The device may provide the mobile device identifier to an equipment identity register. The device may receive, from the equipment identity register, an authentication indicator that indicates whether to permit or deny access to the service by the mobile device and via the first radio access network. The device may selectively permit or deny the mobile device access to the service, via the first radio access network, based on the authentication indicator.

Abstract: A device receives information associated with a voice-over-long term evolution (VoLTE) call from multiple network devices that handle the VoLTE call and that are provided in an evolved packet system (EPS). The device identifies particular parameters from the information associated with the VoLTE call, and combines the particular parameters into an end-to-end call record for the VoLTE call. The device outputs or stores the end-to-end call record for the VoLTE call.

Abstract: The binding of addresses and port ranges is performed by a device, based on network usage conditions. The device may determine a port block size, indicating a quantity of ports, to allocate to client devices. The device may transmit a message including an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a port range. The message may indicate that the IP address and port range is to be allocated to the one of the client devices based on an order of a first port value and a second port value in the port range, where the port range covers a quantity of ports corresponding to the port block size.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a user device, a request to access a long term evolution (LTE) network; sending, to one or more servers of a group of servers, a query to obtain information associated with a respective traffic condition and processing capacity; identifying a particular server via which to establish a communication session with the user device based on a determination that the particular server has a reserve processing capacity that is greater than a respective reserve processing capacity associated with other ones of the servers, where the reserve processing capacity is based on a traffic condition and processing capacity associated with the particular server; and sending, to the particular server, an instruction to establish the communication session, where sending the instruction enables the particular server to establish the communication session via which the user device is to access the network.

Abstract: An exemplary method includes generating an access record associated with a data session provided by at least one access layer element over an access network, generating an application record associated with an application provided by at least one application layer element over the access network, transmitting data representative of a correlation parameter associated with application from the at least one application layer element to the at least one access layer element via an inter-layer liaison subsystem, and inserting the correlation parameter associated with application and received from the at least one application layer element via the inter-layer liaison subsystem in the access record. In some examples, the method further includes correlating the access record and the application record based on the correlation parameter associated with the application. Other exemplary inter-layer parameter liaison methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: DNS requests associated with a network call flow may be proactively predicted. A method may include receiving a model relating DNS queries to DNS queries that are likely to be subsequently issued by other network devices; receiving a first DNS query, the first DNS query being received from a first network device; predicting additional DNS queries that are likely to be issued by the other network devices; and transmitting responses to the predicted DNS queries to other network devices.

Abstract: A fully qualified domain name may be used to identify a session initiation protocol server with which a client device may connect to IMS services in a network. In one implementation, a network device may receive a request to register a client device for IMS services. The network device may determine a fully qualified domain name corresponding to one or more SIP servers that process SIP signaling packets for the client device and transmit a message initiating resolution of the fully qualified domain name into a plurality of IP addresses.
