Abstract: In some implementations, a network element may identify gaming traffic associated with a user equipment (UE). The network element may detect a traffic pattern associated with the gaming traffic. The network element may determine that the UE is associated with a prioritized service, wherein the prioritized service is associated with network slicing. The network element may perform a network scheduling for the UE that prioritizes the gaming traffic associated with the UE over non-gaming traffic associated with another UE, wherein the network scheduling is based on the traffic pattern and the UE being associated with the prioritized service.

Abstract: A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: determine whether a network demand for the device to send or receive data is below a threshold; if the network demand is below threshold, determine whether a network to which the device is wirelessly connected is congested; and when it is determined that the network is not congested, decrease processing capabilities at the device to process the network demand.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an admission and congestion control service is provided. The service may dynamically reconfigure admission control information of an end device. The admission control information may include one or multiple types of access class values of the end device or an application of the end device.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an cellular preference service. The cellular preference service may include a network-side service that manages cellular access preference relative to non-cellular access offload for end devices. The cellular preference service may transmit information to the end devices that may be used to override or direct use of cellular access when non-cellular access is available. The cellular preference service may include an end device side service that manages cellular access preference relative to non-cellular access offload based on the information received from the network.

Abstract: A device, such as a User Equipment (“UE”), may identify that the device is communicatively coupled to a wireless network via a particular network slice. The particular network slice may be associated with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”), or the like. The UE may determine the particular network slice based on a slice identifier provided by a network interface of the device, based on attributes of traffic sent or received via the wireless network, and/or based on attributes of a wireless connection between the device and the wireless network. The device may identify a slice indicator associated with the particular network slice, and may present the slice indicator via a user interface of the device. The presented slice indicator may notify a user of the device that the particular network slice is being used for traffic sent or received via the device.

Abstract: A system may receive a request to perform a firmware update on an Internet of Things (IoT) device and determine whether the IoT device is capable of switching from a first mode to a second mode. The IoT device sends and receives data via first channels when the IoT device is operating in the first mode and the IoT device sends and receives data via second channels when the IoT device is operating in the second mode. The system instructs the IoT device to switch to the second mode in response to determining that the IoT device is capable of switching to the second mode and sends the firmware update to the IoT device while the IoT device is in the second mode. The system determines that the firmware update has been completed and instructs the IoT device to switch from the second mode to the first mode when the firmware update has been completed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may store a default user equipment route selection policy (URSP) and may receive, from a fourth-generation (4G) core network, a default protocol configuration option (PCO) value for a default network slice of the 4G core network. The UE may utilize the default network slice based on the default URSP and the default PCO value and may receive a request to update the default URSP with a new URSP associated with a new network slice of the 4G core network. The UE may update the default URSP with the new URSP to generate an updated URSP and may receive, from the 4G core network, a new PCO value for the new network slice of the 4G core network. The UE may utilize the default network slice and the new network slice based on the updated URSP, the default PCO value, and the new PCO value.

Abstract: A serving gateway device (SGW) can cause establishment of a requested connection to a first PDN for a user device. The SGW can cause suspension of the connection to the first PDN and establishment of a requested connection to a second PDN for the user device based on a requested connection to a second PDN for a user device. The SGW can cause termination of the connection to the second PDN based on the respective end time associated with the second PDN, and cause restoration of the connection to the first PDN after the connection to the second PDN is terminated.

Abstract: An Internet of Things (IoT) device may receive a network configuration profile including one or more parameters relating to a scan interval and a mode priority of the IoT device indicating a priority for a first IoT network over a second IoT network. The IoT device may scan for an availability of the first IoT network. Based on determining that the first IoT network is unavailable, the IoT device may scan for an availability of the second IoT network. Based on determining that the second IoT network is available, the IoT device may initiate a network connection with the second IoT network. While connected to the second IoT network, the IoT device may scan for the availability of the first IoT network. Based on determining that the first IoT network is available, the IoT device may initiate a network connection with the first IoT network.

Abstract: An IoT device may maintain a list of cells that fail to support features of the IoT device and may scan a designated frequency band to identify strongest cells in the designated frequency band. The IoT device may decode one or more signals from one or more of the identified strongest cells that are not included in the list and may determine, based on the decoded one or more signals, a first subset of the one or more of the identified strongest cells that support features of the IoT device and a second subset of the one or more of the identified strongest cells that fail to support features of the IoT device. The IoT device may select a particular cell of the first subset of the one or more of the identified strongest cells that support features of the IoT device and may attach to the particular cell.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a false grant detection service. An end device may receive downlink control information when in a discontinuous reception active state. The downlink control information may include a new downlink transmission grant or a new uplink transmission grant. When downlink data pertaining to the new downlink transmission grant is unsuccessfully decoded, the end device may identify the new downlink transmission grant as a potential false grant and invoke a verification procedure. Depending on the result of the verification procedure, the end device may or may not start a discontinuous reception inactivity timer depending on whether the potential false grant is deemed a false grant or a valid grant. Similarly, the end device may invoke a verification procedure for a new uplink transmission grant. The detection of false grants may minimize the waste of power for the end device.

Abstract: A device obtains a list of a plurality of user devices from a first network device and receives a message intended for a destination user device from a second network device.
