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. The device obtains information indicating that the destination user device can receive messages that conform to a particular format from a third network device and converts the message to the particular format. The device determines a reachability of the destination user device based on the list of the plurality of user devices, after converting the message, and sends the message to the destination user device via the first network device based on the reachability. The device receives a delivery message from the destination user device and sends a notification message indicating successful delivery of the message to the second network device based on the delivery message.

Abstract: A device may determine that an application server requires an IPv6 address of a user equipment, and may provide, to another network device, a request for the IPv6 address of the user equipment, wherein the request includes data identifying an IP address of the network device and a port of the network device, and wherein the request is to cause the other network device to provide the request for the IPv6 address to the user equipment via a SMS request message, and receive, from the user equipment, data identifying the IPv6 address and a port of the user equipment via a SMS response message. The network device may receive, from the other network device, a response that includes the data identifying the IPv6 address and the port of the user equipment, and may store the data identifying the IPv6 address and the port of the user equipment.

Abstract: A device may send a first message to a user device requesting information identifying a radio access technology (RAT) or a band supported by and enabled on the user device. The device may receive an indication of the RAT or band supported by and enabled on the user device and send, to the user device, a second message instructing the user device to modify the RAT or band enabled on the user device. The second message may include an indication of updated RAT or band information. The device may receive from the user device, a confirmation that the RAT or band enabled on the user device has been modified.

Abstract: A device may receive signal information associated with a wireless signal or charge information associated with a charge level. The signal information may indicate a signal strength of the wireless signal. The charge information may indicate the charge level of a battery of the device. The device may determine whether the signal strength or the charge level satisfies a threshold. The device may configure a parameter or a setting of the device to cause the device to operate according to a long term evolution (LTE) category based on determining whether the signal strength or the charge level satisfies the threshold. The LTE category may be different from a default LTE category of the device and may define an uplink/downlink capability specification. The device may attach to a network in association with configuring the parameter or the setting to cause the device to operate according to the LTE category.

The base station may perform one or more actions associated with changing a state of the UE based on receiving the connection release acknowledgement message.
