Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to detect that a communication session in a private cellular wireless network is associated with an application and determine that data units associated with the communication session match a network slicing rule associated with the private cellular wireless network. The processor may be further configured to classify the communication session to a network slice based on the network slicing rule and assign the data units associated with the communication session to the network slice.

Abstract: A method may include receiving an attach request that includes an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) and an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), and determining whether the IMEI is associated with a user device that is not allowed to attach to the network. The method may also include determining whether the IMSI included in the attach request is stored in a database, and determining whether an IMEI associated with the IMSI is stored in the database. The method may further include determining whether the IMEI stored in the database matches the IMEI included in the attach request and denying the attach request in response to determining that the IMEI stored in the database does not match the IMEI included in the attach request.

Abstract: A method in a communication network is disclosed. The network comprises first and second transport mediums connected in series. Access to the first and second transport mediums is controlled by first and second MACs, respectively. A traffic client of the second MAC receives traffic on the first transport medium for forwarding to the second transport medium. The method comprises receiving from the first MAC information about traffic demands from traffic clients of the first MAC. The method further comprises using the received information, together with information about traffic demands from traffic clients of the second MAC, as input to making a medium access grant decision for the second MAC, wherein the medium access grant decision for the second MAC implements a coordination between traffic access to the first and second transport media. The method also comprises instructing implementation of the medium access grant decision for the second MAC.

Abstract: A method for management of traffic in a communication network is disclosed, the communication network comprising a first transport medium and a second transport medium connected in series with the first transport medium, access to the first transport medium controlled by a first Medium Access Controller (MAC) and access to the second transport medium controlled by a second MAC, wherein a traffic client of the second MAC receives traffic on the first transport medium for forwarding to the second transport medium. The method comprises receiving from the first MAC information about traffic demands from traffic clients of the first MAC. The method further comprises using the received information, together with information about traffic demands from traffic clients of the second MAC, as input to making a medium access grant decision for the second MAC, wherein the medium access grant decision for the second MAC implements a coordination between traffic access to the first and second transport media.
