Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for managing attachment requests for UEs in a wireless network environment comprising a first set of base stations and a second set of base stations when the first and second set of base stations have at least one unique network characteristic. By rejecting attachment requests to UEs attempting to access one or more base stations of the second set of base stations, the conventional cell selection and attachment process will drive UEs to attach to the first set of base stations.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) over an optimal wireless network slice for a user application. The wireless communication network receives a download message when the UE downloads the user application that indicates a UE Identifier (ID) for the UE and an application ID for the user application. The wireless communication network selects a slice ID for the optimal network slice based on the application ID for the user application. The wireless communication network transfers a slice message to the UE that indicates the application ID and the slice ID. The wireless communication network exchanges application data for the user application with the UE. The wireless communication network processes the application data with the optimal wireless network slice.

Abstract: A wireless communication network comprises a wireless UE, a source access node, a target access node, and a network controller. The UE identifies an active media session, a UE fallback capability, and a network fallback availability. The UE measures a signal metric for the target access node and indicates the signal metric and UE fallback capability to the source access node. The source access node receives the indication the signal metric and the UE fallback capability. The source access node receives an access modification message for the UE from the wireless network controller. In response, the source access node initiates the hand over and transfers a handover message to the network controller. The network controller receives the handover message, transfers a handover request to the target access node, receives an acceptance from the target access node, and transfers a handover command for the wireless UE to the source access node.

Abstract: A data communication network serves User Equipment (UE) over an optimal wireless network slice for a user application. A Network Exposure Function (NEF) receives a notice message indicating a UE Identifier (ID) for the UE and an application ID for the user application when the UE downloads the user application.

The network control-plane transfers a slice message indicating the application ID and the slice ID to the UE. In response to the slice message, the UE uses the optimal network slice when executing the user application.

Abstract: A method of migrating a data store of wireless communication subscriber data from a source data store system to a target data store system. The method comprises receiving a provisioning request by a computer system, looking up and revising a data entry in the source data store system based on the provisioning request, copying and creating a reference to the revised data entry in the target data store system, and changing the reference in the source data store system to reference empty memory by the computer system. A second portion of data migration comprising creating a list of data entries, softlocking each data entry, reading and copying each data entry to the target data store system, creating a reference to the data entry, changing the reference in the source data store system to reference empty memory, and releasing the softlock by the computer system.
