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 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 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 base station may cause a user equipment (UE) to be connected to a network, wherein an attach request message, that is used to connect the UE to the network, includes one or more eligibility parameters for a connection release service. The base station may determine, based on the one or more eligibility parameters, that the UE is to receive the connection release service. The base station may provide, to the UE, a connection release message that is provided based on determining that the UE is to receive the connection release service. The base station may receive, from the UE, a connection release acknowledgement message that indicates that the connection release message has been received by the UE. 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.
