Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide dynamic network slicing. A network device receives, from an application server, application performance requirements for an application and receives capability and performance information of an existing network slice that is servicing a User Equipment (UE) device using the application. The network device determines, based on the capability and performance information, that a new network slice is needed to support the application performance requirements for the UE device; and sends a signal to initiate a slice creation process for the new network slice.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an inter-operator mobility service is provided. The service may provide provisioning decisions and configurations that may include core devices that are shared between users of a first entity and users of a second entity or are dedicated to the users of an entity to support a network slice and/or access to an application service for end devices. The service may manage access and use of radio frequencies associated with the first and second entities based on subscription information and location of the end devices associated with first and second entities. The service may further include enabling inter-network handovers associated with end devices.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device of a network may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request associated with enabling the UE to access a network, wherein the request includes a first routing indicator. The device may identify an authentication manager, of the network, that is mapped to the first routing indicator in an entry of a routing table of the network. The device may route the request to the authentication manager of the network to permit the authentication manager to authenticate the UE. The device may purge, based on the request being routed to the authentication manager, the entry to remove the first routing indicator from the routing table. The device may store, after purging the entry, a second routing indicator in the entry to map the second routing indicator to the authentication manager, wherein the second routing indicator is different from the first routing indicator.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to enable mobile network operators to dynamically determine when a Low-Latency, Low-Loss Scalable-Throughput (L4S) service shall be enabled for a data flow. A network device in a core network receives a request for a Quality of Service (QoS) flow associated with a user equipment (UE) device; determines whether to enable a LS4 service for the QoS flow; and notifies, based on the determining, a Session Management Function (SMF) to create the QoS flow with L4S service enabled.

Abstract: In some implementations, an access and mobility management function (AMF) may receive subscribed network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) that indicates location information associated with a slice and time information associated with the slice. The AMF may determine an allowed NSSAI based on one or more of the location information, the time information, a static policy, or a dynamic policy. A access and mobility policy control function (AM-PCF) may create the dynamic policy to determine a location and a time at which the subscribed NSSAI may be used. The AMF may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of the allowed NSSAI.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device may generate a user equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) rule that indicates a route selection descriptor and a traffic descriptor, and one of the route selection descriptor or the traffic descriptor indicates a core network (CN) type associated with the URSP rule. The device may transmit the URSP rule.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application-aware scheduling service is provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a selective network slice admission control (NSAC) service on a per user equipment (UE) device level, and include manage select NSAC criteria related to a first limit to a number of user equipment (UE) devices and a second limit to a number of protocol data unit (PDU) sessions supportable on a network slice; receive an indication that a first UE device requests a first PDU session on the network slice; apply at least one of the select NSAC criteria to the first UE device and/or the first PDU session; determine, based on the application, that the first UE device is countable toward the first limit and/or the first PDU session is countable toward the second limit; and generate an NSAC update response message indicating that the first UE device and/or the first PDU session is countable.

Abstract: In some implementations, a radio access network (RAN) may receive a graded quality of service (QoS) profile indicating a set of QoS profiles and corresponding observed flow data rates. The RAN may measure an observed flow data rate of traffic associated with a session. The RAN may select a QoS profile from the set of QoS profiles based on the observed flow data rate. The RAN may apply the QoS profile to the session.

Abstract: A system described herein may dynamically determine whether a User Equipment (“UE”) is authorized to access a given Local Area Data Network (“LADN”) based on dynamically determined factors, such as temporal factors, network load factors, registration or de-registration of the UE for the LADN, etc. Updates to such polices may be further used to determine whether the UE is authorized to access the LADN. Thus, the providing of services associated with a LADN may be more dynamic and based on additional factors than a determination of whether UE subscription information (e.g., as provided by a UE information repository) indicates that a given UE has subscribed to the LADN.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an registration support service. The registration support service may include providing an end device with registration support information that may facilitate a re-registration of the end device with an access and mobility management function, a mobility management entity, or the like. The registration support information may include a time period and/or a location with which the end device may initiate a registration procedure. The registration support information may be generated based on historical behavior of the end device.

Abstract: A network device may receive a PDU session create message associated with establishing a PDU session with a user device and via a RAN, and may receive a first 5QI value and a second 5QI value associated with the PDU session. The network device may attempt to establish the PDU session with the first 5QI value and via the RAN, and may receive an indication that the first 5QI value is not supported for establishing the PDU session. The network device may cause the PDU session to be established with the second 5QI value, and via the RAN, based on the indication that the first 5QI value is not supported for establishing the PDU session.
