Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) over multiple User Plane Function Groups (UPFGs). In the wireless communication network, a Session Management Function (SMF) receives UPFG performance metrics from the wireless communication network. The SMF identifies a Packet Data Flow Group (PDFG) for the UE. The SMF responsively selects one of the UPFGs for the PDFG based on the UPFG performance metrics. The selected UPFG comprises at least three User Plane Functions (UPFs) and the PDFG comprises at least two Packet Data Flows (PDFs). The SMF transfers network signaling to the selected UPFG to deliver the PDFG to the UE. The selected UPFG receives the network signaling and responsively exchanges user data for the UE to deliver the PDFG.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a provisioning system transfers a Session Management Function (SMF) Application Programming Interface (API) call for a User Plane Function (UPF) metric to an SMF. The SMF transfers a UPF API call for the UPF metric to the UPF over signaling. The UPF transfers a UPF API response indicating the UPF metric to the SMF over signaling. The SMF transfers an SMF API response indicating the UPF metric to the provisioning system. The provisioning system may obtain UE metrics through the SMF or an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in a like manner. The provisioning system may obtain Radio Access Network (RAN) metrics through the SMF or AMF in a like manner.

Abstract: A wireless communication network enforces a user policy for a User Equipment (UE) and directs another wireless communication network to enforce another user policy for another UE. In the wireless communication network, an Application Function (AF) receives the user policy from another AF in the other wireless communication network and transfers the user policy to the PCF. The PCF distributes the user policy to a Network Function (NF). The NF enforces the user policy. The PCF identifies the other user policy for the other UE and transfers the other user policy to the AF. The AF responsively transfers the other user policy to the other AF. The other AF transfers the other user policy to another PCF in the other wireless communication network. The other PCF distributes the other user policy to another NF in the other wireless communication network which enforces the other user policy.

Computer circuitry hosts network functions, distributed ledgers, ledger clients, and AI engines. The network functions serve User Equipment (UEs) over Radio Access Networks (RANs), and in response, transfer the network data to the distributed ledgers. The distributed ledgers receive and store the network data. The ledger clients select some of the network data from the distributed ledgers and transfer the selected network data to the AI engines. The AI engines receive the selected network data, and in response, generate the AI responses. The ledger clients and the AI engines may comprise wireless network slices.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session type over a Radio Access Network (RAN). The wireless communication network comprises a Network Repository Function (NRF), Management and Orchestration (MANO) system, a User Plane Function (UPF), a RAN, and User Equipment (UEs). The NRF receives UPF requests for User Plane Functions (UPFs) that can serve the PDU session type over the RAN and responsively transfers UPF responses indicating other UPFs that cannot serve the PDU session type over the RAN. The NRF determines when the transfer of the UPF responses is excessive. In response, the NRF transfers an instantiation request to a Management and Orchestration (MANO) system to instantiate a new UPF that can serve the PDU session type over the RAN. The MANO system instantiates the new UPF. The new UPF serves the PDU session type to the UEs over the RAN.

Abstract: In a wireless mesh network, a leader relay transfers Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to follower relays that indicate leader Identifier (ID), term ID, index, log-entry, and entry command. The follower relays receive the RPCs and enter the log-entry. The leader relay commits the log-entry to a state machine. The state machine generates a mesh architecture that indicates user-access spectrum, relay-interconnect spectrum, and relay-backhaul spectrum. The leader relay transfers RPCs to the follower relays that indicate leader ID, term ID, index, commit command, and the leader mesh architecture. The follower relays receive the RPCs and commit the log-entry to their state machines which generate mesh architectures. The relays wirelessly exchange user data with user devices over the user access spectrum. The relays wirelessly exchange user data with each other over the relay-interconnect spectrum. The relays wirelessly exchange user data with other networks over the relay backhaul spectrum.

Abstract: A wireless network control system facilitates a handover of User Equipment (UE) from a source network slice to a target network slice. The source slice delivers an internet-access service to the UE using a Quality-of-Service level and access restrictions. The UE detects a handover trigger and exchanges handover signaling with the source network slice. A hardware-trust controller verifies a hardware identification code embedded in the UE responsive to the handover signaling. A distributed ledger generates a slice template to implement the QoS and access restrictions for the UE in the target network slice in response to the handover signaling and the hardware-trust verification. The signaling circuitry transfers the slice template to the target slice. The target slice delivers internet-access service to the UE using the QoS and the restrictions in response to the slice template.

Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI) executes Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) to transfer the VNF boot data to a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger performs a distributed ledger transaction with the VNF boot data to commit the VNF boot data to distributed ledger memory in a blockchain format. The NFVI executes the network VNF to deliver a network communication service. The NFVI loses VNF boot functionality and transfers a VNF boot request to the distributed ledger. The distributed ledger performs a distributed ledger transaction with the VNF boot request and the VNF boot data to transfer VNF recovery data to the NFVI and to commit the VNF boot request and the VNF recovery data to the distributed ledger memory in the blockchain format. The NFVI processes the VNF recovery data to recover the VNF boot functionality. The NFVI executes the recovered VNF to deliver the network communication service.

The IP router converts the location information into PSAP signaling used by the selected PSAP based on the PSAP and network type. The IP router transfers the converted location information for delivery to the selected PSAP.
