Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a network node having a split bearer configuration with a user equipment (UE). The network node measures, at a primary node (MN) or a secondary node (SN), a data burst statistic for the network node, the data burst statistic being based on at least one of a burst level throughput or a packet loss measurement for a data burst between the UE and the MN based on a first bearer in the split bearer configuration or between the UE and the SN based on a second bearer in the split bearer configuration. The network node provides the data burst statistic from the network node to at least one of the MN or a core network component.

Abstract: An application client on a user device receives an internal request from within the application client. The internal request is associated with edge application device(s) hosted by a computing platform. In response to the internal request, the application client obtains an authorization token from the computing platform and initiates an edge discovery request to the computing platform using the authorization token. In response to the edge discovery request, the application client receives connection information of a particular edge application device among the edge application device(s) that is identified for the application client by the computing platform. The application client establishes a connection between the application client and the particular edge application device using the connection information of the particular edge application device.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable user-aware and application-aware dynamic slicing for mobile networks. A network device in a provider network receives a dynamic slice request from a client application. The dynamic slice request includes authorization credentials and a quality of service (QoS) indication for the client application. In response to the dynamic slice request, the network device generates a traffic descriptor value. The traffic descriptor value includes an access token that indicates the QoS authorized for the client application. The network device pushes updated UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rules to a modem of the UE device, and also separately directs the traffic descriptor value to the client application. The network device receives, from the UE device, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request that includes network slice selection information based on the traffic descriptor value.
