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 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: 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: 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 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.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable distribution of a Charging Function group identifier (“CHF-Group-ID”) and other CHF selection data to CHF consumers during Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment in a 5G network. A Unified Data Repository (UDR) is provisioned with CHF-Group-ID details for each subscriber of the network. In one aspect, during PDU session establishment, CHF consumers obtain CHF-Group-ID information as part of a subscriber profile that is provided to all CHF consumers. No additional step or hop is needed for the CHF consumers to obtain the CHF-Group-ID. Thus, regionally segmented CHFs can be implemented without replication of data between CHFs in different regional segments and without additional signaling between network functions.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an discovery service is provided. The discovery service may provide a network device to request for binding information from a binding service function. The request may or may not include information that indicates a type of policy control function. For example, the information may indicate a session management policy control function, an access management policy control function, or another dedicated type of policy control function.

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobility management entity (MME) device may receive an attach request, associated with a user equipment (UE), that includes a UE state indication.

The MME device may receive, from the AMF device, a URSP information response indicating URSP information associated with the UE based on the URSP information request. The MME may send, for the UE, the URSP information based on the UE state indication included in the attach request.
