Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an inter-RAT PDN connection management service is provided. The service may include provisioning a packet data network (PDN) session based on network slice (NS) and access point name (APN) information received from an end device via a non-slice radio access device. The service may further include provisioning, during the PDU session, a network slice based on the NS and APN information in which core devices of the network slice are selected and the same as the core devices that supported the PSN session.

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 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 system described herein may receive a set of attributes associated with a particular User Equipment (“UE”), such as a location of the UE, Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, or UE power class. The system may identify a set of radio access network (“RAN”) configuration parameters based on the received set of attributes associated with the particular UE, wherein the RAN configuration parameters include radio frequency (“RF”) channel configuration parameters such as an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (“OFDM”) slot format. The system may provide the identified set of RAN configuration parameters to the RAN, and the RAN may utilize the RF channel configuration parameters included in the identified set of RAN configuration parameters to configure one or more channels between the RAN and the particular UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a slice management and prioritization service on a per user equipment (UE) device level. A network device in a core network may receive a notification that a UE device has exhausted a quota of available simultaneous data radio bearers (DRBs) and, afterwards, receive an indication that an application on the UE device has requested a new protocol data unit (PDU) session on a requested network slice that is not currently active for the UE device. The network device may identify relative priorities for the requested network slice and active network slices for the UE device; determine, based on the relative priorities, if the new PDU session can preempt a DRB for an active PDU session; and delete the active PDU session when it is determined the new PDU session can preempt a DRB for an active PDU session.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide an interface for a Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) to extract event data from a Location Management Function (LMF) located in a core network or radio access network (RAN). An NWDAF receives, from a network device, an information request for a location-assistance service. The NWDAF sends to the LMF a data request based on the information request, and receives, from the LMF, event data responsive to the data request. The NWDAF generates an analytics report based on the event data.

Abstract: A first User Equipment (“UE”) may communicate with a second UE via a communication link to determine an operational status of the second UE. The second UE may be connected to a network via one or more communication sessions. The first UE may determine, based on the communication link, that the second UE is non-operational, and may output, based on determining that the second UE is non-operational, a request to communicate with the network via the one or more communication sessions associated with the second UE. The network may modify the one or more communication sessions to be associated with the first UE based on the request, and the first UE may communicate with the network via the one or more modified communication sessions.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for a policy and/or rules element of a core network, such as a Policy Control Function (“PCF”), to identify a first network slice with which a communication session between a User Equipment (“UE”) and a core network, such as a protocol data unit (“PDU”) session, is associated. The policy and/or rules element may identify a second network slice with which the communication session should be associated, such as based on traffic monitoring, network congestion monitoring, or other criteria, and may output an indication, indicating a second network slice, to a session control element, such as an Session Management Function (“SMF”). The session control element may cause the communication session to be moved from the first network slice to the second network slice based on receiving the indication.

Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to: receive a request from a network function for establishing a session for the network function and a User Equipment device (UE); obtain an identifier corresponding to a network slice for providing the session; update the subscriber data with the network slice identifier; and set up the session, for the network function from the UE to the network slice.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a policy control event exposure service is provided. The service may include a policy control event exposure service that supports quality of service (QoS)-based event subscription and access and mobility (AM)-based event subscription. The service may notify network function consumers when a QoS-based event or an AM-based event occurs.
