    Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a policy control function (PCF), a first message including presence reporting area (PRA) information and status information identifying a type of network coverage associated with the PRA information. The method may also include determining, by the PCF, a policy for a user equipment (UE) device data session based on the received first message, and forwarding, by the PCF and prior to establishing the UE device data session, a second message identifying the determined policy to at least one of a session management function (SMF) or an access and mobility management function (AMF). The method may further include applying the determined policy to the UE device data session.

    Abstract: A real-time network consumption tracking service is provided. A charging function (CHF) device receives transaction records of network consumption by user equipment (UE) devices in a wireless network and generates individual event messages based on each of the transaction records. Each of the individual event messages includes a detailed record based on one of the transaction records. The CHF device associates each of the individual event messages with a message bus topic, formats each of the individual event messages for publication on the message bus, and publishes each of the formatted individual event messages to the message bus. The message bus is accessible to external systems that generate dynamic network consumption data sets based on the formatted individual event messages.

    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include receiving, at a network device, a message including an identifier associated with a subscriber and an identifier associated with a rating group associated with one or more data flows and determining a data quota and one or more usage monitoring thresholds associated with the subscriber. The data quota indicates a first amount of data associated with the rating group that the subscriber is authorized to use during a time period and the one or more usage monitoring thresholds indicate one or more second amounts of data associated with the rating group and one or more service flows that the subscriber is authorized to use during the time period. The network device transmits the data quota and the one or more usage monitoring thresholds, receives data usage information, and processes the data usage information.

    Abstract: A network device for a mobile carrier network sends, to a third-party content platform, a client message including a first dedicated subscription parameter extension. The first dedicated subscription parameter extension indicates one or more subscription parameters for a data flow between a user equipment (UE) device that originated the client message and the third-party content platform. The network device receives, from the third-party content platform, a server message including a second dedicated subscription parameter extension. The second dedicated subscription parameter extension confirms the third-party content platform will abide by the one or more subscription parameters. The network device generates, based on the one or more subscription parameters, a policy enforcement rule for the data flow that relies, at least in part, on cooperation of the third-party content platform.

    Abstract: A third-party application, executing at a mobile device, may be provided with information describing congestion levels in a network, such as a cellular wireless network through which the mobile device connects. In one implementation, the third-party application may select, based on the information describing the congestion levels, a data flow, from a number of data flows, to use when communicating with a destination device, each of the data flows being associated with different quality of service (QoS) parameters and being associated with different charging rates. The mobile device may communicate, through a proxy server, and using the selected data flow, with the destination device. The communication with the destination device may be implemented using sponsored data that is not charged to an account associated with an owner of the mobile device.

    Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a charging function (CHF), a data usage monitoring request associated with use of an application, wherein the data usage monitoring request identifies a data usage threshold. The method may also include transmitting, by the CHF and to a session management function (SMF) or a user plane function (UPF), a message notifying the SMF or UPF of the data usage threshold. The method may further include receiving, from the SMF or UPF, a notification that the data usage threshold has been reached, and sending, by the CHF, a message to a network exposure function (NEF) indicating that the data usage threshold has been reached.
