Abstract: A method may include providing data services to a user equipment (UE) device via a first network slice and determining a data throughput threshold associated with the first network slice. The method may also include determining if the UE device has exceeded the data throughput threshold over a first period of time. The method may further include providing data services to the UE device via a second network slice, in response to determining that the UE device has exceeded the data throughput threshold over the first period of time.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an EASDF secure service. The EASDF secure service may include a network-side service that may validate access and authorization to use a domain name system (DNS) resolver device, such as an edge application server discovery function. The network-side service may validate access and authorization of an end device based on tokens. The EASDF secure service may include an end device-side service that includes a token with a DNS query to the DNS resolver device. The end device-side service may further provide authorization regarding access and use of applications, networks, and application devices that host applications and/or assets by the end device at the end device. The end device-side service may determine access and/or authorization based on tokens and a validation procedure performed at the end device.

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: A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an assisted non-terrestrial network selection and access service. The assisted non-terrestrial network selection and access service include providing non-terrestrial network assistance information to end devices. The end devices may use the non-terrestrial network assistance information to perform searching, accessing, and connecting to non-terrestrial networks. The end devices may provide feedback information regarding the validity or invalidity of the non-terrestrial network assistance information after searches and connection procedures are performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a network-based solution to efficiently transition private network subscribers from a macro network to a private network. A network device in the macro network stores a neighbor list identifying a private network that has overlapping coverage with a cell for the macro network. The network device detects that a user equipment (UE) device connected to the network device has a subscription to the private network and, in response to the detecting, sends, a release message to the UE device. The release message includes a redirection to the private network.

Abstract: A network device receives, from a user equipment (UE), a Next Generation Mobile network attach request, wherein the Next Generation Mobile network attach request includes a Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) network attach request. The network device initiates attachment procedures, in response to receipt of the Next Generation Mobile network attach request and the VoLTE network attach request, to attach the UP to the Next Generation Mobile network and to a VoLTE network, and initiates establishment of a connection between the Next Generation Mobile network and the UE.

Abstract: A user device may receive a traffic category and/or slice usage policy, and may provide a request for an application. The user device may receive the application with a traffic category and/or slice usage requirement, and may install the application on the user device. The user device may subscribe to traffic categories and/or slices, and may receive approval to utilize the traffic categories and/or slices. The user device may provide, by the application and to an operating system, a connection request for a particular traffic category and/or slice, and may determine whether the application is approved for the particular traffic category and/or slice. The device may provide, to a modem, the connection request and traffic descriptors for the particular traffic category and/or slice based on the application being approved, and may establish a protocol data unit session, for the application, utilizing the particular traffic category and/or slice.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which beam configuration management service is provided. A network device of a wireless access network provides the service that includes identifying redundant configurations across carriers associated with a cell group, and links the common beam configurations to these carriers. The service also includes identifying any difference in beam configurations relative to the common beam configurations for a carrier. The service may transmit this beam configuration information in a control plane message to an end device. The end device may use the beam configuration information.

Abstract: A device comprises a memory and one or more processors. The memory stores a User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP). The one or more processors are configured to: receive a packet from a user device; determine a traffic descriptor associated with the packet; apply a URSP to the traffic descriptor to identify a network slice, within a network, to which the packet is to be forwarded; and forward the packet to the network slice over a wireless connection from the device to the network.
