Abstract:
An edge device may obtain, via a base station, one or more respective requests from one or more user devices to access content. The edge device may determine a total number of the one or more user devices and may determine that the total number of the one or more user devices satisfies a threshold. The edge device may determine, based on the total number of the one or more user devices satisfying the threshold, a latency requirement associated with the content and may determine whether the edge device can satisfy the latency requirement. The edge device may selectively cause, based on determining whether the edge device can satisfy the latency requirement, the edge device or a different edge device to send the content to the one or more user devices via the base station.
Abstract:
A mobility management entity device (MME) may receive a request from a user device to attach to a network. The request to attach to the network may include a user device identifier for the user device. The MME may receive, from a home subscriber server (HSS) and based on the user device identifier for the user device, information relating to the user device. The information may include at least one connection parameter. The at least one connection parameter may include at least information indicating whether a bearer should be allocated to the user device. The MME may establish a network connection for the user device based on the at least one connection parameter. The MME may cause traffic to be routed from the user device based on the at least one connection parameter.
Abstract:
A base station may receive an indication to manage a connection, associated with a device, or traffic associated with the device. The indication may include a network identifier associated with a core network. The base station may determine, based on the network identifier, management information associated with managing the connection or the traffic associated with the device. The base station may manage, based on the management information, the connection or the traffic associated with the device.
Abstract:
A device may receive streaming information associated with one or more user devices, streaming content being provided to the one or more user devices, and a cell associated with the one or more user devices. The device may determine a quantity of user devices receiving the streaming content in the cell based on the streaming information. The device may determine whether the streaming content is being provided using a unicast stream or is being provided using a multicast stream. The device may determine to switch from the unicast stream to the multicast stream or from the multicast stream to the unicast stream based on the quantity of user devices. The device may switch from the unicast stream to the multicast stream, or the multicast stream to the unicast stream based on determining to switch.
Abstract:
A system may receive, from a base station, information indicating that a network congestion level associated with the base station satisfies a threshold, the network congestion level being a measurement of traffic associated with a network, and the network including the base station. The system may determine, based on the network congestion level satisfying the threshold, traffic flow information for a plurality of traffic flows associated with the base station. The system may identify a congestion-causing traffic flow, of the plurality of traffic flows, based on the traffic flow information. The system may provide information identifying the congestion-causing traffic flow.
