    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

    Abstract: Sequential migration of network functions between old or legacy vendors and new vendors in a 5G telephone network is enabled without disruption to end-users. Network functions are migrated between control planes of network slices. A first network slice A is associated with a legacy vendor having a first set of network functions, and a second network slice B is associated with a new vendor having a second set of network functions. A gradual staged transfer of network functions originally contained in the control plane of the network slice A is migrated to the control plane of network slice B. The gradual transfer is a migration of network functions in a set of multiple stages to create the subset of the network functions in the control plane of slice B.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for performing intelligent cellular channel management are presented herein. A physical cellular communication channel may be established between a user equipment (UE) and a cellular network for sending a short message service (SMS) message in response to a cellular service request from the UE. One or more characteristics of the UE, the SMS message, or both may be analyzed. A duration of time for which the physical cellular communication channel is kept active may be based on the analyzed one or more characteristics. A channel maintenance instruction may be transmitted to keep the physical cellular communication channel active based on a cellular network messaging controller determining to adjust the duration of time for which the physical cellular communication channel is kept active.
