Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a user device, a registration request that includes a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI), identifying a network element to decode the SUCI and forwarding the SUCI to the identified network element. The method may also include decoding the SUCI to identify a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI), identifying a unified data management (UDM) device associated with the SUPI and transmitting an authentication request to the identified UDM device to obtain authentication information associated with the user device. The method may further include receiving the authentication information and authenticating the user device based on the received authentication information.

Abstract: A computer device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to host a network function container that implements a microservice for a network function in a wireless communications network, wherein the network function container is deployed by a container orchestration platform; host a service proxy container associated with the network function container, wherein the service proxy container is deployed by the container orchestration platform; and configure the hosted service proxy container to apply a wireless network policy to the microservice for the network function. The processor may be further configured to intercept messages associated with the microservice for the network function using the configured service proxy container; and apply the wireless network policy to the intercepted messages using the configured service proxy container.

Abstract: A first component may receive a message from a anchor selection component in a network. The message may include information that identifies a session anchor in the network and indicates a location of the session anchor. The first component may identify a managing component in the network based on the information and signal the managing component. The signaling may cause the managing component to be configured to forward data, from a mobile terminal attached to the network over a wireless link, to the session anchor.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an inter-operator mobility service is provided. The service may provide provisioning decisions and configurations that may include core devices that are shared between users of a first entity and users of a second entity, or are dedicated to the users of the second entity to support a network slice and/or access to an application service for end devices associated with the second entity. The service may manage access and use of radio frequencies associated with the first and second entities based on subscription information and location of the end devices associated with first and second entities. The service may further include enabling inter-network handovers associated with end devices associated with end devices associated with the second entity.

Abstract: A system includes a Network Repository Function in a segment of a Fifth Generation (5G) network. The NRF is configured to receive a registration request from a Unified Data Repository (UDR). The request indicates that the UDR includes both UE-specific data and non-UE specific data. The NRF is further configured to: store registration information provided in the registration request; receive a request from a network function within the segment and send a response to the request based on the registration information.

Abstract: A method for initiating quality of service levels within a user equipment (UE) device may include receiving application mapping rules from a core network, storing the application mapping rules within the UE device, and determining, by the UE device, a slice service profile (SSP) category associated with an application flow. The method may further include determining, by the UE device, whether an application mapping rule associated with the SSP category is stored within the UE device, and obtaining, from the UE device, a quality of service level for the application flow based on the SSP category, in response to determining that the application mapping rule is stored within the UE device.

Abstract: An improved cellular network architecture enables the distribution of Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state to devices in a core network. A mobility manager receives subscription requests from core network devices requesting notification of user equipment (UE) transitions to RRC Inactive states. Upon receiving an RRC transition report for a UE that indicates a transition to an RRC Inactive state, the mobility manager publishes an event including data representing the RRC inactive state and a UE identifier. Subscribing network elements receive this event and can adjust operations accordingly, including temporarily suspending operations until a further RRC state change.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a dual connectivity path selection service is provided. The service may select a network path for dual connectivity. The service may use mapping information that may correlate network parameters and values to dual connectivity configurations. The service may compare parameters included in a configuration request pertaining to end devices with the mapping information for selection of a dual connectivity configuration.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a registration area-based application exposure and network slice selection service is provided. The service may include the generation of multiple sets of allowed network slices based on a type of end device, current tracking area, and registration area information. The service may also include selecting one of the sets of allowed network slices based on a mobility pattern of the end device. The service may also translate allowed network slices, current tracking area and registration area information, and expose the translated information to an application function.
