Abstract: A system described herein, such as an Session Management Function (“SMF”) of a core network of a wireless network, may receive a request to associate a particular User Equipment (“UE”) with a plurality of Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses. The UE may be associated with a communication session between the UE and the core network. The system may output an information request for IP address authorization information from a UE information repository associated with the wireless network, and may receive a response to the information request from the UE information repository. The system may identify a quantity of IP addresses based on the response to the information request, and may provide the identified quantity of IP addresses to the particular UE in response to the request to associate the particular UE with the plurality of IP addresses.

Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may receive a subscription request to subscribe to receive notifications associated with context data related to a registered session associated with a user equipment (UE). The registered session may be associated with a reauthorization timer that is associated with triggering the network device to provide a request for reauthorization of the registered session. The network device may provide, based on an expiration of the reauthorization timer, the request for reauthorization of the registered session.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an integrated network slice encryption service. The integrated network slice encryption service may manage and provision encryption and/or decryption services associated with a third party and relative to a network slice and end device application associated with a service provider and application provider. The integrated network slice encryption service may provision end devices, core network devices, and application layer devices of an external network.

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 device, method, and system for forwarding, to a pod, a utility container associated with each of at least one network service for enabling a pre-registration of a network function (NF) with an NF registration function (NRF); sending, from the utility container, an authorization code to an NF authorization platform, wherein the authorization code is associated with the at least one network service; suspending a registration procedure for the NF with the NRF until the authorization code is forwarded from the NF authorization platform to the NRF; and resuming, responsive to a service registration request, the registration procedure based on a validation of the authorization code identified in the service registration request.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable distribution of a Charging Function group identifier (“CHF-Group-ID”) and other CHF selection data to CHF consumers during Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment in a 5G network. A Unified Data Repository (UDR) is provisioned with CHF-Group-ID details for each subscriber of the network. In one aspect, during PDU session establishment, CHF consumers obtain CHF-Group-ID information as part of a subscriber profile that is provided to all CHF consumers. No additional step or hop is needed for the CHF consumers to obtain the CHF-Group-ID. Thus, regionally segmented CHFs can be implemented without replication of data between CHFs in different regional segments and without additional signaling between network functions.

Abstract: A method for performing authorization for network function registration. The method includes instantiating a network function (NF) based on at least one micro-service; providing a software module with each of the at least one micro-service; sending, from each software module, an authorization code to a NF authorization platform, where the authorization code is associated with the micro-service; forwarding the at least one authorization code received at the NF authorization platform to an NF registration function (NRF); sending, from the NF, a service registration request to the NRF, where the service registration request includes each authorization code associated with the at least one micro-service; and registering the NF with the NRF, where the NRF validates each authorization code received from the NF.

Abstract: A computer device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to maintain a repository of network function devices in a network; obtain a transport network key performance indicator (KPI) for a particular network function device in the network; and generate an administration weight based on the obtained transport network KPI, wherein the administration weight corresponds to a measure of performance associated with the particular network function device. The processor may be further configured to receive, from a requesting network function device, a network function discovery request for a network function type associated with the particular network function device; and provide a network function discovery answer to the requesting network function device, wherein the network function discovery answer includes the generated administration weight for the particular network function device.

Abstract: A device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive, from the User Equipment device (UE), over a network, a registration request that includes a list of network slices requested by the UE; request a network component to provide a list of network slices to which the UE is subscribed; obtain a list of replacement network slices for replacing one or more of the list of network slices when one or more of the list of network slices become unavailable for a session with the UE; obtain a second list of network slices, which are allowed by the network to establish a session with the UE, based on the list of network slices and the list of replacement network slices; and send the second list of network slices to the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable network slice selection from different service providers using embedded Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs). A user equipment (UE) device stores a first eSIM associated with a first service provider of a first mobile network and a second eSIM associated with a second service provider of a second mobile network. The UE device also stores policy rules governing selection of the first eSIM and the second eSIM, wherein the policy rules limit use of second eSIM to a network slice on the second mobile network. The UE device initiates a session connection request associated with an application and directs the session connection request through one of the first eSIM or the second eSIM based on the policy rules.
