    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: 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.
