Abstract: A system may receive, by a first network device in an access network, a request to setup a radio access bearer (RAB) for use in establishing a connection with a user equipment (UE), wherein the request includes at least one Quality-of-Service (QOS) attribute associated with the request. The first network device may determine that the at least one QoS attribute is not supported by the access network and may send a notification that RAB setup has failed to a second network device in a core network, wherein the notification includes a cause indicator that indicates that the failure is caused by an unsupported QoS. In response, the core network may modify the request to include a default quality of service attribute that is supported by the access network and may send the modified request to the first network device.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice selection service is provided. The service may include using route selection policies that includes radio frequency criteria for selection of a network slice. The service may include establishing an application session based on the route selection policies. The service may further include determining that a radio frequency of the network slice cannot be sustained. The service may include executing an application session release procedure and an application session establishment procedure. The procedures may include using cause data and context data pertaining to the initial application session to re-establish the application session via a different network slice and a different radio frequency based on the route selection policies.

Abstract: A network device may receive historical data identifying historical error data and error data categorizations associated with a first core network and may store the historical data in a data structure. The network device may receive a request associated with a user equipment and may receive error data from the first core network based on the request. The network device may receive network health data identifying load levels and health of the first core network and a second core network. The network device may determine possible cause data identifying causes associated with the error data based on the historical data, the error data, and the network health data. The network device may generate a cause code for the user equipment based on the possible cause data and may provide the cause code to the user equipment.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an inter-RAT PDN connection management service is provided. The service may include provisioning a packet data network (PDN) session based on network slice (NS) and access point name (APN) information received from an end device via a non-slice radio access device. The service may further include provisioning, during the PDU session, a network slice based on the NS and APN information in which core devices of the network slice are selected and the same as the core devices that supported the PSN session.

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 network device may maintain a list of existing slice identifiers, associated with slices of a core network, that are in use in active UE sessions, and may receive a slice identifier associated with a slice of the core network and provided in a request to establish a session between a UE and the slice of the core network. The network device may determine whether the slice identifier matches an existing slice identifier included in the list, and may create a new network address, with an address of the network device and the slice identifier, based on the slice identifier failing to match an existing slice identifier included in the list. The network device may utilize the new network address to establish the session between the UE and the slice of the core network.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein allow mobile network operators to provide an adaptive quality of service (QoS) approach for application providers. A network device in a core network receives a QoS monitoring report based on QoS monitoring by an access station. The QoS monitoring report includes data for QoS parameters for network services in a default QoS flow supporting a protocol data unit (PDU) session. Based on the QoS monitoring report, the network device determines if the default QoS flow supports a required service level for the PDU session. When the network device determines that the default QoS flow does not support the required service level for the PDU session, the network device automatically activates a dedicated QoS flow to support the PDU session with the required service level.

Abstract: A network device may select a first user plane function for establishing, with a user equipment, a protocol data unit session with a single flow and may receive an application function trigger associated with a first new flow for a first application of the user equipment. The network device may select a second user plane function for the first new flow and may create a first traffic filter for the first new flow. The network device may cause the first traffic filter to be provided to the user equipment so that first application traffic is routed, based on the first traffic filter, to the second user plane function and a first multi-access edge computing device associated with the second user plane function.

Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to a hybrid network slicing service. The hybrid network slicing service may enable the initial configuration of a network slice according to network slice requests that may include customized and user-specified network performance criteria. The hybrid network slicing service may enable network slice requests to specify selection of network resources and use/availability based on entity-based criteria including end device and/or application specific associations. The hybrid network slicing service may optimize network slice configurations and generate network slice templates.
