Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, network node, and machine-readable medium including one or more of the following: instructions for processing a received Diameter message according to a plurality of proxylets; and instructions for defining a plug-in framework as a proxylet of the plurality of proxylets, including: instructions for retrieving a plug-in chain identifying a sequence of plug-ins; instructions for determining a current plug-in based on the plug-in chain; and instructions for evaluating plug-in instructions associated with a current plug-in.

A mobile application gateway configured to interconnect mobile communication devices on a cellular network with an enterprise network is provided. The mobile application gateway includes a voice and data signaling gateway configured to provide routing functionalities, service functionalities and admission control. A gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) is configured to establish a secure data session between one or more of the mobile communication devices and the enterprise network by establishing a GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel between a carrier-hosted serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the GGSN.

The disclosed technology includes at least one method performed by a system of a telecommunications network. The system can establish a communications link between the wireless device and a network access node (NAN) of the 5G network. While connected over a non-mmW band, the wireless device autonomously schedules data downloads to occur when the wireless device is on an mmW band. The system then receives a request from the wireless device to perform the data downloads, which can be enabled by a packet gateway (PGW) upon receiving a confirmation by the NAN that the wireless device can connect over the mmW band. Otherwise, the PGW denies the wireless device's request to perform the data downloads, which can be enforced by the NAN.

A wireless device determines a change in a signal quality measurement of a wireless network. In response to the determining, a first message for changing one or more media for a video call in the wireless network is transmitted from the wireless device to a video application function (AF). A policy and charging rules function (PCRF) receives from the video AF, a DIAMETER AA-request (AAR) command for modifying a quality of service (QoS) of the video call. The PCRF transmits to a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF), a second message comprising an updated QoS, wherein the updated QoS comprises QoS data bearer modification information based on the change in the signal quality measurement of the wireless network. The PCEF implements the updated QoS for the video call.

A communication device of handling connection comprises a storage device for storing an instruction and a processing circuit coupled to the storage device. The processing circuit is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage device. The instruction comprises prioritizing selecting a long term evolution (LTE) network over a new radio (NR) network, when the communication device is configured to enable a voice service.

A method performed by a first intermediate node in an ongoing communication session between a first network node and a second network node in a communication network is provided. The method comprises: receiving an indication that handover of a first network node from a first radio access network to a second radio access network has occurred during the ongoing communication session; generating a message comprising a header, wherein the header identifies the second radio access network; and transmitting the message to a second intermediate node in the ongoing communication session.

A wireless communication network executes a smart contract in distributed ledger circuitry and responsively instantiates a wireless network slice for a wireless communication device. The wireless communication network transfers user data for the wireless communication device over the wireless network slice and responsively transfers slice usage data for the wireless communication device to the distributed ledger circuitry. The wireless communication network executes the smart contract in the distributed ledger circuitry and responsively stores the slice usage data for the wireless communication device in the distributed ledger circuitry.

A wireless device receives, from a base station, a system information block (SIB) indicating that restricted local operator services (RLOS) are supported by a public land mobile network. A preamble transmitting based on the SIB indicating the support for the RLOS. A random access response to the preamble is received. First radio resource control (RRC) message(s) are transmitted, based on the random access response comprising: a first information element indicating, to the base station, that an RRC connection of the wireless device is for the RLOS; and a second information element comprising an attach request message indicating, to a mobility management entity (MME) configured with an RLOS access point name, that the attach request of the wireless device is for the RLOS. A second RRC message comprising an attach accept message indicating acceptance of the RLOS by the MME is received from the base station.

Various methods for a 3GPP defined Charging and Collection Function are employed that may use a microservices approach. The microservice approach may decompose the function of the network elements into component level functions that may be deployed as separate functional elements.

Methods, devices, and computer-readable mediums may provide receiving, at a request to establish an access and mobility (AM) policy control association in relation to an establishment of a packet data unit (PDU) session requested by a subscriber associated with a user equipment (UE) device; generating a query to a network device via a network interface, for AM policy control data and for at least one of UE policy control data or session management (SM) policy control data; receiving the AM policy control data and the at least one of the UE policy control data or the SM policy control data from the network device, creating the AM policy control association based on the received AM policy control data; and storing the at least one of the UE policy control data or the SM policy control data.
