An aspect provides a method by user plane function (UPF) in a core network (CN) of a communication network for registering the UPF at a network repository function (NRF) of the CN. The UPF is to selectively route uplink data traffic in one or more data sessions from a user equipment (UE) to one of a plurality of session anchor network functions (NFs). The method by the UPF comprises sending (1701) a registration request to the NRF. The registration request comprises registration information comprising an indication of a type of filter supported by the UPF to selectively route uplink data traffic from a UE to a particular session anchor NF. The type of filter relates to an application identity; and an indication of a value for the indicated type of filter.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to redirect internet clients for media monitoring. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a wireless communication controller to establish a plurality of connections to a WI-FI router, the plurality of connections corresponding to simulated WI-FI clients, and a client interface to identify a connection of a WI-FI client to the apparatus and route network traffic of the WI-FI client to the WI-FI router via the plurality of connections.

A path selection apparatus in a sensor tree includes a node moving unit that selects a first node in the sensor tree, and moves a second node to under a third node in the sensor tree if the total number of packets transmitted and received in the sensor tree is reduced as a result of the second node being moved to under the third node, the first node having a child node under the first node, the second node being located under a subtree of which a vertex is the first node, the third node not belonging to the subtree. If nodes under the subtree of which the vertex is the first node do not include anode that reduces the total number of packets as a result of being moved, the node moving unit moves a node that is included in the nodes under the subtree and does not change the total number of packets, to under the third node.

Devices, systems, and methods are described that employ actionable intelligence in an emergency or other situation requiring immediate situational awareness, based on multiple types of input. Actionable intelligence is an output providing guidance or information that can be acted on to resolve an incident. The device can be configured to request re-allocation of resources based on incident severity, and bonding technology is used to provide improved speed and reliability in networking communications following a triggering event.

A service level-based integrity detection and self healing process can enable a better quality of service for an end user. For example, when an end user requests a service, a system can provide that service based upon a service level agreement and performance of the network. For example, a software defined network (SDN) component can provide intelligent functions and interfaces to create a service instance for the ordered the service. The SDN component can receive instructions from a detection and service healing component that generates instruction data to mitigate service outages based on historical data.

To configure a wireless sensor network, a sink node receives from nodes first reports, a first report from a node indicating quality of service requirement of the node and battery information of the node, and second reports, a second report from a node indicating at least a signal strength of one signal received from another node. The information in the first reports and in the second reports are used for determining paths from the nodes to the sink node, wherein a path of a node is either a direct link from the node to the sink node or the path comprises at least one node acting as a cluster head between the node and the sink node.

The present technology is directed to routing a user equipment (UE) to a network node, for example, a gNB or ng-eNB that supports a slice requirement of the UE. A first network node can receive a Radio Resource Control (RCC) connection request from a UE, and can determine that a slice requirement of the UE is not supported by the first network node. The first network node can further select a second network node that supports the slice requirement of the UE, and route the UE to connect to the second network node.
