A network selects a transmission mechanism for delivering a Point to Multipoint (PTM) compatible service based on cell identification (cell ID) information identifying the serving cells of user equipment (UE) devices interested in receiving the PTM compatible service. In some situations, the cell ID information is obtained by the network using a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) counting procedure where cell ID information is requested in a MBMS Counting Request Message and provided by each UE device in a MBMS Counting Response Message.

A wireless communication network serves a wireless user device with a wireless communication service from a wireless network slice that includes a Virtual Network Function (VNF). The VNF maintains hardware-trust with a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger maintains hardware-trust with the VNF. The VNF delivers the wireless communication service to the wireless user device from the wireless network slice. The VNF generates slice data that characterizes the service delivery. When the VNF maintains the hardware-trust with the distributed ledger, the VNF transfers the slice data to the distributed ledger. When the distributed ledger maintains the hardware-trust with the VNF, the distributed ledger stores the slice data.

Systems and methods provide user equipment (UE) access parameters for access control when, for example, the UE is accessing a non-public network, the UE is accessing a private slice in a public land mobile network (PLMN), the UE is accessing a non-public network for PLMN service, and/or the UE is accessing a private slice in a PLMN for a non-public network service.

A device may receive threshold data identifying threshold ranges, and may receive, from a first access point of multiple access points, first network data identifying first quality measurement indicators associated with a first link. The device may determine whether a first quality of the first link is good, fair, or poor based on comparing the first network data and the threshold data, and may provide, to the first access point and when the first quality is determined to be poor, a request for second network data identifying second quality measurement indicators associated with multiple links between the device and the multiple access points. The device may receive, from the first access point, the second network data, and may select one of the multiple access points based on the second network data. The device may utilize a link associated with the one of the multiple access points to receive video data.

A user equipment (UE) may receive, during release from a radio access network (RAN), resource information associated with attaching to the RAN, wherein the resource information is received based on the device being authenticated. The UE may store the resource information in a data structure associated with the UE, and may receive, when the UE includes a payload of data packets to transmit to the RAN, a signal from the RAN. The UE may determine, based on the signal, whether the RAN is a same RAN that provided the resource information, and may determine whether a strength of the signal from the RAN satisfies a threshold when the RAN is the same RAN that provided the resource information. The UE may attach to the RAN when the strength of the signal satisfies the threshold, and may provide the payload to the RAN via a random access channel of the RAN.

A wireless communication network serves wireless user devices over a radio channel that is allocated into subchannels for wireless network slices. A wireless access node schedules resource blocks from the subchannels to the wireless user devices based on their wireless network slices. The wireless access node detects a subchannel has available resource blocks and other subchannels need the available resource blocks. The wireless access node schedules the available resource blocks to the wireless user devices that need the available resource blocks and that use a higher priority wireless network slice. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless user devices over the scheduled resource blocks and exchanges the user data with the wireless network slices. The wireless network slices exchanging at least some of the user data with external systems.
