20220353746 · 2022-11-03 ·

In a report information sending method, a first session management network element receives first report information, which includes first indication information and an identifier of a first alternative QoS profile, from a user plane network element. The first indication information indicates that a QoS requirement of a first QoS flow cannot be guaranteed. The first session management network element sends second report information, which includes second indication information and an identifier of a first alternative service requirement, to an application function network element. The identifier of the first alternative service requirement corresponds to the identifier of the first alternative QoS profile. The second indication information indicates that a QoS requirement of a first service data flow cannot be guaranteed. The first QoS flow is configured to transmit the first service data flow, which is a service data flow of an application corresponding to the application function network element.

Session Management Method, Device, and System
20220346190 · 2022-10-27 ·

A session management method, device, and system, such that a terminal can access a local data network using a local user plane function (UPF) network element even when the terminal is out of a management area of a remote anchor session management function (SMF) network element. The method includes: receiving, by an intermediate session management network element, one or more local data network access identifiers (DNAIs); and determining, by the intermediate session management network element, a target DNAI based on current location information of a terminal and the one or more local DNAIs, where the target DNAI is used to select a local session management network element for the terminal.

PROVIDING RADIO RESOURCE OWNERSHIP INDICATORS FOR USER EQUIPMENT CHARGING RECORDS IN A MOBILE NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

Techniques are described herein for providing radio resource ownership indicators in charging records for a charging function. In one example, a method may include determining, by a session management node of a mobile network, that a user equipment is utilizing a particular radio resource of a mobile network resource for a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session of the user equipment, wherein the mobile network resource is capable of being utilized via a plurality of radio resources and the particular radio resources is associated with an enterprise entity; and reporting charging information for the PDU session of the user equipment to a charging function of the mobile network to facilitate storing a charging record for the user equipment that is to include an identifier of the enterprise entity that is associated with the particular radio resource.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MEDIA INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM
20230085516 · 2023-03-16 ·

A multi-tenant media processing platform system and method. At least a first media analysis service of a plurality of media analysis services is activated for at least a portion of an active communication session of an entity in the platform system. The first activated media analysis service performs a first media analysis on media of the active communication session that is collected by the platform system. The first activated media analysis service performs the first media analysis on the collected media while the communication session is active to generate a first media analysis result. During the active communication session, at least one media analysis result is applied.

EXTENSION OF Npcf_EventExposure WITH USAGE MONITORING EVENT

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for event notification in a core network of a cellular communications system. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first Policy and Control Function (PCF) serving an Access Management (AM) policy association for a User Equipment (UE) wherein the first PCF is comprised in a core network of a cellular communications system comprises subscribing to an event exposure service of a second PCF serving a Session Management (SM) policy association for the UE. The method further comprises, responsive to subscribing to the event exposure service of the second PCF, receiving a report from the second PCF. In this manner, separate deployments of the first and second PCFs are enabled and still the first PCF serving the AM policy association for the UE can implement AM policies for the UE, e.g., based on UE data usage, e.g., of specified service bundles.

Session recovery from dedicated bearer failure

Techniques and systems for recovering a communication session from a dedicated bearer failure are disclosed. For example, a P-CSCF node can determine that a dedicated bearer associated with a communication session has failed, and, in response, send a SIP message to a UE associated with the communication session, the SIP message causing the UE to refrain from sending SIP requests using a SIP INVITE method. The process may further include identifying a first network node associated with an identifier of the UE, the first network node comprising one of a PGW or a SMF, and sending an instruction to the first network node to dissociate the dedicated bearer from the communication session. This causes a new attach procedure to be performed by the UE to recover the session without session failure.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A CHARGEABLE PARTY AT A SESSION MANAGEMENT WITH REQUIRED QUALITY OF SERVICE

Methods and apparatuses for data transmission. A method implemented at a first network function may comprise obtaining information related to network slice selection; and sending a reroute message to an access network node, wherein the reroute message including a container comprising at least one information element of the information related to network slicing selection.

System and method for running a multi-module telephony application
11637933 · 2023-04-25 · ·

A system and method of a telephony application platform can include receiving a communication session request specifying a destination endpoint, connecting the communication session through a first application module according to the destination endpoint, receiving an instruction to transition communication control to a second application module, transitioning communication control of the communication session to the second application module, independently metering resource usage of the communication session of each application module, and accounting the metered usage of the communication session.

Method and apparatus for establishing guaranteed bit rate (GBR) quality of service (QoS) flow in session

A method includes receiving, by a session management function (SMF), first information from an access and mobility management function (AMF), obtaining, by the SMF, protocol data unit (PDU) session management subscription information from a unified data management (UDM) module, and when dynamic policy and charging control (PCC) is not deployed, establishing, by the SMF based on the first information and at least one of the PDU session management subscription information and local PDU session policy information of the SMF, a default GBR QoS flow in the PDU session.

Mobile network handling of simultaneous usage sessions

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for mobile network handling of simultaneous data usage session records. A system can include a network session server that has a processor and a memory storing instructions that configure a processor to perform operations. The operations can include obtaining, from a session probe within a core network device, a raw mobile data set associated with a user equipment. The operations can include determining that the user equipment engages in a simultaneous usage session based on the raw mobile data set. The operations can include identifying targeted domains that are present within the raw mobile data set, and creating a raw session record for each of the targeted domains associated with the simultaneous usage session.
