A method of managing traffic associated with a User Equipment, UE, by a User Plane Function, UPF, in a telecommunication network, said UPF being associated with a Session Management Function, SMF, and a Network Data Analytics Function, NWDAF, wherein said UPF has access to an observation space comprising a list of possible states said network may take and wherein said UPF has access to an action space comprising a list of possible actions that said UPF is allowed to perform, said method comprising the steps of receiving a state of said network, wherein said state is comprised by said list of possible states, receiving a reward, wherein said reward indicates a degree of satisfaction of said network to be in said state, receiving network traffic from said UE and performing, triggered by said received traffic, an action comprised by said list of possible actions based on said received state of said network and based on said received reward.

Systems and methods include obtaining monitored traffic from an S1 interface; detecting a Secondary Radio Access Technology (RAT) Data Usage Report (DUR) in the monitored traffic; determining whether the Secondary RAT DUR relates to a 5G Non-Standard Architecture (NSA), and, if so, determining an address of a gNodeB in the Secondary RAT DUR; and storing the address of the gNodeB in a database. The systems and methods can include, for a call, updating a Call Detail Record (CDR) to reflect one of 5G NSA and 4G based on whether an address in the CDR is in the database.

An improved handheld electronic device and an associated method provide an improved call log that presents information relating to logged phone calls in a collapsed manner, meaning that for each phone number having a call stored in the memory of the device, only the most recent in time call is listed on the call log. An improved handheld electronic device and an associated method also provide a call history for any phone call from the improved call log that is selected by the user. The call history includes a listing of all of the calls stored by the device that are associated with the selected call log call.

A method includes: receiving, by a network data analytics function entity, a first message that is sent by an application function entity and that includes a measurement event and an identity ID of an application; obtaining a first measurement parameter based on the measurement event; receiving, by the network data analytics function entity, a notification message that is sent by a terminal and that is used to indicate the network data analytics function entity to perform data collection on the application; sending a second message including the ID of the application and the first measurement parameter to a policy control function entity, and requesting the policy control function entity to send the second measurement parameter to the terminal.

A system is provided enabling creation of a portal to telecommunications services managed by an enterprise user on behalf of accountholders of the enterprise. The system includes a first layer providing access to at least a business support system, an operational support system, a provisioning system, a home location register, and a billing system. The system also includes a second layer providing access to a wizard interface programmed for: creating a portal by the enterprise user with an application enabled to selectively access and/or modify data and settings accessible through a security layer from the first layer; and publishing the portal. The system also includes a third layer providing access to the portal by an accountholder of the enterprise after publishing. The application is: a glanceable application showing the data or settings in a summary visual fashion; or a full application showing the data or settings in a detailed fashion.

This patent application provides a multi-connectivity data reporting method, including: obtaining, by a first network device, a first data volume report, where the first data volume report is used to indicate a volume of data that are of a terminal device and that pass through a second network device; and sending, by the first network device, the first data volume report to a third network device. The first data volume report includes one or more of QoS flow identifiers (QFIs) of one or more quality of service QoS flows, identifiers of one or more protocol data unit (PDU) sessions to which the one or more QoS flows belong, or data volumes of the one or more QoS flows.

A method performed by a network system communicatively coupled to a wireless device by a wireless access network, the network system including a network element corresponding to a network element destination, the method comprising providing at least a portion of a device policy to the wireless device, wherein the device policy is configured to assist in detecting wireless device traffic associated with a service activity, identifying the service activity as being included in a service usage activity classification, and directing or routing the wireless device traffic associated with the service activity over the wireless access network based on information identifying the network element destination; providing a network element policy to the network element corresponding to the network element destination; detecting, at the network element, traffic associated with the wireless device; and applying the network element policy at the network element to the traffic associated with the wireless device.
