A method for identifying a client device in a network, and a first radio in the network that is coupled with the client device is provided. The method includes determining one or more sequences of roaming events for multiple client devices in the network, evaluating a performance metric for a roaming event and evaluating an interaction between the client device and one or more radios involved in the roaming events for the plurality of client devices. The method also includes selecting a second radio in the network based at least in part on (1) the one or more sequences of roaming events, (2) the performance metric, and (3) the interaction between the client device and the one or more radios, and recommending switching the client device from the first radio to the second radio. A system and a predictive tool to perform the above method are also provided.

Aspects of data re-direction are described, which can include software-defined networking (SDN) data re-direction operations. Some aspects include data re-direction operations performed by one or more virtualized network functions. In some aspects, a network router decodes an indication of a handover of a user equipment (UE) from a first end point (EP) to a second EP, based on the indication, the router can update a relocation table including the UE identifier, an identifier of the first EP, and an identifier of the second EP. The router can receive a data packet for the UE, configured for transmission to the first EP, and modify the data packet, based on the relocation table, for rerouting to the second EP. In some aspects, the router can decode handover prediction information, including an indication of a predicted future geographic location of the UE, and update the relocation table based on the handover prediction information.

Systems, method, and devices provide for recovery from backhaul failures for Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) communication systems with multi-hop routing.

There is disclosed a method of staging real-time data in proximity to a mobile device. The method includes determining a geographic location associated with the mobile device and identifying a storage device located in proximity to the determined geographic location. The method also includes enabling real-time data published by the mobile device or provided to the mobile device to be stored on the identified storage device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may determine, for a user equipment (UE) operating in a mobility state, route information. The BS may transmit, to the UE, information identifying a set of beams based at least in part on the route information. The UE may perform a set of neighbor cell measurements, in connection with movement along the predicted route, using the set of beams. Numerous other aspects are provided.

On-demand quality of service guarantees are provided in a wireless network environment. The system determines an on-demand quality of service for a segment of a communication path between a user equipment communicating with a radio access network connected to a core network and an external network connected to the core network. The system then determines if the on-demand quality of service for the segment meets a quality of service requirement. If the on-demand quality of service for the segment does not meet the quality of service requirement, the system identifies an alternate communication path between the user equipment and the external network, wherein the alternate communication path differs from the communication path. The system can then setup the alternate communication path for traffic between the user equipment and the external network.
