A method for route selection policy (URSP) rule matching enhancement in EPS is proposed. When an application is executed, the upper layer of a UE sends the application information to URSP entity for matching a URSP rule. The UE selects and evaluates a route selection descriptor (RSD) from a list of RSDs of a selected URSP rule to be matched with a PDN connection. If there is a “PDU session pair ID type” and/or “RSN type” route selection descriptor components in an RSD, such RSD components are intended for a redundant PDU session, which is not supported in EPS. Therefore, the UE ignores the specific RSD components and continues to evaluate the RSD with the remaining RSD components.

The invention relates to a method for operating a policy control entity in a cellular network, the method comprising: determining a quality of service parameter for a data packet session in which one trained model from a plurality of trained models is downloaded to a mobile entity, determining at least one capacity parameter of the mobile entity, determining a network transmission parameter of the cellular network, determining said one trained model from the plurality of different trained models based on a dataset which maps different capacity parameters and transmission capabilities to the plurality of trained models, on the determined capacity parameter, and on the network transmission parameter, determining routing information indicating where said one trained model is accessible for a transmission to the mobile entity, transmitting the routing information to a session management entity configured to manage the data packet session in the cellular network.

A system may provide for the design and/or modification of network slices associated with a wireless network. The wireless network may include different slices that are associated different sets of service parameters. Slices may include radio access networks (“RANs”), core networks, or other types of networks, which may include respective sets of network functions (“NFs”), which may perform specific functions with respect to a given RAN and/or core network. Different slices, RANs, core networks, and/or NFs may be associated with particular policies and/or tags which may be specified by one or more users associated with a first access level. One or more users associated with a second access level may configure portions of the wireless network, and the policies and/or tags associated with particular slices, RANs, core networks, or NFs may be automatically implemented by an orchestration system that configures the wireless network based on the provided configuration information.

A communication method includes: sending, by a policy control network element, first query information to a data analytics network element, where the first query information is used to obtain service quality information; and receiving, by the policy control network element, first response information sent by the data analytics network element, where the first response information includes the quality information that is of the service and that is requested using the first query information.

Systems, methods, and software of managing bandwidth allocated to User Equipment (UE). In one embodiment, a bandwidth management system collects cell load information for a plurality of cells within a Radio Access Network (RAN), and processes the cell load information to determine a cell load status for each of the cells. The system performs bandwidth throttling for the UE by determining a location of the UE, identifying the cell load status for one or more cells in a region of the RAN corresponding with the location of the UE, determining whether the region of the RAN is overloaded based on the cell load status, and controlling a downgrade of bandwidth allocated to the UE in the RAN responsive to a determination that the region is overloaded.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a traffic descriptor that includes a character string corresponding to an application of the UE. In some cases, the character string may be encoded to represent a sequence of characters in the character string to index or match applications to different network slices for communications for the UE. For example, the character string may be encoded using American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) encoding. After receiving and decoding the encoded traffic descriptor, the UE may identify a matching network slice for the application corresponding to the character string of the traffic descriptor. Subsequently, the UE may attempt to establish a connection with the matching network slice for communications for the application and may communicate with the matching network slice for the application based on a successful establishment of the connection.

A multi-flow associated transmission method includes obtaining, by a session management network element, first information. The first information includes a group identifier of a service flow group to which each of a plurality of service sub-flows and quality of service (QoS) policy information corresponding to each service sub-flow, or QoS policy information of the service flow group to which each service sub-flow belongs. The method also includes determining, by the session management network element based on the group identifier of the service flow group to which each service sub-flow belongs, that there is an association relationship between the plurality of service sub-flows. The method further includes guaranteeing, by the session management network element, associated transmission of the plurality of service sub-flows based on the QoS policy information corresponding to each service sub-flow or the QoS policy information of the service flow group to which each service sub-flow belongs.

An apparatus and system to enable MNO policy-driven AI decisions and frame structure are described. An AI SAP receives modified context information within a network and determines a response to network events based on MNO policies. The AI SAP includes a context-aware management entity that tracks and updates the context information, a cognition framework entity that processes new data, applies inferences and compares results of the inferences to available knowledge, a situational awareness entity that determines effects of events within the system on objectives based on the MNO policies, and a policy management entity that provides behavioral rules on the system based on the MNO policies. The AI SAP provides QoS modifications based on positional and movement information of a UE by determining timing indicating when the UE is to be within the AP range and adjusting AP activation and synchronization signaling for the UE based on the timing.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, computing a first time gap associated with a completion of a first transfer of first data via a first network connection and a completion of a second transfer of second data via a second network connection that is different from the first network connection, determining, based on the computing of the first time gap, that the first time gap exceeds a threshold, and adjusting, based on the determining, respective shares of third data that are to be transferred via the first network connection and the second network connection. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein dynamically adjust the policies used within a core network. These policies are determine based on the identification of a user device being a reduced capability device and the data requirements for that device. A correlation between the type of reduced capability device and the data requirements is used to derive data-drive insights using a near-real time RAN intelligence controller. The data used to determine these insights and policies are based near-real time sources.
