International Classification:

H04W 4/18
H04W 40/24
H04W 88/14
H04W 40/22

Abstract:

A network device may receive Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) and network information from network components and from a set of Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes; generate descriptions of, or updates to the descriptions of, routing paths based on the NSSAI and the network information; and send the descriptions or the updates to the IAB nodes. The routing paths may include one or more backhaul links between the IAB nodes, and the descriptions and the updates associate each of the routing paths with one or more Single-NSSAIs (S-NSSAIs).

International Classification:

H04W 72/12
H04W 72/14
H04L 12/861

Abstract:

Systems and methods relate to: receiving a request for session, from a first device over a wireless link, for a service, wherein the request includes a Single-Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) that is associated with the service; determine a priority for the session based on the S-NSSAI; and performing, based on the determined priority, an uplink procedure or a downlink procedure for the session. A network include the network component that receives the request for session.

International Classification:

H04W 28/24
H04W 8/04
H04W 48/00

Abstract:

Systems and methods described herein use group segmentation of applications (referred to herein as “slicing classes”), based on common service requirements, to allow carriers to assign UE traffic to network slices. A UE stores slicing class definitions for use with UE Route Selection Policies (URSP). Each of the slicing class definitions include network quality of service (QoS) characteristics that are applicable to network traffic for multiple software applications. The UE maps the software applications to corresponding slicing class identifiers associated with the slicing class definitions. The UE also stores URSP rules for associating a slicing class identifier with a network slice identifier. A UE operating system sends, to a modem, one of the slicing class identifiers for an application that is requesting attachment to a wireless network. The modem sends a registration request with a selected network slice identifier based on the received slicing class identifier and the URSP rules.

Assignee:

International Classification:

H04W 72/10
H04W 28/02
H04W 48/02
H04W 28/10
H04W 72/08
H04W 64/00

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide a technique for allocation and/or preemption of radio access network (“RAN”) resources in a wireless network based on Quality of Service (“QoS”)-related metrics associated with User Equipment (“UEs”) that are connected to, and/or are requesting connection to, a RAN. QoS-related metrics may include a network slice, a QoS Flow Identifier (“QFI”), other suitable metrics. A Slice-Based Priority (“SBP”) determine one or more priority (e.g., SBP) values for UEs connected to the one or more RANs, and/or for UEs requesting connection to such RANs. In addition to QoS-related metrics priority values may be determined based on RAN-related metrics, such as Allocation and Retention Priority (“ARP”) values associated with a UE. RANs may accordingly be able to allocate resources, accept or deny connection requests, and/or perform preemption based at least partly on slice-related QoS metrics, thus preserving end-to-end QoS parameters.

International Classification:

H04W 48/18
H04W 76/11
H04L 12/24
H04W 40/24
H04W 8/02

Abstract:

A system includes one or more devices. The devices are configured to: receive a message indicating that a network slice has been deployed in a network, wherein the message includes information related to the network slice; send the information to an application that provides services to User Equipment (UE) devices subscribed to the network; and initiate updates to UE route selection policies (URSPs) in the network based on the information, allowing communications from UE devices to reach the network slice.

Abstract:

A device associated with a home network may receive an access point name (APN) request from a device associated with a visitor network, wherein the APN request is associated with a user device. The device associated with the home network may cause, based on the APN request, a virtual home network to be instantiated that includes a virtual gateway, wherein the virtual home network is physically closer to the user device than the home network. The device associated with the home network may generate an APN that identifies the virtual home network and the virtual gateway. The device associated with the home network may cause the APN to be sent to the device associated with the visitor network to cause a gateway associated with the visitor network to connect to the virtual gateway.
