International Classification:

H04L 67/14
H04W 12/08
H04L 9/40

Abstract:

A network function (NF) entity in a communication network receives User Plane Function (UPF) registration information for a plurality of UPFs, the registration information including a respective network attribute for each UPF. The NF entity associates each UPF with a corresponding network based on the respective network attribute, and map one or more User Equipment (UE) to the corresponding network based on a security policy to create a UE-to-network table. The NF further receives a request to establish a session for a subsequent UE, the request including a subsequent UE identifier, and determine an access permission for the subsequent UE to access the corresponding network based on the subsequent UE identifier and the UE-to-network table. The NF selects one UPF from the plurality of UPF to service the session for the subsequent UE based on the access permission, and an association between the one UPF and the corresponding network.

H04W 88/16

Abstract:

In one example, a first connectivity request for a first network connection between a user equipment and a first network is obtained. A control plane serving gateway node for the first network connection is selected. The control plane serving gateway node is co-located with a control plane packet data network gateway node configured to support a second network connection between the user equipment and a second network that is different from the first network. A second connectivity request for the second network connection is obtained. The second network connection is established with the control plane serving gateway node and the control plane packet data network gateway node.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/24

Abstract:

A first virtual machine executing on a centralized management node provides a first image file to a first computing entity arranged within a first point of delivery. The first image file includes a first boot configuration file or a first ramdisk file. A second virtual machine provides a second image file to a second computing entity arranged within a second point of delivery different from the first point of delivery. The second image file includes a second boot configuration file or a second ramdisk file. The first virtual machine provides a third image file to the first computing entity. The third image file comprises a first operating system installation file. The second virtual machine provides a fourth image file to the second computing entity. The fourth image file comprises a second operating system installation file.

Abstract:

Techniques are provided that leverage inband metadata techniques for use in a mobile core network in order to create relevant third generation 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) control plane interfaces between virtual control plane and virtual user plane elements that can be used to instruct the virtual entities to perform various functions, collect telemetry and other data from the virtual entities and signal maintenance messages between control plane and user plane entities. One control plane interface can be used to perform holistic performance analysis functionalities and identify the better performing path and accordingly use primary path and warm paths for control plane exchanges.

H04W 4/029

Abstract:

A broker network may be configured to serve as an intermediary between one or more radio providers and one or more mobile service providers for reservation of remote radio units (RRUs) for use in a virtualized radio access network (vRAN) environment. The broker network may receive, from a mobile network, a message indicating a request for identification of RRUs of at least one radio provider. The broker network may send, to the mobile network, one or more messages including a plurality of identifiers which identify a plurality of RRUs, and a geographic location and capabilities associated with each RRU. After receiving a selection of an RRU, the broker network may send to the RRU a message which triggers communication with a virtualized Distributed Unit (vDU) for a remote configuration of parameters in the selected RRU, so that it may be used to facilitate communication with UEs in the mobile network.
