A network device may receive a request for functionality to switch to wideband audio at a user device receiving over-the-top (OTT) video and OTT audio associated with a video conferencing application provided by an application server. The network device may switch from the OTT audio to the wideband audio, for the video conferencing application, based on receiving the request for the functionality. The network device may provide the wideband audio associated with the video conferencing application to the user device to cause the user device to provide the OTT video and the wideband audio independently.

Systems and methods for enhancing audio for a video conferencing application

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a dynamic C-DRX provisioning service is provided. The service may disable or enable discontinuous reception on a per end device application or network slice basis. The service may invoke an end device capability procedure to modify a discontinuous reception configuration of a network. The service may store information that correlates an application or network slice to a discontinuous reception setting.

Method and system for dynamic connected mode discontinuous reception

A system described herein may maintain information associating one or more tokens to one or more network slices associated with a network. The system may receive a request, from an application executing at a User Equipment ('UE'), for communication session information, where the request includes a particular token. The system may identify a particular network slice associated with the particular token based on the information associating the one or more tokens to the one or more network slices. The system may receive communication session information, associated with the particular network slice, from the network, and may provide the communication session information to the application. The application may use the communication session information to communicate with the network via the particular network slice. The application may use such communication session information without providing an application identifier to the network.

Systems and methods for application-anonymous slice selection in a wireless network

A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a first reconfiguration message from a wireless station of a radio access network to attempt to place the UE device into a first power saving state. The UE device may be further configured to execute the instructions to determine that a battery level is below a first predetermined threshold; transmit, to the wireless station, a second power savings request when it is determined that the battery level is below the predetermined threshold, to place the UE device into a second power saving state; receive a second reconfiguration message from the wireless station based on the second power savings request; and execute adjustments in the second reconfiguration message to place the UE device into the second power saving state.

Systems and methods for user equipment power savings

A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a radio frequency band selection service is provided. The radio frequency band selection service may include a default service band, a default coverage band, and a threshold value that allows an end device to select a radio frequency band to camp on when in an idle mode, select a radio frequency band to obtain service when in a connected mode, and select stand-alone or non-stand-alone services.

System and method for radio frequency band selection for new radio standalone and non-standalone services

A user equipment (UE) may establish a wireless connection with a WiFi network, and may perform a measurement associated with a fifth generation (5G) ultra-wideband radio access network. The UE may determine whether the measurement satisfies a signal strength threshold, and may selectively perform a first action or a second action based on whether the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The first action may include providing an indication of an availability of the 5G ultra-wideband radio access network, for display, when the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The second action may include maintaining the wireless connection when the measurement fails to satisfy the signal strength threshold.

Systems and methods for prioritizing user equipment access to fifth generation (5G) ultra-wideband networks and wireless networks

A system described herein may provide a technique for applying an authorized set of traffic parameters, such as network slicing parameters, Quality of Service ('QoS') parameters, etc. to traffic associated with a particular application, without exposing an identifier of the traffic to one or more network devices of a network that handles the traffic. An authentication system of some embodiments may generate a tokenized version of the application. A User Equipment ('UE') may extract a token from the tokenized application and identify a set of traffic parameters based on then token. The UE may apply the traffic parameters to outbound traffic associated with the application, and the network may determine whether such traffic parameters are authorized for a destination associated with the traffic based on an authorization of the destination for the particular traffic parameters.
