A Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) device, associated with a base station, may include a processor configured to receive a request to send data to a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. The MEC device may be further configured to determine that the data is to be delivered to the plurality of UE devices by the base station via multicast; determine signal quality values for the plurality of UE devices; select a subset of the plurality of UE devices based on the determined signal quality values; and send, using the base station, the data to the selected subset of the plurality of UE devices via multicast, and delaying or terminating delivery of the requested data to UE devices, of the plurality of UE devices, that are not in the selected subset.

Systems and methods for multicast services in an edge computing framework

A device may receive geolocation data associated with a user device in a first cell region, and may determine a location of the user device. The device may determine whether the user device is located in an overlapping region or a non-overlapping region between the first cell region and a second cell region, and may calculate a velocity of the user device. The device may estimate a trajectory of the user device, and may calculate a first distance associated with the user device entering the overlapping region. The device may calculate a second distance associated with the user device exiting the overlapping region, and may determine a first time period to travel the first distance. The device may determine a second time period to travel the second distance, and may determine a handover time period based on the first time period and the second time period.

Systems and methods for determining a handover time period based on mobility prediction

A method may include identifying paths from a user equipment (UE) device to an anchor station, determining that a first path corresponds to a direct wireless link to the anchor station and determining, in response to determining that the first path corresponds to a direct wireless link, a signal quality and a congestion associated with the direct wireless link. The method may also include selecting, in response to determining that the signal quality satisfies a signal quality threshold and the congestion satisfies a congestion threshold, the first path for the UE device to use when communicating with the anchor station. The method may further include identifying, in response to determining that the signal quality does not satisfy the signal quality threshold or the congestion does not satisfy the throughput threshold, another path for the UE device to use when communicating with the anchor station.

Path selection for integrated access and backhaul

A device determines a throughput for each network slice of multiple network slices in a mobile network over a number of time windows, and predicts a future throughput for each network slice of the multiple network slices based on the determined throughput. The device determines an available bandwidth of a Radio Access Network (RAN) of the mobile network. The device allocates a respective portion of the available bandwidth of the RAN to each network slice of the multiple network slices based on the predicted future throughput for each network slice.

Radio resource sharing for dynamic network slices

A system described herein may provide a technique for the determination of threshold or maximum bandwidths for links between nodes and/or User Equipment ('UEs') in an Integrated Access Backhaul system. The maximum bandwidth for a given link may be a function of one or more of: (a) an amount of throughput associated with the link over a given time period, (b) an amount of system-wide throughput associated with the same type of link over the given time period, (c) an amount of throughput over the given time period for links of the same type that are associated with at least a threshold measure of channel quality, (d) a total system bandwidth or capacity, and (e) a total amount of throughput associated with the nodes over the given time period.

Systems and methods for bandwidth allocation at wireless integrated access backhaul nodes

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an end-to-end network slice management service is provided. The service may map application services to network slices based on network profiles, and may generate mapping information. The mapping information may indicate network slice portion-to-application service mappings, and end-to-end mappings between a network slice and the application service. The service may calculate metric values pertaining to networks and associated network slices, and calculate prospective metric values for the networks and network slices based on the metric values. The service may estimate resources allocation values associated with resources to support the prospective metric values based on the prospective metric values and the mapping information. The service may calculate a schedule and assignment of the resources, and provide them to the networks.

Method and system for end-to-end network slicing management service

A method, performed by a server device, may include receiving a request to activate an application session, the request being received from a user equipment on behalf of a particular application installed on the user equipment. The method may further include determining one or more application requirements associated with the particular application; determining conditions associated with one or more application servers; selecting a particular one of the one or more application servers based on the determined one or more application requirements and based on the determined conditions; and setting up the application session between the user equipment and between the selected particular one of the one or more application servers.

Wireless network cloud computing resource management

A system may be configured to identify that a user device is connected to a first radio access network ('RAN'), via a first technology; and to identify that the user device is capable of accessing a second RAN, via a second technology. The system may further be configured to instruct the user device to concurrently connect to the second RAN and the first RAN, send or receive a first type of traffic via the first RAN, and send or receive a second type of traffic via the second RAN.

Handing over a user device from one technology to another

A system in wireless core network obtains a group policy to support background data transfer for a group of user equipment (UEs) associated with a common network area identifier. The system maps the network area identifier to one or more of a mobility management entity (MME) device and a packet data network gateway (PGW) device. The system generates a configuration command to enforce the group policy by the one or more of the MME device or the PGW device and configures, based on the configuration command, the one or more of the MME device or the PGW device to enforce the group policy.
