A User Equipment ('UE') described herein may connect or request connection to a base station of a wireless network. The base station may implement multiple frequency bands, and connecting or requesting connection to the base station may include connecting or requesting connection via a particular frequency band of the multiple frequency bands. The UE may provide an indication of the particular frequency band to a core of the wireless network. The core may select a set of parameters for communications between the UE and the wireless network based on the indication of the particular frequency band. Additionally, or alternatively, the core may provide an indication of the particular frequency band to a device that provides a service to the UE via the wireless network, and the device may select parameters for the service based on the indication of the particular frequency band.

Systems and methods for real-time frequency band monitoring in a wireless network

A network device may determine that a user equipment is entering a first frequency band coverage area provided by the network device and may determine that the user equipment is a power sensitive device or a narrow band device. The network device may receive multiple carrier information associated with the network device based on determining that the user equipment is a power sensitive device or a narrow band device. The network device may process the multiple carrier information, with a machine learning model, to determine a quantity of repetitions to extend uplink coverage for the user equipment and may enable the quantity of repetitions to extend the uplink coverage for the user equipment.

Systems and methods for providing a robust single carrier radio access network link

A radio access network (RAN) may comprise at least one transmission-reception point (TRP) configured to provide wireless connections to one or more User Equipment devices (UEs) in an area. The area is not predefined by a cell boundary. The RAN may be configured to: broadcast Scheduling and Synchronization Relation (SSR) information to a UE; and establish with the UE a transmission mode for the TRP.

Cell-less wireless network

A system, a network, an end-to-end network, a method, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described of an intelligent end-to-end architecture for tiers of application services. The system may include a radio access network (RAN) that provides radio access to a core network and mobile edge application service layer networks located at different mobile edges including a far edge, a mid edge, and an edge, in which the RAN includes a first centralized RAN control plane device at the far edge that provides a RAN control plane service for first traffic relating to the far edge and the mid edge but not the edge; and the core network includes a first centralized core network control plane device at the far edge that provides a core network control plane service for the first traffic relating to the far edge and the mid edge but not the edge.

Method and system for intelligent end-to-end tiered architecture for application services

A base station may allocate wireless communication resources to configure a synthetic wireless communication signal for use as a radar signal. The synthetic wireless communication signal may be configured according to a wireless communication protocol of a wireless communication network that is associated with the base station. The base station may transmit, from an antenna and toward an area associated with the base station, the synthetic wireless communication signal. The base station may detect a reflected signal that is associated with the synthetic wireless communication signal. The base station may process the reflected signal to generate radar data; and perform an action associated with the radar data and the area.

Systems and methods for enabling and utilizing radar capability on a wireless communication

In some implementations, a system may obtain dynamic radio frequency (RF) response information associated with a user equipment and additional dynamic information associated with the user equipment. The system may determine, based on the dynamic RF response information and the additional dynamic information, a current behavior profile of the user equipment. The system may compare the current behavior profile and a baseline behavior profile of the user equipment to generate comparison information. The system may grant or deny, based on the comparison information, the user equipment access to a resource of a private network.

Systems and methods for authentication based on dynamic radio frequency response information

A method may include transmitting multiple antenna beams to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and determining a location of the UAV. The method may also include identifying a network slice to service the UAV, assigning the identified network slice to the UAV and performing antenna beam management for the UAV while the UAV is in flight.

Unmanned aerial vehicle detection, slice assignment and beam management

In some implementations, a radio access network (RAN) may obtain data rate information from a server device. The server device may be associated with an application and the data rate information may be associated with the application. The RAN may determine, based on the data rate information, one or more data rate parameters associated with the application. The one or more data rate parameters may include at least one of one or more radio frequency parameters, one or more network loading parameters, one or more mobility parameters, or an available data rate parameter. The RAN may transmit, to the server device, the one or more data rate parameters.

Systems and methods for data rate adaptation based on radio access network recommendations

A base station may include a processor configured to configure a default time period for periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station. The processor may be further configured to obtain a signal quality value for a UE device serviced by the base station; determine that the obtained signal quality value is less than a low signal quality threshold; and configure a longer time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the obtained signal quality value is less than the low signal quality threshold.

Systems and methods for dynamic periodic service requests for discontinuous reception

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.

Systems and methods for radio access network-level allocation and retention priority based on network slicing

A method may include identifying a network slice to service an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and assigning the identified network slice to the UAV. The method may also include receiving, from a user equipment (UE) device, a message intended for the UAV, transmitting the message to the UAV and receiving, from the UE device, information identifying an error rate associated with the message. The method may further include determining whether the error rate is greater than a threshold error rate and in response to determining that the error rate is greater than the threshold error rate, at least one of modifying a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) associated with transmitting the message to the UAV, or retransmitting the message to the UAV at least one time.

Systems and methods for providing messaging for unmanned aerial vehicles

A device receives a message associated with creating a session for a User Equipment device (UE), the messaging identifying a Quality of Service (QoS) for the UE. The device adjusts discontinuous reception (DRx) parameters for the UE based on the identified QoS for the UE and instructs the UE to increase or decrease a DRx wait time based on the adjusted DRx parameters.

Differentiated discontinuous reception based on user equipment service profile

A device may receive information from a unified database, wherein the information includes a Service Profile Identifier (SPID); select a Quality-of-Service (QoS)-related identifier (ID) at least based on the SPID; and either map a radio bearer to a flow associated with a User Equipment device (UE) or configure a component to map the radio bearer to the flow. After mapping the radio bearer to the flow, the device may send data from the flow to the UE based on the QoS related ID. After configuring the component, the device may forward the SPID to a second component for sending the data from the flow to the UE based on the QoS-related ID.

Systems and methods for multi-dimensional differentiation of radio access networks

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an admission and congestion control service is provided. The service may dynamically reconfigure admission control information of an end device. The admission control information may include one or multiple types of access class values of the end device or an application of the end device.

Admission and congestion control service

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an SLA-based network slice control service is provided. The service may provision a network slice with multiple tiers of service based on a performance metric with differing performance metric values. The service may also provision the network slice based on other factors such as location of an application service layer network. The service may monitor and reconfigure the network slice when the performance metric is not satisfied.
