Management of persistent network slices by a distributed learning system in a 5G or other next generation wireless network

In multicarrier networks mobile devices can be distributed amongst carriers based on different criteria. However, prioritization may cause certain devices to end up on a carrier that is not optimal for the network. When there is a deployment of different types of cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, etc.), the cells can use the same frequency. Consequently, a priority value contained within a system information broadcast message can override the mobile default cell transition procedures and thus select a neighboring cell based on additional criteria. Thus, small cells can be deployed to offload traffic from macro cells in spite of the small cells and macro cells operating in the same frequency band.

In one example, a method and apparatus for optimizing a software defined network configuration are disclosed. In one example, the method determines a first network relative performance parameter for a current configuration of a network, based on respective weighting profiles associated with services for which the network carries data. The method then determines a second network relative performance parameter for a proposed configuration of the network, based on the respective weighting profiles associated with the services for which the network carries data. The proposed configuration is implemented in the network when the second network relative performance parameter is greater than the first network relative performance parameter.

Beamforming techniques can improve base station transmission power and user equipment (UE) sensitivity reception. For example, beamforming can create a narrow beam, which can concentrate signal power in a much smaller region. Combined with base station (gNB) requests and UE location data, an accurate beam can be generated to cover a desired area. 5G base station broadcasts can utilize a globally unique cell identifier (e.g., physical cell identifier), and a locally unique cell identifier (e.g., new radio cell global identifier) to facilitate beamforming and mitigate handover failure.
