A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a mobile edge computing handover service is provided. The mobile edge computing handover service provides for the prospective provisioning of a target mobile edge computing network based on mobility information pertaining to an end device. The mobile edge computing handover service includes managing the provisioning of the application or service, content, and context information in relation to a source mobile edge computing network and the target mobile edge computing network.

Method and system for edge computing handover service

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a mobile edge computing service is provided. The mobile edge computing service provides for the hosting of a function of an application in a mobile edge computer network, and another function of the application to be hosted in a network external from the mobile edge computer network. The mobile edge computing service includes an on-boarding service that obtains subscription information and policies. The mobile edge computing service also includes network resource availability and security measure verifications.

Method and system for edge computing network interfacing

Systems and method are provided to reduce redundant data transfers for service profiles within a wireless core network. A network device in the core network receives, from a mobility management entity (MME), a user profile request. The user profile request includes a user identifier for an end device. The network device determines that a user profile corresponding to the user identifier includes a shared service profile and determines, when the user profile includes a shared service profile, whether the MME has stored the shared service profile. When the MME has not stored the shared service profile, the network device sends, to the MME, the shared service profile and a shared profile identifier for the shared service profile. The network device sends, to the MME, a response to the user profile request, the response including the user identifier and the shared profile identifier for the shared service profile.

System and method for supporting shared service profiles between network devices of core network

Systems and methods are provided for network slice selection during an initial connection. A wireless station receives, from a core network device, network slice data for each network slice available via the wireless station, wherein the network slice data includes a slice identifier and corresponding slice characteristics for each network slice. The wireless station receives, from a user equipment (UE) device, a registration request message that indicates a network slice characteristic required by an application being executed on UE device. The wireless station selects, based on the network slice data from the core network device and the network slice characteristic from the UE device, one of the slice identifiers for servicing the UE device.

Method and system for network slice identification and selection

A method for endpoint device service scaling may include identifying, at a repository device, an endpoint device that is attached to a network; and determining, at the repository device, whether the endpoint device is connected to an external display. The method may include determining, at the repository device, profile data associated with the external display in response to determining that the endpoint device is connected to an external display; and identifying, at the repository device, a connection that provides network access to the endpoint device. The method may further include specifying a service based on at least one of the profile data or the identified connection.

Endpoint based network service scaling

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

Devices, methods, and storage media provide for receiving, from user equipment (UE), a request for service data of select service data stored via a wireless service in a wireless network, the request including a user identifier (ID) associated with the UE; determining, based on the user ID, whether the request is received within a migration period that is set for migrating the select service data from a first application server to a second application server in the wireless network; determining, when within the migration period, whether the requested service data has previously been migrated to the second application server; identifying, when not previously migrated, a location of the requested service data in the first application server; retrieving the requested service data; deleting the requested service data; migrating the requested service data to the second application server; and providing access to the UE to the requested service data.

Systems and methods for wireless service migration

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide an eDRX service that may be implemented for idle mode and/or connected mode of an end device. A network device stores eDRX data as a part of subscription data. The network device may provide the eDRX data to another network device that manages eDRX for end devices. The eDRX data may indicate to use global default eDRX timer values, subscriber-based eDRX timer values, ranges of eDRX timer values, and single-valued eDRX timer values. Each type of eDRX timer value may be provisioned on a per end device basis, a per radio access technology type basis, and/or a per application type basis.

Method and system for eDRX timer control

A computer device may include a processor configured to detect a condition to page a user equipment (UE) device, retrieve mobility category information associated with the UE device from a mobility database, and use the retrieved mobility category information to determine a paging policy. The computer device may be further configured to select a number of base station cells to which the computer device is to send a paging message based on the determined paging policy and page the UE device using the selected number of base station cells.

Systems and methods for a network paging policy based on device mobility category

Systems and methods described herein provide routing determinations for MT-SMS-over-NAS in core networks that support 5G and legacy systems. A network device stores routing priority data for multiple short message service (SMS) delivery methods in the core network. The network device receives, from a first network element, a delivery request for a mobile-terminated (MT) SMS message directed to an end device and sends, in response, a query to a second network element. The query requests a short message service function (SMSF) address for an SMSF in the core network with which the end device is registered. The network device receives a response to the query and selects, based on the response and the stored routing priority data, an SMS delivery method for the MT SMS message. The network device sends, to a third network element, routing instructions for the MT SMS message based on the selected SMS delivery method.

Method and system of routing selection for SMS over NAS

A computer device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a service request from a user equipment (UE) device via a wireless access network; identify a Short Message Service Inter-Working Function (SMS-IWF) device associated with the UE device; and determine that the identified SMS-IWF device is associated with a link failure. The processor may further be configured to instruct the UE device to detach based on determining that the identified SMS-IWF device is associated with a link failure; receive a re-attach request from the UE device, in response to instructing the UE device to detach; and assign a functioning SMS-IWF device to the UE device, in response to receiving the re-attach request.

SMS-IWF reassignment for SMS link outage

A network device associated with a wireless network receives a network service-related request from a user device. The network device accesses a service profile associated with the user device to determine if the service profile includes preemptive power saving mode (PSM) data that is designated for preempting any user device-requested or network-requested power saving modes at the user device. The network device allocates, if the service profile includes the preemptive PSM data, preemptive PSM timers to the user device based on the preemption PSM data. The network device sends, in response to the network service-related request, an acceptance message to the user device that includes the preemptive PSM timers for use by the user device in executing a power saving mode.
