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 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

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 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

An improved discontinuous reception (DRX) mechanism is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving a request to attach to a cellular network from user equipment (UE). The method then identifies a group identifier associated with the UE and determines a DRX parameter based on the group identifier. Finally, the method transmits the DRX parameter to the UE.

Differentiated discontinuous reception based on network services

A base station device dynamically adjusts the configuration of a special slot when operating in a time division duplexing (TDD) mode. The base station can initially communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a first frequency in a time division duplexing (TDD) mode. Using, for example, a timing advance procedure, the base station can determine when the UE requires an expanded cell range (e.g., if the UE is at the cell range edge). In response, the base station adjusts a configuration of a special slot for the UE. The adjustment to the special slot can comprise an addition of a gap symbol, a prioritizing of uplink transmissions over downlink transmissions, or a reserving of one or more downlink symbols during scheduling.

A network device of a core network may maintain a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs), and may receive, from a user device, a request for service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table. The network device may identify a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service, and may generate a flow request based on the particular SPID. The network device may cause the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device, to cause the RAN to select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device.

Systems and methods for providing on-demand quality of service with radio access network control

Systems and methods provide for configuring, by a first wireless station using radio resource control (RRC), a plurality of Fifth Generation (5G) wireless stations associated with 5G secondary cell groups (SCGs), wherein the first wireless station is associated with a first anchor cell for the SCGs; determining, by the wireless station, that a dual connectivity (DC) user equipment (UE) device has a wireless connection to a first 5G wireless station via a first 5G cell, wherein a second 5G SCG is associated with a second one of the 5G wireless stations and the DC-UE device is located in an area associated with the first anchor cell and in an area associated with a second anchor cell; and switching, using a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) of the DC-UE device, the wireless connection from the first 5G cell to the second 5G cell.

Systems and methods for optimizing dual connectivity network environments

Systems and methods provide for determining whether a user device is experiencing interference; attempting to identify a source of the interference based on determining that the user device is experiencing interference; initiating a timer in response to determining that the user device is experiencing interference; determining whether the source of the interference was identified before the timer expires; and dynamically mitigating the interference based on identifying the source of the interference before the timer expires.

Methods and systems for dynamic interference mitigation

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 method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a core network selection service is provided. The core network selection service may minimize end devices transitioning between core networks of a multi-radio access technology (RAT) radio access network (RAN) based on cell selection priority configurations. The cell selection priority configurations may be provisioned on the end device via control messaging, such as system information block messages. The core network selection service may manage the end devices when in idle mode and in a connected mode.

System and method for minimizing transitions between core networks

A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described which provide for generating, by a wireless station of a multi-radio access technology (RAT) radio access network (RAN) that includes a new radio (NR) RAN and a RAN of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a non-system information block (SIB) message that includes cell reselection priority information and NR stand-alone (SA) neighboring cell information, wherein an order of priority configures an end device attached to the LTE RAN to reselect to a first radio frequency (RF) channel of a first NR SA neighboring cell; and broadcasting the non-SIB message to the end device.

System and method for enabling cell reselection

A base station may define power saving profiles, and may define, for the power saving profiles, sets of features and parameter settings for each feature of the sets of features. The base station may store the power saving profiles, the sets of features, and the parameter settings in a data structure, and may receive, from a user equipment, data identifying a service utilized by the user equipment or an operation mode of the user equipment. The base station may retrieve, from the data structure, a single power saving profile based on the data identifying the service utilized by the user equipment or the operation mode of the user equipment, and may enable, for the user equipment, a corresponding set of features and corresponding parameter settings of the single power saving profile based on the single power saving profile being retrieved from the data structure.
