Device contexts, operational modes, and policy driven enhancements for paging in advanced networks
Facilitating device contexts, operational modes, and policy driven enhancements for paging in advanced networks (e.g., 4G, 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a network device can comprise analyzing a group of contextual data for a user equipment device, and mobility management behaviors historically implemented for the user equipment device and based on an indication that a page request is scheduled to be sent to the user equipment device. The operations can also comprise configuring a paging message for the user equipment device based on the contextual data and the mobility management behaviors. Further, the operations can comprise sending the paging message to the user equipment device.
1. A method, comprising:
evaluating, by first network equipment comprising a processor, a composite view of data associated with a user equipment, wherein a paging attempt is scheduled for the user equipment, wherein the paging attempt is configured to increase a power consumption mode of the user equipment from a sleep mode, and wherein the data comprises a capability of the user equipment, a category of the user equipment, and a location of the user equipment;
evaluating, by the first network equipment, historical mobility management behaviors associated with previous paging messages transmitted to the user equipment;
facilitating, by the first network equipment, receiving an update to a mapping function for the user equipment based on signaling interactions with respective network functions of second network equipment and third network equipment; and
based on the update, facilitating, by the first network equipment, a transmission of a page to the user equipment, wherein the page is based on the data and the historical mobility management behaviors, and wherein the page is the paging attempt scheduled for the user equipment.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the page is a first page, wherein the paging attempt is a first paging attempt, wherein the transmission is a first transmission, and wherein the method further comprises:
facilitating, by the first network equipment, a second transmission of a second page as a second paging attempt to the user equipment based on the data, the historical mobility management behaviors, and the update to the mapping function.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
associating, by the first network equipment, the first paging attempt with a first targeted paging procedure and the second paging attempt with a second targeted paging procedure, different from the first targeted paging procedure.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data further comprises a radio network capability.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the transmission of the page to the user equipment comprises:
accessing a paging policy and a context mapping table; and
configuring the page for the user equipment based on the paging policy and the context mapping table.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the page is a first page, wherein the paging attempt is a first paging attempt, wherein the transmission is a first transmission, and wherein the method further comprises:
facilitating, by the first network equipment, a second transmission of a second page to the user equipment based on a first determination that a response from the first page was not received from the user equipment and based on a second determination that a paging policy authorizes a second paging attempt for the user equipment.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the transmission of the page to the user equipment comprises:
evaluating an information element of a paging policy indicator flag based on a determination that the paging attempt scheduled for the user equipment is derived from a downlink data notification; and
executing a paging for the downlink data notification based on implementation of a first policy based on the information element of the paging policy indicator flag being a first value, and a second policy based on the information element of the paging policy indicator flag being a second value.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the transmission of the page to the user equipment comprises:
executing a short message paging as a function of a mapping policy based on a determination that the paging attempt scheduled for the user equipment is derived from a short message service indicator.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user equipment is classified as an internet of things device.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating the transmission of the page to the user equipment comprises facilitating the transmission of the page via a channel configured to operate according to a fifth generation communication protocol.
