Abstract
Techniques described herein address a current gap in Fifth Generation (5G) core standards regarding the propagation of Standard Communication with Network Elements (SCONE) parameters between critical network functions by introducing the first standardized mechanism for SCONE parameter exchange in 5G core networks. The techniques introduce a novel Session Management Function (SMF) orchestration framework that intelligently translates policy-level bit-rate directives into SCONE-compliant signal values through dynamic version selection algorithms, logarithmic scaling computations, and capability-aware User Plane Function selection. By defining dedicated Information Elements on the N4 and N7 interfaces and implementing intelligent parameter derivation logic within the SMF, the techniques enable standardized, end-to-end SCONE parameter propagation across 5G network functions with real-time adaptability and backward compatibility.
