Abstract: A system and method for provisioning devices on respective LTE or 5G network cores using a hierarchical provisioning connector. Maintained by a connectivity management platform, a hierarchical provisioning connector serving as an extension of a single provisioning connector of the customer account, such that the hierarchical provisioning connector may contain an array of single provisioning connectors. A rule processor that is utilized by the hierarchical provisioning connector to classify devices by access technology. Each configured rule may take one or more unique device identifiers as input and return a reference to exactly one configured single provisioning connector.

Abstract: A system may include an analog loop filter comprising a plurality of analog integrators, the analog loop filter configured to receive an analog signal input and a feedback output signal, at least one sampler for sampling outputs of the analog integrators, a second loop filter coupled between an output of an analog pulse-width modulation driver and a digital pulse-width modulation controller, wherein the second loop filter comprises at least one integrator and is configured to receive sampled outputs of the analog integrators from the at least one sampler and receive a feedback pulse-width modulation signal from the analog pulse-width modulation driver, and a correction subsystem configured to apply a non-linear function to a signal path of the second loop filter in order to compensate for non-linearity introduced as a result of sampling outputs of the analog integrators.

Abstract: A method for providing for policy-based access and mobility management function (AMF) selection using network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) availability information obtained from an NSSAI availability service includes, at a network slice selection function (NSSF) including at least one processor, obtaining, from an NSSAI availability service, NSSAI availability information regarding a plurality of AMFs. The method further includes receiving, from a first AMF, a network slice selection request specifying a network slice service requested by a user equipment (UE). The method further includes generating, based on the NSSAI availability information and the network slice service requested by the UE, a prioritized list including an identity of at least one AMF for supporting the network slice service. The method further includes communicating the prioritized list to the first AMF.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for using access point name (APN) independent subscriber bindings. In some examples, a method is performed by a Diameter signaling router (DSR) for a telecommunications network. The method includes receiving, from a policy related node, a policy related message including a subscriber identifier associated with a subscriber; determining that the policy related message lacks APN information; after determining that the policy related message lacks APN information, using the subscriber identifier and preconfigured APN information to generate or identify a binding between the subscriber and a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) server of a pool of PCRF servers, or using the subscriber identifier to identify a first bound policy and charging rules function (PCRF) server of a pool of PCRF servers; and sending, to the identified PCRF server, the policy related message received from the policy related node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a direct memory access (DMA) operation are provided. The method includes receiving a host memory address by a device coupled to a computing device; storing the host memory address at a device memory by a DMA engine; receiving a packet at the device for the computing device; instructing the DMA engine by a device processor to retrieve the host memory address from the device memory; retrieving the host memory address by the DMA engine without the device processor reading the host memory address; and transferring the packet to the computing device by a DMA operation.
