Publication number: 20230209376Abstract: Generating a core instance via a first access network device of a first access network, wherein the core instance facilitates operation of a second access network via a second access network device of the second access network is disclosed. Generally, implementing a core network can be highly resource intensive, e.g., high labor, equipment, and monetary costs. The level of resources that are conventionally committed in developing a core instance can be a significant barrier for many small or medium sized entities. The disclosed subject matter discloses a configuration component that can generate a core instance that can be performed at a remotely located access network. In an embodiment, a remotely implemented core instance can be updatable. Further, in response to a remotely implemented core instance failing to perform, a monitoring component can facilitate a failover operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventor: Arturo Maria

Patent number: 11689996Abstract: An access identifier and network slice access management component (ANMC) is disclosed. The ANMC can receive service access update information from an entity, for example a customer/enterprise, that be used to update service access of a user equipment (UE) to services of a network. Embodiments of the ANMC can facilitate updating an access identity parameter, updating an access priority parameter, updating a network slice access parameter, or combinations thereof. An ANMC can be embodied in a virtualized network function, as hardware, as software, or combinations thereof. An ANMC can be local to a network supporting the UE or can be located remotely from the network supporting the UE, such as in execution on a server of a cloud platform. The ANMC can support management of UE service access by an entity other than a carrier supporting the UE via a device external to a network of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventor: Arturo Maria

Publication number: 20220417174Abstract: Management of immersive reality devices via a reduced competition core network component is disclosed. The reduced competition core network component can preferentially be reserved for immersive reality device data and can therefore exclude some or all other types of data typically associated with conventional wireless network devices, e.g., phone, tablet/laptop computers, IoT devices, etc. This can result in immersive reality data communication that does not have to compete with more generic data types for network or computing resources. Additionally, the reduced competition core network component can be divided into at least one reduced competition user-plane network component and at least one reduced competition control-plane network component. Use of a reduced competition user-plane network component can avoid generating additional carrier network traffic. Further, a reduced competition user-plane network component can facilitate non-carrier entity authentication, security protocols, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Arturo Maria, Alexander E.
