  • Publication number: 20230237909
    Abstract: A cooperative intelligent traffic system is provided for use between bicycles, motorcycles, and other vehicles. Sensor data from mobile devices and other sensor devices associated with the vehicle can be sent to an edge network computing device (e.g., a multi-access edge computing device) and be processed at the edge network to identify threats and hazards, and then transmit the threat assessment data to other bicycles, motorcycles, and vehicles nearby. The threat assessment data can be used by the operators of the other vehicles to warn them of upcoming threats, hazards, road conditions, and other pertinent conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230230020
    Abstract: A virtualized network function included in a mobile communication network may be capable of performing validation of sensor data. The sensor data may be generated by one or more sensors monitoring a tangible asset that is being transported between geographical locations. The sensor data may be received by the virtualized network function from an Internet-enabled device in communication with the mobile communication network. In some cases, a contract management application included in the virtualized network function may validate the sensor data based on one or more compliance thresholds describing a shipment condition of the tangible asset. Based on determining whether the sensor data indicates a compliant shipment condition for the tangible asset, the contract management application may modify a contract associated with the tangible asset.

  • Publication number: 20230121960
    Abstract: A user equipment (e.g., C-V2X user equipment) can receive a transmission from a network device of a mobile network and decode the transmission using a first forward error correction code. The user equipment can determine an attribute of the transmission to determine a condition of the communication channel. Based on the condition of the communication channel, the user equipment can facilitate transmitting feedback to the network device, wherein the feedback is forwarded through the mobile network to an application server device that selects a second forward error correction code based on the feedback. The second forward error correction code can be transmitted to, and received by, the user equipment. The user equipment can use the second forward error correction code to decode subsequent transmissions.

  • Patent number: 11627107
    Abstract: An integrated GW (I-GW) can be utilized to facilitate communications with Internet of things (IoT) devices that operate without Internet protocol (IP) addresses, based on assigned preferences and/or priority. In one aspect, the I-GW can efficiently deliver existing services for various types of IoT devices (e.g., that support different non-IP protocols) and can create emerging applications across different vertical applications. Further, the I-GW can leverage mobility network elements to authenticate, prioritize connections, and/or enable data orchestration via underlying software defined network (SDN)-enabled capabilities and/or infrastructure services. By utilizing IoT devices that do not have IP stacks, a cost and/or size of the IoT devices can be decreased and battery life can be significantly extended.

  • Publication number: 20230014422
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards generating a simulated virtual experience that represents predicted interaction of a user/vehicle with traffic in a traffic zone. A user who is considering entering a traffic zone (e.g., that charges a fee for usage) can request a simulated virtual experience of what is likely to occur if the user decides to enter. Based on the simulated virtual experience, which can be a graphical visualization in 3D, the user can make an informed decision as to whether to enter and pay, or not enter. User-specific data such as user preferences and other provided criterion can be used with respect to generating the simulated virtual experience. For current users about to enter the zone, current traffic data is used along with historical data in generating the simulated virtual experience.
