Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a plurality uplink data packets on a network, the plurality of uplink data packets conveying application protocol messages from an application on a mobile device to an application server providing a service to the application on the mobile device over the network; providing data packets of the plurality uplink data packets to a machine learning model, the machine learning model trained to identify respective application protocol messages from the data packets; receiving from the machine learning model an indication that a start video download application protocol message has been identified by the machine learning model, the start video download application protocol message requesting initiation of a video download to the application on the mobile device from the application server; detecting a plurality of downlink data packets on the network, the plurality of downlink data packets conveying video content data to the mobile device in respo

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining input data, processing the input data to generate output data, the output data including an identification of one or more characteristics associated with tethered communications involving at least a first user equipment, and based on the identification of the one or more characteristics, causing an action to be taken. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of receiving a plurality of data packets captured from a network, wherein the data packets are associated with streaming video content across the network, and wherein the video content is encrypted; processing the plurality of data packets to extract features from each of the data packets in the plurality of data packets; providing the features to a trained machine learning (ML) model comprising a plurality of layers; and outputting an identification of the video content determined by the ML model. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations including receiving encrypted hypertext transport protocol (HTTPS) traffic including media content; separating the HTTPS traffic into audio segments and video segments; calculating a size for each audio segment in the HTTPS traffic; maintaining a sliding window of a plurality of sizes of consecutive audio segments to form a fingerprint; and identifying the media content by matching the fingerprint with a reference in a catalog. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) devices that are not associated with a specific wireless carrier can be contractually operated as an extension of the specific Wi-Fi carrier. In this case, a display screen of a mobile device, that is currently communicating with the Wi-Fi device as an extension of the carrier, can display the carrier info. The display can be a result of a comparison between an internal mobile device data store and/or an external list that comprises the Wi-Fi devices that are acting as extensions of the carrier for a 5G network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for selecting an optimal media-adaptation resource for latency-sensitive applications are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for selecting an optimal media-adaptation resource for latency-sensitive applications. The method includes determining a need for a media-adaptation resource for a media stream between nodes in a telecommunications network, and, at a selection entity for selecting media-adaptation resources, selecting, from a plurality of media-adaptation resources, a media-adaptation resource for the media stream based on an Internet protocol (IP) topological proximity of the resource to at least one of the nodes.
