Abstract: A network device may maintain a list of existing slice identifiers, associated with slices of a core network, that are in use in active UE sessions, and may receive a slice identifier associated with a slice of the core network and provided in a request to establish a session between a UE and the slice of the core network. The network device may determine whether the slice identifier matches an existing slice identifier included in the list, and may create a new network address, with an address of the network device and the slice identifier, based on the slice identifier failing to match an existing slice identifier included in the list. The network device may utilize the new network address to establish the session between the UE and the slice of the core network.

Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method for displaying a warning graphic for traffic congestion is provided. The method begins with determining a mobile device approaching a zone comprising traffic congestion. Next a first warning graphic of the traffic congestion is displayed to the at least one mobile device approaching that zone, the warning graphic displayed on the one mobile device. A location of the mobile device is tracked overtime approaching that zone. The mobile device approaching is updated that zone regarding a progress of the traffic congestion indicated in the first warning graphic by displaying at least one follow-up warning graphic on the at least one mobile device, provided prior to the traffic congestion being cleared.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing and synchronizing media content information. In one example, a method includes receiving media content information that identifies media content of the first client device, and receiving update information that includes an indication of a modification of at least a portion of the media content from the first client device, the update information conforming to a first information protocol utilized by a media management software application of the first client device. The method may also include transforming the update information to conform to a second information protocol utilized by a media management software application of a second client device, and sending the transformed update information to the second client device, the transformed update information enabling the second media management software application of the second client device to update media content of the second client device.
