Abstract: A carrier network may detect and prevent completion of SIM swap frauds. For example, a carrier network may, based at least in part on a SIM swap request to replace a first SIM associated with a subscriber with a second SIM, store first information associated with the first SIM. Subsequent to the execution of a SIM swap to replace the first SIM with the second SIM, the carrier network may perform fraud detection on the SIM swap based at least in part on the first information associated with the first SIM stored based at least in part on the SIM swap request and based at least in part on second information associated with the second SIM and based at least in part on the SIM swap being detected as fraudulent by the fraud detection, cause the second SIM to be prohibited from operating with respect to the subscriber.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for performing hybrid synchronization of databases in a telecommunication network. Management and replication of different types of data stored in the databases can be performed differently. Provisioning data stored in the databases can be managed differently from session data stored in the databases. The provisioning data can be managed utilizing synchronous synchronization. The session data can be managed utilizing asynchronous synchronization. The provisioning data can be stored in the databases separately from the session data.

Abstract: A solution for route selection includes receiving, by a network repository, from a first network function (NF), a query related to a target NF; querying, by the network repository, a route selection node for a shortest path to the target NF; receiving, by the network repository, from the route selection node, an indication of the shortest path to the target NF; and based on at least receiving the indication of the shortest path to the target NF, transmitting, by the network repository, to the first NF, a route to the target NF. In some examples, the shortest path has at least one of: a minimum number of hops, a minimum latency, a minimum jitter, and a minimum weighted transport score. In some examples, the route selection node is co-located with the network repository, which may be a network repository function (NRF).
