Some compositions comprise one or more core-shell nanowires comprising a core and a first shell surrounding or substantially surrounding the core. The core is formed from GaAs(1?y)Sby, where y=about 0.03-0.07 and the first shell is formed from GaAs(1?x)SbxN, where x=0.27-0.34. The nanowires have an average emission maximum of 1.4-1.7 ?m. Some nanowires further comprise a second shell surrounding or substantially surrounding the first shell. The second shell is formed from a Group V/III material such as Ga1?mAlmAs, where m=0-0.2. Some nanowires have the structure GaAs(0.93-0.97)Sb(0.03-0.07)/GaAS(0.66-0.73)Sb(0.27-0.34)N/Ga(0.8-1)Al(0-0.2)As.

Abstract: A telecommunications network provides selective roaming for user equipment (UE) devices registered to the network, allowing some UE devices to operate on a roaming network in some geographic regions and disallowing other UE devices to access roaming networks. The telecommunications network maintains mappings between UE devices and roaming permissions for each UE device. When a target UE device requests to attach to a roaming network, the roaming network passes the request, with an identifier of a particular geographic region in which the request was received, to the telecommunications network to query the mappings. If the mappings indicate the target UE device is authorized to access the roaming network in the particular geographic region, the telecommunications network allows the target UE device to attach to the roaming network.

Abstract: When a network element attempts to establish a session with another network element, a security verification agent may be activated in one or both network elements. The security verification agents, such as front-end processors, virtual network functions, or other software agents, may reside in each of the network elements.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards network slice pre-configuration for cellular communication systems, including 5G and subsequent generation cellular communication systems. Network equipment can be preconfigured to identify whether a network slice identifier included in a network communication belongs to a group of network slice identifiers. If so, the network equipment can process the network communication either according to a network slice rule that corresponds specifically to the network slice identifier, or according to a default group network slice rule for the group to which the network slice identifier belongs. Different groups of network slice identifiers can be associated with different sets of group network slice rules which can be arranged to reduce the work of setting up network slice identifiers in various network slicing scenarios.

Abstract: A radio access network (RAN) configured to support real-time communications over a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection is described herein. When a request for a data transmission is received and a real-time communication session over the LTE connection is established, the RAN utilizes the LTE connection, not a New Radio (NR) connection, for the data transmission. When a request for a further real-time communication is received and there is an active data transmission session over the NR connection, the RAN performs at least one of ceasing to allocate traffic to the NR connection for downlink or reconfiguring the data transmission session to send data over the LTE connection.

Abstract: A method of establishing an application layer connection between a user equipment (UE) and an application executing on an edge computing node via a communication network. The method comprises receiving an application service availability message by the UE that identifies a plurality of networks that provide access to an identified application executing on an edge computing node within the network; for each network identified in the application service availability message, receiving by the UE an application service figure-of-merit determined by that network associated with a prospective application layer connection between the UE and an edge computing node executing the identified application that is located in that network; based on evaluating the figure-of-merit associated with each network establishing an application layer connection by the UE via the selected network to the application executing on the edge computing node in the selected network.

Abstract: Methods, media, and systems are provided for a priority-based multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) pairing threshold for codebook beamforming. The methods, media, and systems identify a plurality of user device candidates for a user device pairing. A first user device of the plurality of user device candidates having a higher priority than another user device of the plurality of user device candidates is identified. Correlations between one or more beams associated with one or more of the plurality of user device candidates are determined. Based on determining the correlations, user devices can be paired for resource sharing. In some embodiments, the user devices are paired based on beam correlations being below a threshold. For example, the threshold can be determined based on a priority of one or more of the user devices.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein provide for adjustment of transmit power of a user device based on transitioning from one configuration to another configuration. Transitioning a user devices to a configuration may involve modifying the number of layers and/ports used for uplink communications. In response to modifying the number of layers and/or ports, a user device may alter the transmit power used for uplink communication so that a target power can be utilized by the user device. Adjustments to the transmit power enables a higher coverage and performance of the user device in a communication network.

Abstract: A content filtering system and method includes receiving in a network device in a network from a user device, a user selected set of rules identifying a set of URLs to be blocked. The set of rules are loaded into the network device. The network device receives from the user device a request to access a specified URL. A determination is made at the network device whether the specified URL is in the user selected set of rules. If the specified URL is in the user selected set of rules, then the specified URL is blocked.

Abstract: The separable dog toy has at least two components which are separable or partially separable from each other. The segments may be completely separable, or the segments may be in some way tethered together such that when the segments are separated from each other they remain connected by a connecting element. The separable segments have coupling features which enable the segments to be coupled to each other. The segments may have cavities into which the user may insert dog treats or mini-toys for the dog to find while playing with the toy. After the dog has removed and eaten the treats the owner may insert new treats into the cavities so that the dog may extract them again. This method of use is intended to keep the dog interested and engaged with the toy leading to increased stimulation and enjoyment for the dog.
