Abstract: A 5th-Generation (5G) cellular communication device may at times be used with a legacy subscriber identifier module (SIM) that does not support 5G subscriber identity privacy features. To obtain a subscriber identifier for authentication, the device attempts to obtain or generate a concealed subscriber identifier with the support of the current SIM. If this is not possible, as may be the case with legacy, non-5G SIMs, the device determines whether the home network specified by the SIM is the network of the provisioning operator. If so, the device obtains an unconcealed subscriber identifier from the SIM, encrypts it with the provisioned home network key, and uses the resulting concealed subscriber identifier for authentication. If the home network specified by the SIM is a network other than that of the provisioning network operator, the device obtains the unconcealed subscriber identifier from the SIM and uses it for authentication.

Abstract: A system and method of managing network resources is provided, in which a noise threshold for an access node is set, the access node including a first plurality of resource blocks corresponding to communication in a first communication mode and a second plurality of resource blocks corresponding to communication in either of the first communication mode or a second communication mode; a noise parameter for the second plurality of resource blocks is monitored; the noise parameter is compared to the noise threshold; and in response to a determination that the noise parameter exceeds the noise threshold, access to the second plurality of resource blocks for communication in the first communication mode is restricted.

Abstract: The disclosed system and method enable multiple user devices to track the read/unread status of received messages, even though the user reads the message on only one device. A server of a telecommunication network can receive, from a user device associated with a sender, a message sent to a recipient. The user device does not communicate to the server that the received message has been read. Upon receiving the message, the server can determine that the message is in reply to a message thread and can update a status of a second message in the message thread to the read status. The second message is the most recent message in the message thread sent by the recipient to the sender. The server can provide the updated status of the second message in the message thread to the multiple user devices associated with the sender.

Abstract: Using scent fingerprints and sound fingerprints for location and proximity determinations can include detecting a movement of a user device relative to an environment, and determining if a fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment is available. The fingerprint can include a sound fingerprint, a scent fingerprint, and usage data defining resource usage of the user device at the environment, The fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment can be obtained with an instance of sensor data including a scent detected at the user device and a sound detected at the user device. Based on the instance of sensor data and the fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment, a location and proximity of the user device can be determined.

In some examples, the data traffic session type may be a non-emergency voice call, an emergency call, a video call, a wireless customer service call, or a messaging session.

Abstract: A solution for handling network congestion includes: attempting, by a user equipment (UE), to initiate a data session (e.g., a voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) call) over a packet data network (PDN); receiving, by the UE, a notification of network congestion; based on at least a fast retry timer and a fast retry counter, attempting, by the UE, fast retries up to a maximum number of fast retries at a fast retry time interval; and based on at least none of the initial attempt and the fast retries initiating the data session, attempting, by the UE, slow retries at a slow retry time interval until the data session is initiated or a trigger condition halts the slow retries. In some examples, the UE receives a retry parameter set from the network including the maximum number of fast retries, the fast retry time interval, and the slow retry time interval.

Further the method could include using the comparison as a basis to set one of the UE's air-interface connections as the UE's primary uplink path.

Abstract: Solutions are disclosed that provide for proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) awareness of access point name (APN) or data network name (DNN). This permits the P-CSCF to enforce policies regarding use of internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) resources, such as certain voice codecs (e.g., enhanced voice services, EVS) that use larger amounts of bandwidth, based on the APN/DNN assigned to a user equipment (UE). For example, certain IMS resources may be prioritized for home UEs over mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) UEs, or outbound roamers over inbound roamers, leveraging the P-CSCF's awareness of APN/DNN. In some examples, a packet gateway (PGW) or session management function (SMF) inserts APN/DNN information into a session initiation protocol (SIP) message going to the P-CSCF. In some examples, the P-CSCF retrieves APN/DNN information from a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) or a policy control function (PCF).

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving network communications, for example by scheduling or configuring a downlink/uplink (DL/UL) slot ratio, and/or an amount of redundant Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs) to be transmitted, in some cases prior to an acknowledgement. In embodiments using FDD, an improved scheduler can be asymmetrical, for example limiting resources used by an uplink to 20%, while allowing a user device to use a maximum power level, or an increased power level, in the uplink.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable a carrier aggregation of two or more carrier available carriers for uplink transmissions at a base station node. More specifically, a carrier aggregation controller may receive a resource allocation request from a base station node that is associated with an uplink transmission of user plane data from a client device. The carrier aggregation controller may determine a carrier aggregation for the uplink transmission and generate scheduling information for delivery to the base station node that is based at least in part on the carrier aggregation.
