Abstract: Systems and methods for application signing are disclosed. In some implementations, an application package identifier and a password may be received at an application signing server. Upon authenticating the application package identifier and the password, a fingerprint identifying the developer is received. Upon receipt of the fingerprint, the application signing server generates a secure key for the application based on the fingerprint, where the secure key is provided to the developer for inclusion within the application. Upon determining that the application package identifier and the secure key included in a request from an operating system of a mobile device matches an authorized application package identifier and an authorized secure key stored at the application signing server, the application signing server provides the requested list of the one or more APIs to the operating system to grant the application access to the APIs in the list.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing and forecasting network traffic are disclosed. In some implementations, multiple points are received. Each point represents a time value and a network traffic value. For each point in the multiple points, the network traffic value is decomposable into a trend component, a seasonality component, a burst component, and a random error component. A trend equation is generated for calculating the trend component based on the time value. A seasonality equation is generated for calculating the seasonality component based on the time value. A burst equation is generated for calculating the burst component based on the time value. A random error equation is generated for calculating the random error component. A network traffic equation is generated for calculating the network traffic value based on the time value by combining the trend equation, the seasonality equation, the burst equation, and the random error equation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating network capacity or performance are disclosed. In some implementations, a target network resource is selected for evaluation. Key performance indicators for computing a target network resource value for the target network resource are determined. The determined key performance indicators are filtered out of a set of key performance indicators. A data set is gathered. The data set comprises multiple points. Each point indicates a key performance indicator value for at least one of the determined key performance indicators and the target network resource value. A calculation module is trained to calculate the selected target network resource value based on key performance indicator values included in the gathered data set. The calculation module is tested using a testing data set. The testing data set has a same probability distribution of key performance indicator values and target network resource values as the gathered data set.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote diagnostics are disclosed. In some implementations, a request for a device diagnostic session is provided from a mobile device to a diagnostic server. In response to the request, a messaging service message from the diagnostic server may be received at the mobile device. The messaging service message may include an authentication token. Upon receipt of the messaging service message including the authentication token, a diagnostic client resident at the mobile device may be initialized. Upon authenticating the authentication token included in the received messaging service message, a secure connection for the device diagnostic session may be established between the diagnostic server and the initialized diagnostic client. Diagnostic commands may be received at the diagnostic client from the diagnostic server via the established secure connection. The diagnostic commands may cause the diagnostic server to retrieve device diagnostics of the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating device quality are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for forecasting device return rates are disclosed.

Abstract: A selection server device may receive a first registration request and determine that a user device is associated with a non-local call service control function (CSCF) server device and that the user device is located outside of a service area associated with the non-local CSCF server; output a non-preferred server indication to the non-local CSCF server device to cause the non-local CSCF server device to be disassociated with the user device; receive a second registration request from the user device; determine that the user device is not associated with any CSCF server; and output the second registration request to a local CSCF server device, associated with a service area in which the user device is located, to cause the local CSCF server device to register the user device with the local CSCF server device.

Abstract: An approach for scheduling and delivery of contents from one or more sources to one or more service areas according to one or more QoS parameters. The approach includes receiving a request to schedule a content package for delivery to a service area over a multicast data channel, wherein the multicast data channel is associated with a default scheme for scheduling the delivery. The approach also includes identifying a prioritization parameter associated with the content package, a provider of the content package, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the approach includes determining whether to initiate an override of the default scheme for the delivery of the content package based on the prioritization parameter. Further, the approach includes scheduling the content package based on the override, the default scheme, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An example of a system that provides notary services on behalf of an application client running on a mobile device is described. The application client requests a notarization token from an application notary service client running on the same mobile device. The application notary service client utilizes a SIM card of the mobile device to generate a notarization token request which is sent to an application notary service server. The application notary service server utilizes a SIM signature validator server to validate the notarization token request and generates the notarization token for delivery to the application client via the application notary service client. The application client includes the notarization token in a request to an application server, which uses the notarization token to validate the application client for access to a function or data of the server.
