Abstract: A system and method for returning security policy requirements data based on user input that identifies a cloud environments, a service model, first or third party responsibilities, and/or code deployment information. A user provides answers to straightforward, generally non-expert questions directed to the user's cloud environment, first or third party responsibilities, and/or code deployment information for the user's scenario, e.g., technical workload. The answers result in determining which architecture layers apply (are in-scope architecture layers) relevant to the user's scenario. The in-scope architecture layers map to security requirements maintained in a security policy data store. The security requirements are returned (e.g., as a list) in response to the user's answers.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling uplink communication from a user equipment device (UE) that has at least two co-existing air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node. An example method includes comparing a level of antenna pattern efficiency associated with the first air-interface connection with a level of antenna pattern efficiency associated with the second air-interface connection and, based at least on the comparing, configuring an uplink split ratio defining a distribution of uplink user-plane data flow of the UE between at least the first air-interface connection and the second air-interface connection. In an example implementation, this could involve configuring one of the air-interface connections as a primary uplink path to which the UE restricts its uplink communication unless and until a trigger occurs for transitioning the UE to operate in an split-uplink mode.
