Abstract: A wireless communication network hands-out a wireless User Equipment (UE) from a non-Third Partnership Project (non-3GPP) access node to a target communication network. An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) determines UE context for the wireless UE for a data communication session over the non-3GPP access node. The AMF detects when the wireless UE de-attaches from the non-3GPP access node to handover to the target communication network. In response, the AMF transfers the UE context for the wireless UE to a Network Exposure Function (NEF). The NEF receives the UE context for the UE from the AMF and transfer the UE context for the UE to the target communication network.

Abstract: According to other aspects, a real-time system may be provided that is capable of scaling to hundreds of thousands of real-time clients (or more) to conduct a single-program instance in an interactive manner that combines video elements with interactive program elements. To provide such capabilities, a system and client software is provided that allows real-time distribution of video, and scripted rendering of interactive elements in relation to the video. Such systems may include, for example, cluster-based systems that are capable of scaling horizontally based on the number of clients involved in a particular program instance.

The controller defines wireless sectors of coverage and configures them dynamically depending on network conditions. The radio communication hardware is coupled to the antenna hardware. The antenna hardware includes multiple antenna elements to wirelessly communicate in a network environment. During operation, the controller generates configuration settings to control a configuration of the radio communication hardware and the antenna hardware. The controller applies the configuration settings to the radio communication hardware to define corresponding wireless coverage provided by one or more software defined sectors in multiple base stations in a network environment. The one or more instantiated base stations (as indicated by the configuration settings) provide multiple communication devices in the network environment access to a remote network such as the Internet.

Abstract: An automated resource management system for a retail business includes a point-of-sale system and an access control system in communication with the point-of-sale system.

Upon automatic detection of a billable event (e.g., retrieving an item from a vending machine) while the access control system determines that the user is within the retail store, automatic billing or invoicing of the customer by the point-of-sale system can occur.

Abstract: Methods for asynchronously determining relational data integrity using cryptographic data structures are performed by systems and devices. Changes in current tables of relational databases are reflected in associated history tables. Cryptographic hybrid blockchain ledgers are updated with transaction records, for entry changes in current and history tables, including transaction information and hash values of corresponding entry changes. Hybrid blockchain ledgers also include root hash values of Merkle trees of transaction records in current blocks, and hash values of prior blocks. A current block receipt is asynchronously generated and provided as a single hash value from which the validity states of the tables and ledger are able to be verified. Cryptographic receipts of specific transactions reflected in table entry changes are generated and provide immutable evidence of specific transaction existence for users.
