Abstract: This present disclosure describes techniques for relaying user plane data from a core network to a recipient device via a terrestrial core network. An orchestration controller is described that is configured to receive an indication that a terrestrial core network has received user plane data for transmission to a recipient device, detect a constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to transmit the user plane data to the recipient device, select at least a first LEO satellite to receive the user plane data, and transmit the user plane data to the first LEO satellite.

Abstract: A network speed map indicating data rates (e.g., download speeds) provided by a mobile network within a geographical area can be created based on crowd-sourced data. An example process includes receiving a plurality of data samples from mobile devices, each sample including a CQI value and a geolocation. Efficiency values can be determined from sampled CQI values associated with a bin of interest within the geographical area, and a spectrum efficiency value associated with the bin can be determined based on the determined efficiency values. A data rate (e.g., a download speed) associated with the bin can be estimated based on the spectrum efficiency value, and a network speed map showing one or more bins, including the bin, with estimated data rates (e.g., download speed) can be generated and displayed on a user computing device.

Abstract: Providing access to Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication services via an Application Programming Interface (API) is described. In an example, a request for 5G wireless communication services associated with a 5G wireless communication service provider can be received via the API. The 5G wireless communication service provider can determine that it can accommodate the request and can cause a notification to be presented via the application, wherein the notification includes an indication that the 5G wireless communication services are available. Based at least in part on receiving an indication of an input associated with the notification, the 5G wireless communication services can provide 5G wireless communication services to a user device via the API.

Abstract: Systems and methods for avoiding radio frequency (RF) interference are discussed herein. To protect incumbent stations of a communications network, a wireless carrier can direct signals transmitted by network sites away from the proximal incumbent sites or can prevent transmitting signals from the network sites in the direction(s) of the proximal incumbent sites. The disclosed systems and methods can prevent interference by not transmitting the network signal in a direction of a proximal incumbent site without any prior information about the incumbent stations relative to proximal network sites (e.g., location, height, or the like). The disclosed systems and methods can transmit test signals, receive confirmation signals, and analyze confirmation signals to determine the direction(s) in which to not transmit network signals.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable a supplemental voltage to be delivered to a Remote Radio Unit (RRU) to compensate for a voltage loss that occurs between a primary Direct Current (DC) power source and the RRU. A supplemental voltage controller is described that captures current environmental metadata associated with an operation of the RRU and calculates an RRU voltage at the RRU. In doing so, the supplemental voltage controller may generate a supplemental voltage control signal that supplements the RRU with a supplemental DC voltage.

Abstract: When a first radio of a UE has an air-interface connection with an access node on a first carrier and the UE encounters a trigger for the UE to scan for and report to the access node coverage on a second carrier, a second radio of the UE, rather than the first radio of the UE, will conduct the scanning, and the first radio of the UE will then report to access node over the air-interface connection on the first carrier a result of the scanning conducted by the second radio. Optimally, the first radio of the UE thus need not tune away from its air-interface connection with the access node in order for the UE to scan for target coverage on the second carrier. And the process could thereby help avoid the interruption of communication between the UE and the access node on the air-interface connection over the first carrier.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for transparently connecting to the same light weight machine-to-machine (LwM2M) server using both Internet Protocol (IP)-based and non-IP data delivery (NIDD)-based connectivity using all LwM2M functionality and security modes. The techniques include establishing a connection over a NIDD socket to communicate with an application server using NIDD binding to deliver a datagram destined for a target server. The datagram may be encapsulated in a serialized envelope including an application-level protocol metadata, wherein the metadata representing information corresponding to the target server. The datagram is delivered to the target server over NIDD-based transport.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively routing an unanswered communication session to a voicemail system based at least on a voicemail system identifier (FQDN) mapped to a voicemail pilot number (present within the voicemail routing profile) are described herein. The system generates the voicemail routing profile in response to a provisioning request that identifies one or more messaging services, including a voicemail service, that are to be provided to a user profile. The voicemail profile is stored within a database that is accessed to obtain the voicemail routing profile when a user device registers with a communication network and is associated with the user profile. The system utilizes internal lookup tables and repository functions to identify the voicemail system associated with the user profile and the voicemail routing profile in response to a communication session being unanswered.

Abstract: In a multi-HSS domain, in which some HSSs support a custom route advance (RA) logic and others do not, a P-CSCF may receive a request for service from a UE associated with one of the HSSs, and send the request to an assigned S-CSCF (S-CSCF1) associated with the UE. Upon failing to receive a response from the S-CSCF1 within a preset time period, the P-CSCF may send the request to the I-CSCF. Based on information included in the request, the I-CSCF may discover an address of a second S-CSCF (S-CSCF2) from the associated HSS and sending the request to the S-CSCF2 based on the discovered address of the S-CSCF2, or send a message indicative of the requested service being unavailable to the P-CSCF.

Abstract: Systems may comprise a connectivity manager application operating on a User Equipment (UE) for optimal and secure performance of local applications and improving user experience by optimizing application performance (e.g., detecting data stall events). The systems may monitor incoming internet protocol (IP) packets for one or more applications operating on the UE. The connectivity manager application may detect a drop in a rate at which the IP packets are received over a period of time and determine to reregister and/or reattach to a different node within a network or at a new network.

Abstract: Various embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for creation of voice memos while an electronic device is in a driving mode. In some embodiments, a triggering event can be used to indicate that the electronic device is within a car or about to be within a car and that text communications should be translated (e.g., via an application or a conversion platform) into a voice memo that can be played via a speaker. These triggering events can include a manual selection or an automatic selection based on a set of transition criteria (e.g., electronic device moving above a certain speed, following a roadway, approaching a location in a map of a marked car, etc.).

Abstract: Processes and systems for identifying and removing non-functional Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices from a cellular network are discussed herein. In one example, a probability distribution function of a data profile transmitted by a type of IoT devices is generated. The probability distribution function may be chosen based on a known distribution such as a Gaussian, Bessel, or linear regressive model. The probability distribution function may be empirically generated by applying data received from IoT devices to a machine learning model using supervised or unsupervised learning. After generating the model representing the expected data profile of data received from a type or class IoT devices, data transmitted by the IoT devices may be applied to the model to determine whether the IoT devices are functional or non-functional. Non-functional IoT devices may be removed from the cellular network.
