Abstract: Solutions for dynamically toggling physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) interleaving include: a base station receiving radio measurement reports from a user equipment (UE); based on at least the radio measurement reports, determining that radio reception by the UE meets a threshold; based on at least meeting the threshold, ceasing to interleave data on the PDCCH. The base station continues to monitor radio measurement reports from the UE, and based on at least the radio measurement reports indicating that radio reception by the UE meets a second threshold, resuming interleaving data transmitted on the PDCCH. In some examples, UEs are managed in broadcast groups (e.g., UEs within a common in a cell sector), and interleaving or ceasing interleaving is based on a determination of whether all UEs in the broadcast group are able to forego interleaving.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to cross-platform exchange and sharing of auxiliary session data in connection with a transfer of a communication session. For example, with transfer of a voice call from a first platform to a second platform, the first platform shares profile data for a call participant to the second platform. In an example method, a first platform at which a user is connected to a communication session retrieves auxiliary session data. The first platform determines a transfer of the session to a second platform and sends a data record that includes the auxiliary session data to the second platform. The first platform transfers the communication session via a different cross-platform channel with a token that uniquely identifies the first platform and the data record. Accordingly, the token can be used by the second platform to locate the data record for use during the communication session.

Abstract: Method and system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions of a terrestrial wireless telecommunications network are disclosed. The system monitors a current energy consumption metric of the terrestrial network, predicts an energy consumption metric of the terrestrial network in a future time period based on at least one triggering event, and determines an available capacity metric of a non-terrestrial network in the future time period. When the energy consumption metric of the terrestrial network is greater than a first threshold and the available capacity metric of the non-terrestrial network is greater than a second threshold, the system causes the terrestrial network to enter an energy conservation mode of operation by transferring a first call or a first data session from a RAN cell of the terrestrial network to the non-terrestrial network and further causes the RAN cell to enter a low power mode of operation.

Abstract: A roadside unit (RSU) receives, from a first set of on-board units (OBUs) of a first set of vehicles, messages describing events triggered by the first set of OBUs in response to basic safety messages (BSMs). Each BSM is received by a vehicle from the RSU or another vehicle over a PC5 interface. Each vehicle is operating at less than a threshold distance from the RSU. A timestamp is assigned to each event. A feature vector is extracted from the timestamped events. A machine learning model generates an update to functionality of the RSU based on the feature vector. The machine learning model is trained to update the functionality for vehicular management. The RSU is operated using the updated functionality to communicate with a second set of OBUs of a second set of vehicles for preventing vehicular collisions among the second set of vehicles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method to route a call from a roaming UE on a 5G network. The system receives from a UE belonging to a home network an indication of a call to a dialed number. The call requires information associated with the UE that is not available to the first wireless telecommunication network, because the UE is roaming on a visitor network. The indication of the call includes a unique identifier of the visitor network. The system can determine based on the unique identifier that the UE is roaming and send a request to the visitor network to provide instructions on how to route the received call. Upon obtaining the instructions on how to route the received call, the system routes the received call.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a system and method for allocating resource blocks to a mobile device based on a traffic priority of wireless resources between the network and the mobile device. Traffic priority can be determined based on quality of service (QOS) identifiers or network slice identifiers. The highest priority users are allocated inner resource blocks with the lowest allowed maximum power reduction (MPR), the lowest priority users are allocated edge resource blocks with the highest allowed MPR, and the intermediate priority users are allocated outer resource blocks.

Abstract: System and methods for inter-network user equipment (UE) registration are described herein. A managed access system (MAS) network may receive a request for services from an unauthorized UE and may generate a registration request that it transmits to the UE's home network using a call session control function (CSCF) and the Cx interface. One or more diameter routing agents on the path between the MAS network and the destination network may determine whether the registration request was received on the Cx network and if not, may discard the message. Other criteria may also be used to determine whether to forward such requests.

Abstract: The system receives a call at a unique telephone number associated with a wireless telecommunication network and establishes a communication channel with a UE of a user. The system requests and receives a voice sample from the user and a PIN associated with the user. Using the voice sample and the PIN, the system performs a multi-factor authentication. Upon authenticating the user using the voice sample and the PIN, the system authorizes the user to make the modification to a blockchain. Upon failing to authenticate the user using the voice sample and the PIN, the system refuses to authorize the user to make the modification to the blockchain.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to use of an optimized security mode command (SMC) procedure for securing communications. When connecting to a different cellular network (e.g., from a 5th generation (5G) Radio Access Network (RAN)) to a different cellular network (e.g., a 4th generation (4G) RAN), a User Equipment (UE) performs the SMC procedure without processing subsequent commands until a period of time has elapsed. Instead of allowing the UE to process subsequent commands received close in time to receiving the SMC, the subsequent commands may be delayed/suspended so that the UE has time to perform the SMC procedure and establish secure communications with the 4G LTE network. According to some examples, the delay is set to a period of time (e.g., 1 ms, 10 ms, or some other value) such that the subsequent command does not interfere with performing the SMC procedure.

Abstract: Techniques for neutralizing malicious malware embedded in a media item being sent to a user equipment (UE) are discussed herein. A network device may receive (e.g., intercept) a medial file in transit via a wireless communication network being sent to a UE. The media file may include some type of perceptible content (e.g., audio, video, image data, etc.) as well as malware embedded in the media file. The network device may generate a transcoded media file based on the received media file that includes the perceptible content while neutralizing the malware.

Abstract: Systems and methods for taking actions in response to a condition or state of a mobile device are disclosed. The system receives interactions between agents and subscribers of a telecommunications service provider relating to use of the mobile device to access a network. The system accesses subscriber data for the subscriber based on the interactions, the subscriber data including a coverage map. The system determines a usage pattern characterizing the use of the mobile device to access the network. And the system uses the interactions, the subscriber data, and the usage pattern to recommend an action to respond to a condition or state associated with the mobile device. The action can include updating the mobile device, changing a device state, or replacing the mobile device. In some implementations, the system trains and uses a machine learning model to recommend the action and/or to identify and access the subscriber data.

Abstract: Solutions for providing a data traffic session for a user equipment (UE) over a wireless network comprises: receiving, by a session management node (e.g., a session management function, SMF), for a packet routing node (e.g., a user plane function, UPF), an indication of supported interne protocol (IP) traffic type (e.g., IPv4 or IPv6), wherein the indication of supported IP traffic type indicates support for a first IP traffic type or support for a second IP traffic type; allocating, by the session management node, to the packet routing node, a set of IP addresses based on at least the indication of supported IP traffic types, wherein allocating the set of IP addresses comprises allocating only supported IP addresses and withholding allocation of unsupported IP addresses; and providing, to the UE, using an IP address of the set of IP addresses, the data traffic session through the packet routing node.

The method includes instantiating a new NF associated with a target region; iteratively querying one or more network repository functions (NRFs) for lists of NFs associated with smaller regions based on a preceding response; and registering the new NF based on one or more responses to the iterative queries.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques for directly managing, via a cellular modem device, an in-home Internet service subscription plan for using an in-home Internet service from a wireless carrier network. The cellular modem device may facilitate adjustment of the in-home Internet subscription plan by monitoring Internet service usage at the cellular modem device and then comparing a monitored Internet service usage with a corresponding threshold value. Based on this comparison, the cellular modem device may present to the subscriber a selection that correspond to different adjustments in the subscription plan. The cellular modem device may then send a request for adjustment to Internet service provider based on a user-entered selection and a notification is thereafter received by the cellular modem device for the adjustment of the subscription plan by the Internet service provider.

In some cases, user equipment in physical proximity to the location tracking device may establish a connection with the location tracking device to facilitate the registration process between the network provider and the location tracking device. Once the registration is complete, the location tracking device may establish a direct connection with the cellular or mobile network of the network provider such that the network provider is able to monitor the location of the location tracking device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable individual antenna arrays of a base station node to transmit digital information via a plurality of frequency bands. More specifically, a remote radio unit (RRU) may include a first set of antenna arrays and a second set of antenna arrays. Each set of antenna arrays comprise antenna elements that are configured for use with different frequency bands. In this way, the RRU, via the first and second sets of antenna arrays, may be configured for simultaneous use with different frequency bands.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a system that optimizes computing resources for dashboards. The system includes a computing device and memory that caches snapshots of dashboard outputs. A dashboard output captures a snapshot (e.g., instance in time) of dashboard data that can be presented on display devices without needing to maintain continuous access to the underlying dashboard data. The snapshot has a quick response (QR) code overlayed at a position for a viewer to capture the QR code with a camera on a smartphone. The smartphone can read the QR code to access dashboard data through a backend communications link. The QR code can embed data that is used to track and store information about what data is being accessed by users and the frequency with which the data is being accessed.

Abstract: Multiple regions around a cell tower provide coverage to a UE. The multiple regions describe the location of the UE in relation to the cell tower. The multiple regions include a near region and a far region. The system sends a request to the UE to provide an indication of a distance between the UE and the cell tower. Based on the distance between the UE and the cell tower, the system categorizes the location of the UE in relation to the cell tower into one of the multiple regions. The system receives an indication of a problem in a communication between the UE and the wireless telecommunication network. Based on the one of the multiple regions into which the location of the UE is categorized, the system determines a likely source of the problem such as the UE, a radio network, or a core network.
