Abstract: The techniques include receiving a handover request from a user device connected to a first access network and identifying a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) serving the user device. The user device provides to the N3IWF, measurement report indicating network conditions. The techniques further include receiving the measurement report from the N3IWF and determining whether a measurement in the measurement report is above a predetermined threshold. If the measurement is above the predetermined threshold, the handover request is accepted to enable the user device to connect to a second access network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing a phone number list are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a computing device, telephone call data that reflects characteristics of telephone calls placed and received by a first user. Based on the telephone call data, the actions further include generating, by the computing device, a first telephone number whitelist for the first user. The actions further include determining, by the computing device, whether to combine the first telephone number whitelist and a second telephone number whitelist for a second user. The actions further include storing, by the computing device, the first telephone number whitelist or the combined telephone number whitelist in association with the first user.

Abstract: Described herein is a capacity system that predicts capacity needs of a system. The capacity system captures outputs from meters coupled to subsystems within the system, where the outputs are not expressed in standard power units. For each subsystem, the capacity system determines values for a set of conversion factors related to the subsystem. The conversion factors describe the design and operation of the subsystem. The capacity system converts the outputs to standard power units based on the set of conversion factors and simulates behavior of the subsystems based on trends shown by the converted outputs. The capacity system forecasts an expected capacity of the system over a time period and uses the forecast to predict a date during the time period when the subsystem will experience a reduction in capacity.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques that provide privacy protection for a user by preventing user device tracking via device fingerprints. A communication may be received from a user device that includes metadata having information related to the user device. An intended recipient of the communication may be identified. Based on one or more of the user device or the recipient, a determination may be made as to what data within the metadata should be scrambled or selectively replaced. The data may then be overwritten with alternative data that may be selected at random, and the communication is forwarded to the recipient.

Abstract: A universal subscription platform may determine whether information for one or more third-party services or one or more third-party media content files are to be presented via the common ordering interface portal based at least on a network subscription plan of a user with a wireless carrier network. In response to the network subscription plan being a first subscription plan, the universal subscription platform may provide the information on the one or more third-party services for presentation via the common ordering interface portal. In response to the network subscription plan being a second subscription plan, the universal subscription platform may provide the information on the one or more third-party media content files for presentation via the common ordering interface portal.

Abstract: The disclosed system and method obtain a report of an issue reported by a user of the wireless telecommunication network, and historical information associated with the user and the wireless telecommunication network. The historical information includes multiple issues reported by users similar to the user, and multiple user statuses associated with the users similar to the user. The user status among the multiple user statuses includes active and inactive, indicating whether the user is an active member of the telecommunication network or has left the network. The system provides the historical information to an AI model, and obtains from the AI model a priority associated with the issue experienced by the user. The system causes a resolution of the issue based on the priority.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable a vehicle remote start controller to initiate a remote start of an idle vehicle. The remote start controller may retrieve sensor data associated with a vehicle and analyze the sensor data to determine the current state of the vehicle. In doing so, the remote start controller may determine whether to initiate a remote start of the vehicle based at least in part on the current state. In response to determining to initiate the remote start, the remote start controller may generate computer-executable instructions for delivery to the vehicle that initiates the remote start.

Abstract: A configurable radio frequency filter is discussed herein. A device can include a filter component that includes multiple filters coupled between a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and one or more antennas via individual switches. A filter of the filter component may comprise a bandpass filter configured to pass specific frequencies. Filters of the filter component can comprise pass bands that are mutually exclusive or at least partially overlapping. A device can receive a channel allocation in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band from a Spectrum Access System when initiating a carrier aggregated communication. In response to receiving the channel allocation, the device can select one or more filters of the filter component for filtering signals to and from an antenna component.

Abstract: The authorized IP addresses configured at components in an IMS network may become out of sync with a first pool of IP addresses provided by a core network to UEs. This may result in emergency communications being received at the IMS network from a UE using a first IP address of the first pool of IP addresses that is not recognized by the IMS network. A session management component of the core network may automatically assign a second IP address from a second pool of IP addresses based on determining the session management component has not received an update notification from the IMS network within a threshold time (e.g., 500 milliseconds, 1000 milliseconds, etc.) from transmitting a request to establish a packet data communications session to the IMS network using the first IP address. The IMS network may then receive packets from the second IP address.

Abstract: To reduce the likelihood that test E911 calls will be improperly connected to a public safety access point (PSAP), while ensuring that mobile devices sold to consumers are correctly routed to a PSAP in an emergency, a system for automatically redirecting test E911 calls to an answering system is disclosed. An unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) node receives a first USSD message from a mobile device during E911 testing procedure at the mobile device. In response to identifying a first code in the first USSD message, the USSD node retrieves an identifier associated with the mobile device. The USSD node sends an instruction to a gateway mobile location center (GMLC) system to redirect E911 calls from the mobile device based on the retrieved identifier such that a subsequent E911 call placed by the mobile device is automatically rerouted by the GMLC to an answering line instead of a PSAP.

Abstract: An improved core network that includes a network resilience system that can detect network function virtualization (NFV)-implemented nodes that have been compromised and/or that are no longer operational, remove such nodes from the virtual network environment, and restart the removed nodes in a last-known good state is described herein. For example, the network resilience system can use health status messages provided by nodes, intrusion data provided by intrusion detection agents running on nodes, and/or operational data provided by the nodes as applied to machine learning models to identify nodes that may be compromised and/or non-operational. Once identified, the network resilience system can delete these nodes and restart or restore the nodes using the last-known good state.

Abstract: Mobile device users navigate to each other by their mobile devices sharing location information, and then one or more of the mobile devices receiving or generating geographical directions for presentation to the mobile device's user to navigate to another of the mobile devices. Two mobile devices can provide geographical directions to enable their respective users to navigate toward each other, and a group of mobile devices can receive and provide or display geographical directions to variously enable their respective users to navigate to different mobile devices in the group. In one scenario, first and second mobile devices provide geographical directions to their respective locations and a third mobile device provides geographical directions to the first or second mobile device, and directions are dynamically updated as the mobile devices move.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically collecting information regarding network events in a 5G network are disclosed. The method includes locally storing event data initially and implementing post-event collection of the locally stored data when one or more collecting nodes become available.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to parallel routing of data packets prior to and/or during a handoff event for a user equipment (UE) between cells. An example method includes determining, by a network device, that a UE is about to participate in a handoff event while the network device is transmitting data packets associated with a service to a cell currently in communication with the UE. The network device may determine a destination cell in which the UE will be performing the handoff with and may replicate the data packets and send the data packets to both of the current cell and the destination cell in parallel. When the UE performs the handoff with the destination cell, the data packets required for receiving the service will already be present and the UE will not experience any interruption in the service prior to and/or during the handoff.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for validating the origination of an incoming customer call on a wireless communication network may include receiving a SIP invite message at the wireless communication network when the call is initiated, determining whether the SIP invite message includes one or more indicators indicating that the call originated within the wireless communication network from a device with a SIM registered in the wireless communication network, and writing a classification code to a database indicating that the call is validated if the SIP invite message includes the one or more indicators. The method may further include receiving the call at an agent computer device with caller identification information, querying the database via the agent computer device according to the caller identification information to obtain the classification code of the customer call, and suppressing a step used for call authentication if the classification code indicates that the call is validated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for MT (mobile terminated) call recovery in an IP multimedia system (IMS) network are discussed herein. A method according to an implementation comprises receiving, via a network, a request to establish a call session with a user equipment (UE); sending, to a first serving call session control function (S-CSCF), a first invite associated with the request; determining that no response is received from the first S-CSCF after a pre-set time period; sending, to a second S-CSCF, a second invite associated with the request, causing the second S-CSCF to perform actions including: obtaining an authentication to establish the call session; and sending, to a proxy call session control function (P-CSCF) of the UE, a third invite associated with the request; and receiving, via the network, a confirmation that the call session with the UE is established.

Abstract: System and methods for smart cell selection and reselection are described. A mobile device may attempt to camp on a cell in a tracking area that has advertised a particular frequency band. If the mobile device is unable to recognize an information element identifying a different subset of the advertised frequency band than that supported by the mobile device, the mobile device will store a record of the tracking area and the advertised frequency band and compare future cell information broadcasts to the entry, avoiding attempts to operate within cells in the same tracking area advertising the same frequency. In this way the mobile device conserves resources by avoiding actions in incompatible cells and avoids storing information about many cells by only storing the tracking area information.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling data split of a dual-connected user equipment device (UE) when the UE 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 (i) comparing an aggregate frequency bandwidth of the first air-interface connection with an aggregate frequency bandwidth of the second air-interface connection, (ii) based at least on the comparing, establishing a split ratio that defines a distribution of data flow of the UE between at least the first air-interface connection and the second air-interface connection, and (iii) based on the establishing, causing the established split ratio to be applied. Further the method could include using the comparison as a basis to set one of the UE's air-interface connections as the UE's primary uplink path.

Abstract: Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) restoration for a user equipment (UE) may be automatically triggered in response to the UE receiving a message waiting indicator (MWI) or a text message via a fallback protocol that is used as a backup for a primary protocol for delivering the MWI or the text message. For example, if a UE receives a MWI via Non-Access Stratum (NAS) protocol (where NAS protocol serves as a fallback protocol for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to deliver the MWI when IMS-based services are unavailable), an IMS restoration procedure may be triggered for the UE where the UE sends a request to register for one or more services of a telecommunication service provider in an effort to restore IMS-based services for the UE, thereby allowing calls to be subsequently established with the UE.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable a Communication Privilege Control (CPC) system to determine whether a real-time communication session is to be restricted. The CPC system may be configured to detect a real-time communication session between a Secondary Account Holder (SAH) device of a client account and a third-party device, and in doing so, determine with the real-time communication session is to be restricted by a set of communication privilege rules. If the real-time communication session is to be restricted, the CPC system may transmit notification data to a trusted device associated with the client account.
