  • Publication number: 20250261050
    Abstract: In some implementations, a network device may transmit user equipment (UE) route selection (URSP) rules during a registration of a UE with a non-standalone (NSA) network, wherein the URSP rules exclude network slicing related rules based on a lack of network slicing support in the NSA network. The network device may transmit, in response to a handover of the UE from the NSA network to a standalone (SA) network that supports network slicing, updated URSP rules during a registration of the UE with the SA network, wherein the updated URSP rules include a flag in each rule that controls the mode of migration of ongoing session(s) at the UE from the NSA network to the SA network during mobility procedures.

  • Publication number: 20250254490
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized, network-based framework that provides enhanced algorithmic mechanisms for improving GSM location determinations for cell tower communications. The disclosed framework's operations can provide improved visit determinations/estimates and increased value for a user's wireless/cellular data, whereby optimized parameters from and/or of the signals associated with a user device (e.g., mobile device) and tower radio communications therebetween can be leveraged to discern the POIs a user has visited and/or is currently visiting. The location tracking of the user, within a predisposed uncertainty sector correlated among the user's device communications with corresponding radio towers, provides network coverage to track specific locations among POIs for which the user has visited and/or is currently located.

  • Patent number: 12380278
    Abstract: A device identifies, in multi-context text data, unrelated text and coreference text, and extracts coreference clusters, coreference sentences, and coreference sentiments based on the coreference text. The device extracts unrelated sentences from the unrelated text, and assigns tenses to the coreference sentences and the unrelated sentences. The device extracts phrases and entities from the coreference sentences and unrelated sentences, and assigns tense flags that exclude present tense sentences. The device selects past tense phrases and future tense phrases, and combines the past tense phrases and the future tense phrases to generate phrases. The device identifies invalid phrases in the phrases, and identifies similarities between the coreference sentences and the invalid phrases. The device processes the coreference text, the coreference tenses, the coreference sentiments, and the similarities, with a reinforcement learning model, to generate final context text.

  • Patent number: 12382273
    Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an detection and autocorrection of stale session information service. The detection and autocorrection service may include the addition of a header, which may indicate date and time information, with a message that has an origination timestamp header. The header may be added to the message by an intermediary network device relative to origin and destination network devices associated with a network procedure. The header may enable detection by a network device of stale session information. The header may enable the network device to determine whether to ignore the message as a duplicate message or use the message to carry out the network procedure. In this way, duplicate messages that may include the same origination timestamp header may be managed and stale information may be detected.

  • Publication number: 20250247708
    Abstract: A system described herein may identify traffic associated with a User Equipment (“UE”) that is connected to a first network. The UE may maintain a plurality of UE identities via one or more SIM (“Subscriber Identification Module”) cards, Universal Integrated Circuit Cards (“UICCs”), etc. The system may determine, based on one or more policies, that the traffic is not authorized via the first network. In some situations, the traffic may not be authorized if the first network does not support a type, service, etc. of the traffic. The system may identify a second network, based on the one or more policies, via which the traffic is authorized, and may indicate the second network to the UE. The UE may automatically (e.g., without user intervention) switch to a particular UE identity that is associated with the second network, and may output the traffic via the second network using such UE identity.
