  • Publication number: 20240137731
    Abstract: A device may receive content from an application server based on a user equipment (UE) generating a request to view the content over a unicast bearer, and may store the content in a temporary data structure. The device may receive a redirected request to view the content from the UE, and may provide the content over the unicast bearer to the UE based on the redirected request. The device may receive, from the UE, a unicast consumption of the content by the UE and a location of the UE, and may determine whether interest in the content for the location satisfies a threshold based on the unicast consumption. The device may initiate multicast and broadcast service (MBS) core functions with computing resources to utilize for an MBS for the content at the location based on the interest in the content for the location satisfying the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240135408
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to impression count determination. A forecasting time series (TS) model is established based on measured impression counts (MI-counts). Metrics are calculated from MI-counts from a sub-range of a profile. Different types of data characteristics are detected based on the metrics. Hybrid correction applied to the profile is determined based on the detected data characteristics. Corrected impression counts (I-counts) for the profile are generated via the hybrid correction operation based on the MI-counts and I-counts estimated from the forecasting TS models and provided for determining a level of viewership of the content at the site.

  • Patent number: 11968315
    Abstract: Systems and methods leverage trust anchors to generate tokens which can then be used by network functions (NFs). A virtualization infrastructure manager (VIM) for a virtualized platform receives a NF software package and a certificate request token (CRT) from a management function. The NF is a virtual NF, a containerized NF, or another virtual entity (xNF) to be deployed. The CRT is digitally signed by the management function and includes a network address of a trust anchor platform and a NF profile. The VIM deploys the NF and provides the CRT to the NF. The NF obtains from the CRT the network address of the trust anchor platform, generates a certificate signing request (CSR) for a digital certificate, and submits the CSR and the CRT to the trust anchor platform. The NF receives a digital certificate from the trust anchor platform based on validation of both the CSR and CRT.

  • Publication number: 20240125606
    Abstract: A vehicle routing platform may store, in a first data structure, a value at a logical index for each pair of locations of a plurality of pairs of locations. The logical index, for a pair of locations, indicates whether a travel time has been determined. The vehicle routing platform may store, in a second data structure, an offset index for each predetermined logical index of one or more predetermined logical indexes of the first data structure. The offset index, for a predetermined logical index, may be based on a quantity of logical indexes preceding the predetermined logical index in the first data structure. The vehicle routing platform may store, in a third data structure, travel times between pairs of locations of a portion of the plurality of pairs of locations. The vehicle routing platform may determine a travel time, between a pair of locations, using the data structures.
