  • Publication number: 20230370892
    Abstract: A device may receive network data identifying an SINR, an RSSI, congestion, and throughput associated with a RAN, device data identifying latency and packet loss associated with the RAN, and an issue inference confidence score associated with a machine learning model. The device may process the network data, the device data, and the issue inference confidence score, with a model, to determine one or more issues. The device may adjust TTI bundling to generate adjusted TTI bundling, may lower a QCI or a QFI and adjust associated parameters to generate QCI/QFI adjusted parameters, may adjust slice parameters to generate adjusted slice parameters, or may adjust DRX parameters to generate adjusted DRX parameters based on the one or more issues with the RAN. The device may cause the adjusted TTI bundling, the QCI/QFI adjusted parameters, the adjusted slice parameters, or the adjusted DRX parameters to be implemented by the RAN.

  • Patent number: 11818293
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may obtain data indicating a client activity, and may determine predictive level scores corresponding to predictive level options associated with the client activity. The device may transmit, to a client device, a selected predictive level option having a highest predictive level score. The device may receive, from the client device, a client query based on a rejection of the selected predictive level option, and may determine intent level scores corresponding to intent level options associated with the client query. The device may identify a selected intent level option having a highest intent level score and may initiate client experience(s) associated with the selected intent level option. The predictive level scores and/or the intent level scores may be determined based on historical training data associated with combinations of client activities, predictive level options, client queries, intent level options, client experiences, and associated success scores.

  • Publication number: 20230362643
    Abstract: A system described herein may receive an authentication request from a User Equipment (“UE”). The authentication request may include a particular identifier, such as an application group identifier. The system may determine whether a token is available (e.g., has been previously generated) for the UE and the particular identifier. If such token is not available, the system may initiate an authentication procedure that includes receiving input from the UE, and may generate the token, indicating that the authentication procedure has been completed. If the token is available, then the system may forgo initiating the authentication procedure. The system may output the token, such that a service provider system authenticates the UE based on the generated token and provides services to the UE based on authenticating the UE.

  • Patent number: 11810245
    Abstract: An illustrative server system receives a request from a client device to join a virtual world managed by the server system. In response to receiving the request, the server system identifies an avatar location for an avatar that is to represent a user of the client device within the virtual world when the client device joins the virtual world. Based on the avatar location, the server system determines a first priority value for a first asset of the virtual world and a second priority value for a second asset of the virtual world. Based on the first and second priority values, the server system provides to the client device a prioritized replication of the virtual world in which the first asset is replicated in a prioritized manner that allows the user to experience the first asset before the second asset is replicated. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11811650
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide for the separation of functions associated with a User Plane Function (“UPF”) in a wireless network (e.g., a Fifth Generation (“5G”) network), such that routing devices associated with the wireless network may perform functionality that would otherwise be performed by virtualized hosts or other configurable resources. For example, routing components which form a backhaul or other portion of the network may process traffic according to a suitable set of policies (e.g., Quality of Service (“QoS”) policies, content filtering policies, queueing policies, and/or other policies) instead of transmitting such traffic to a UPF associated with the network core for processing.

  • Patent number: 11812266
    Abstract: In some implementations, an authentication system may receive a user authentication request identifying a primary device. The authentication system may generate a challenge associated with a user profile mapped to the primary device. The authentication system may transmit a challenge message including the challenge. The authentication system may receive a challenge response including a response to the challenge, wherein the response to the challenge includes identification information regarding the user profile. The authentication system may determine a set of primary services associated with the user profile mapped to the primary device and a set of secondary services associated with a set of secondary devices. The authentication system may generate a set of security keys mapped to the set of primary services and the set of secondary services. The authentication system may provision the primary device and the set of secondary devices with the set of security keys.
