The device may authenticate the user device based on the confidence measurement.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may enable a wireless telecommunications network to operate more efficiently by prohibiting communications towards User Equipment (UE) devices that are in a power saving mode. For example, a UE mode server may receive, from an information transfer server, a query regarding the availability of a particular UE to receive information. The UE mode server may determine whether the UE is currently in an active mode of operation or a power saving mode of operation. When the UE is in a power saving mode, the UE mode server may prohibit the information transfer server from having the information sent to the UE; however, when the UE is in an active mode, the UE mode server may permit the information transfer server to have the information to the UE.

Abstract: A network device may receive an incoming call for a user device requesting a communication session corresponding to a particular communication session type, where the user device is attached to a first access network. The network device may identify the first access network and determine whether a first centralized network supports the communication session type in the first access network. When the first centralized network supports the communication session type in the first access network, the network device may designate the first centralized network to service the incoming call. When the first centralized network does not support the communication session type in the first access network, the network device may designate a second centralized network to service the incoming call.

Abstract: A mobile device obtains an encryption key pair, including a public key and a private key, and engages in a process, that uses the private key, for requesting a digital certificate from a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate Authority. The mobile device receives a digital certificate signed by the PKI Certificate Authority, and obtains, via a biometric input unit device, biometric data related to an identity of a user of the device. The mobile device derives a password using the biometric data, and stores, and password protects using the derived password, the public key, the private key, and the digital certificate in a secure key store.

Abstract: A device receives a request from a terminal device to start a session to authenticate a person associated with an account. The device creates the session. The session is associated with the terminal device. The device receives session information and authentication information from a user device operated by the person. The device determines the session based on the session information and generates an authentication message based on the authentication information. The device transmits the authentication message to the terminal device associated with the session to authenticate that the person is associated with the account.

Abstract: A device is configured to obtain base station information for base stations indicating whether data communicated via a respective base station should receive optimization processing. The device may obtain a base station identifier from a base station. The device may determine whether the data communicated via the base station should receive the optimization processing based on the base station information and the base station identifier. The device may receive non-optimized data to be sent to a client device via the base station. The device may selectively cause the optimization processing to be performed on the non-optimized data based on whether the data communicated via the base station should receive the optimization processing. The device may provide optimized data generated by the optimization processing or the non-optimized data to the client device via the base station based on selectively causing the optimization processing to be performed.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a request for content. The content may be associated with a content availability area. User devices located inside of the content availability area may be permitted access to the content. The method may include determining a first area entirely encompassed by the content availability area and/or a second area entirely encompassing the content availability area.

Abstract: A machine management system provides a system and method for communicating user data with a device connected to a network. The device may register for service by the network, causing the machine management system to establish a special communications path through the network when it is determined that the device is a machine device. Thereafter, user data transmitted by the machine device (or transmitted to the machine device) may be communicated using the special communications path. In certain embodiments, the special communications path may be established such that existing network elements are not involved in the transmission of communications with the machine devices, thereby minimizing the impact on implementing the system and method on existing network elements, alleviating the burden of serving these machine devices using existing network elements and permitting the implementation of device-specific services for machine devices.

Abstract: A user device may determine that an environmental parameter, sensed by the user device, satisfies a condition, and may detect an emergency based on detecting that the environmental parameter satisfies the condition. The user device may output, via the user device, an alarm notification, and may determine whether an input is received by the user device to cancel the alarm notification. The user device may notify an emergency device when the user device determines that input is not received by the user device to cancel the alarm notification.

Abstract: A system and method relate to determining am initial buffer size associated with a buffer and modifying the initial buffer size when jitter is detected. The initial buffer size may be determined and modified based on a maximum initial buffer size, and the maximum initial buffer size may be determined based on delays associated with storing data to the buffer. For example, the maximum initial buffer size may correspond to a quantity of data that can be stored to the buffer during a maximum acceptable buffering delay. The maximum acceptable buffering delay may be identified by determining drop rates associated with different buffering delays and selecting, as the maximum acceptable buffering delay, one of the buffering delays associated with a maximum acceptable drop rate.
