Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, systems, and/or apparatuses for evaluating movement data to identify a user as a driver or non-driver passenger are provided. In some examples, movement data may be received from a mobile device of a user. The movement data may include sensor data including location data, such as global positioning system (GPS) data, accelerometer and/or gyroscope data, and the like. Additional data may be retrieved from one or more other sources. For instance, additional data such as usage of applications on the mobile device, public transportation schedules and routes, image data, vehicle operation data, and the like, may be received and analyzed with the movement data to determine whether the user of the mobile device was a driver or non-driver passenger of the vehicle. Based on the determination, the data may be deleted in some examples or may be further processed to generate one or more outputs.

Abstract: A mobile network operator (MNO) base station, e.g., an eNB, instructs a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) user equipment (UE) to monitor to detect signals from base stations in its MVNO network and to report back the results. If the UE reports to the MNO base station, that it has detected signals from base stations, e.g. CBSDs, in its MVNO, the MNO base station applies one or more rules included in a stored Service Profile Identifier, corresponding to the UE, the applying of the one or more rules causes the MNO base station to disconnect or deny service to the UE. Alternatively, when it is determined that the UE did not detect a signal from a base station, e.g. a CBSD, in its MVNO, then the MNO base station provides communications service to the UE.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) receives wireless network services from a first wireless network slice and a second wireless network slice over a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) link. A Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) client authenticates with a 3GPP network over the non-3GPP link and establishes a first N1 signaling link for the first wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP client authenticates with the 3GPP network over the non-3GPP link and establishes a second N1 signaling link for the second wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The first user application exchanges data with the first wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The second user application exchanges data with the second wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP client maintains both N1 signaling links when both user applications are exchanging their data with the wireless network slices over the non-3GPP link.
