Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for improving interaction dynamics between users and telecommunications devices through the use of encoded audio signals. An interaction system can obtain user inputs during a telecommunications session, obtain encoded audio signals based on these inputs, and transmit the encoded signals. A telecommunications device can receive these encoded audio signals, decode them to identify embedded instructions, and execute the corresponding operations, thereby facilitating enhanced interaction dynamics.

Abstract: A method of operating a core network node in a communication system includes receiving, at a first network function, a registration message from a radio access network node to register a user equipment, UE, and, responsive to the registration message, transmitting a request for information on whether network slices associated with the UE are subject to Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization, NSSAA. Responsive to the request, the method receives a response message including Single-Network Slice Selection Assistance Information, S-NSSAI, information associated with the UE, the S-NSSAI information including NSSAA status information relating to the S-NSSAI information, and determines whether to initiate an NSSAA procedure with the UE based on the S-NSSAI information. Related network nodes are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for improving the reliability of a security system includes determining an amount of cellular communication data usage over a cellular communication connection since the beginning of a predefined period of time and a remaining amount of cellular communication data for the remainder of the predefined period of time based at least in part on the amount of cellular communication data usage over the cellular communication connection since the beginning of the predefined period of time and a predefined cellular data usage cap for the predefined period of time. When a determination is made that a projected amount of cellular communication data usage is expected to exceed the predefined cellular data usage cap at or before the end of the predefined period of time, one or more operations of the security system are changed to reduce the amount of cellular communication data usage by the security system.

Abstract: Service information (e.g., enhanced broadcast service (eBCS) information) may be distributed. Service (e.g., eBCS) capabilities may be advertised (e.g., by an access point (AP)), for example, by broadcasting a public action frame. A public action frame may include per-service information. A public action frame may be transmitted on a per service basis. A public action frame may combine authentication information and service information. Enhanced broadcast service origin authentication may be performed on a per service basis (e.g., using origin authentication information to authenticate broadcast data frames for a consumed service). Origin authentication information may be common to frames associated with different services. Services may be consumed without querying a service originating device. Stations (e.g., with and without association with an AP) may report consumption or usage of services, Reporting may be unsolicited or solicited (e.g., in response to a request from an AP).

Abstract: A WTRU may track parameters associated with the WTRU or target WTRUs. The parameters may be associated with positioning and/or sidelink communications. The WTRU may receive a configuration for transmission of reference signals to target WTRUs. The WTRU may transmit one or more reference signals on one or more configured sidelink resources. The WTRU may receive respective measurement report(s) from respective target WTRU(s) (e.g., a target WTRU may receive a reference signal transmitted by the WTRU and send an associated measurement report). The WTRU may be configured to send the received target WTRU measurement(s) to the network entity. The WTRU may send each of the received measurements. The WTRU may send the received measurement(s) if condition(s) are satisfied. For example, if a first measurement associated with a first measurement report from a first target WTRU exceeds a first threshold, the WTRU may send the first measurement to the network entity.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that dynamically manage network traffic for individual subscribers based on past and current data usage rates. The disclosed systems and methods operate to control data traffic for a group of subscribers that share a common access network or that share a common access link to an access network. Prior to an individual subscriber reaching their data plan limit, the disclosed systems and methods track individual subscribers' past and current data rates and manage individual subscribers' current usage rates so that each subscriber's continually or periodically updating past usage rate stays within a provisioning rate for the group. This can improve user experience because rather than waiting until a subscriber has reached their plan data limit to impose strict data usage restrictions, the disclosed systems and methods use modest restrictions continuously or intermittently during the plan period.
