  • Patent number: 11785467
    Abstract: Aspects relate to techniques for enabling a UE to detect a potential mistrusted UE that may be sharing inaccurate sidelink assistance information with other UEs. In an aspect, a first UE may receive a plurality of sidelink assistance information from other UEs. The first UE can further identify an amount of the plurality of sidelink resources for which a second UE provides respective inconsistent sidelink assistance information with respect to other UEs. In response to the amount exceeding a mistrust detection threshold, the first UE can transmit a report indicating that the second UE is a potential mistrusted UE to a centralized node. Based on the received reports associated with the second UE, the centralized node can transmit a mistrust indication indicating that the second UE is an actual mistrusted UE with respect to subsequent sidelink assistance information associated with the second UE.

  • Patent number: 11716607
    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.

  • Patent number: 11683746
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a User Equipment (UE) based on a Data Network Name (DNN). An Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) receives initial signaling for the UE and selects a current Session Management Function (SMF) to serve the UE for the DNN responsive to the initial signaling. The current SMF serves the UE for the DNN. The AMF detects when the UE enters a geographic area while using the DNN. The current SMF transfers a wireless reattach instruction for the DNN to the UE responsive to the detection of the UE entering the geographic area while using the DNN. The AMF receives new signaling for the UE responsive to the wireless reattach instruction and selects a new SMF to serve the UE for the DNN responsive to the new signaling. The new SMF serves the UE for the DNN.
