Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for dynamically determining appropriate antenna tuning states for communication across one or more frequency bands. An electronic device may include a radio frequency system that facilitates wireless transmission and reception of data across multiple frequency bands. The electronic device may include a processor coupled to the radio frequency system. The processor may instruct the radio frequency system to obtain measurements for a candidate tuner state and a tuner state. Further, the processor may instruct the radio frequency system to determine whether the candidate tuner state provides better radio frequency system performance than the tuner state. Additionally, the processor may update the tuning table to reflect that results of which tuner state provides better radio frequency system performance.

Abstract: Fifth Generation (5G) standards specify use of a Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI) (i.e. a concealed identity) for a user equipment (UE) during initial registration, where the SUCI is derived from a Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) of the UE. Given the identity concealment and use of different identities on different interfaces in a 5G network, maintaining subscriber state with a stateless network architecture may be challenging. Accordingly, one or more techniques and mechanisms are provided herein for subscriber management with a stateless network architecture in a 5G network, even without the need to maintain intermediate states of a UE in an external data store. The one or more techniques and mechanisms may be provided in relation to processing of Next Generation (NG) Application Protocol (NGAP) signaling messages at an access and mobility management function (AMF), and in particular, in relation to a registration procedure for the UE.

Abstract: In implementations of a recommendation system based on individualized privacy settings, a computing device maintains user profiles of information and recommendations associated with users of the recommendation system. The computing device includes a recommendation module that is implemented to receive a privacy level selection for a type of items corresponding to a user profile in the system. The recommendation module can determine a privacy setting for a user associated with the user profile, where the privacy setting is individualized for the user in context of the type of items with an algorithmic noise function utilized to obfuscate a proportional level of the information associated with the user and the type of items based on the received privacy level selection. The recommendation module can also generate recommendations of relevant items for the user based on the determined privacy setting as individualized for the user in context of the type of items.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to a system for key exchange in a blockchain based system associated with warranty-ownership of physical objects. Embodiments of the key exchange system can include user terminal devices, one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and a computing system.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for dynamically managing load on network devices in a distributed manner. As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has exponentially increased. Upgrading the existing network to accommodate increased data traffic is neither desirable nor practical. One way to accommodate increased data traffic is by utilizing network resources more efficiently. This disclosure provides systems and methods for efficiently utilizing network resources by dynamically configuring the network in a distributed manner based on real-time load information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for avoiding excessive paging through messaging-based solutions on a mobile network that supports multiple radio access technologies (RATs), such as both Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)/Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE)/Universal Mobile Communications System (UMTS) technology, even in situations where the present location of the UE is not known. Preventing paging in access networks where the UE is not present ensures efficient use of radio resources in the paging channel and reduces signaling load on other interfaces. In one embodiment, a user equipment (UE) is simultaneously connected to a Serving General Packet Radio System (GPRS) Support Node (SGSN) and a Mobility Management Entity (MME). By using signaling between the SGSN and MME, the location of the UE may be tracked without requiring unnecessary paging, even when the UE is in IDLE mode or is inactive.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a method of operating a communication network, where the communication network comprises a set of users. The method includes obtaining usage activity for each of the users of the set and processing the usage activity to determine connectivity information between individual ones of the users of the set. The method also includes processing the connectivity information to determine users of the set with similar connectivity, and processing the users of the set with similar connectivity to identify a community of users within the users of the set with similar connectivity. The method also includes monitoring at least one of the users in the community to determine if action is needed for at least another one of the users in the community.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises activating a signaling reduction mode on a wireless access node for a mobile device in an idle state where the signaling reduction mode permits the mobile device to switch radio access technologies while maintaining registration with both the wireless access node and a peer wireless access node, exchanging with the peer wireless access node a first control tunnel identifier of the wireless access node and a second control tunnel identifier of the peer wireless access node, selecting at the wireless access node a second gateway to replace a first gateway, establishing a control connection with the second gateway, transmitting to the second gateway the second control tunnel identifier of the peer wireless access node so that the second gateway may establish a control connection with the peer wireless access node, and continuing the signaling reduction mode.

Abstract: An analysis system is described for identifying potentially malicious activity within a computer network. It performs this task by interacting with a user to successively remove known instances of non-malicious activity, to eventually reveal potentially malicious activity. The analysis system interacts with the user by inviting the user to apply labels to identified examples of network behavior; upon response by the user, the analysis system supplies new examples of network behavior to the user. In one implementation, the analysis system generates such examples using a combination of feature-based analysis and graph-based analysis. The graph-based analysis relies on analysis of graph structure associated with access events, such as by identifying entropy scores for respective portions of the graph structure.
