Abstract: A data communication network serves User Equipment (UE) over an optimal wireless network slice for a user application. A Network Exposure Function (NEF) receives a notice message indicating a UE Identifier (ID) for the UE and an application ID for the user application when the UE downloads the user application. In response, the NEF transfers a download message indicating the UE ID and the application ID to a network control-plane. The network control-plane receives the download message from the NEF, and in response, selects a slice ID for the optimal network slice based on the application ID for the user application. The network control-plane transfers a slice message indicating the application ID and the slice ID to the UE. In response to the slice message, the UE uses the optimal network slice when executing the user application.

Abstract: A synthetically generated noise image is generated from at least one high signal-to-noise ratio target image and at least two zero-mean Gaussian noise images, scaled according to a noise scale. The images are combined in a non-linear manner to produce the synthetically generated noise image which can be used as a training image in a machine learning-based system that “denoises” images. The process can be repeated for a number of different noise scales to produce a set of training images. In one embodiment, the synthetically generated noise image IN is generated according to: IN=?{square root over (I12+I22)} where I is the original target image, I1=I+pG1 and I2=pG2, and where G1 and G2 are zero-mean Gaussian noise images, and p is the noise scale.

Abstract: Network circuitry authorizes User Equipment (UEs) for wireless services from wireless networks. The network circuitry stores lists of network identifiers that are associated with UE types. The network circuitry receives an authorization request that indicates a network identifier and a UE type. The UE type comprises model, operating system, user application, and/or radio frequency. The network circuitry retrieves a networks list for the UE type and compares the network identifier from the authorization request to the network identifiers on the network list. The authorization circuitry authorizes the UE responsive to a match between the network identifier from the authorization request and a network identifier on the network list.

Abstract: A deep learning (DL) network is proposed to mitigate artifacts in simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. For example, unaliased images generated from SMS aliased images can exhibit leakage artifacts due to inaccuracies in the receive-coil sensitives used during sensitivity encoding (SENSE) processing. To mitigate leakage artifacts, the DL network learns to correct the receive-coil sensitives before SENSE processing, and/or learns to detect and subtract the artifacts from the unaliased images after SENSE processing. The DL network can also be trained to denoise the unaliased images.

Abstract: A Fifth Generation Core (5GC) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network authenticates a wireless User Equipment (UE) for LTE data service using a 5GC Subscriber Concealed Identifier (SUCI). A Mobility Management Entity (MME) receives the 5GC SUCI and transfers the 5GC SUCI to a 5GC authentication system. The 5GC authentication system determines a 5GC Subscriber Permanent Identifier (SUPI) and authentication vector based on the 5GC SUCI. The 5GC authentication system transfers the 5GC SUPI and the 5GC authentication vector to the MME. The MME exchanges 5GC authentication data with the UE. The MME authenticates the UE based on the 5GC authentication vector and the 5GC authentication data. In response to the 5GC authentication, the MME initiates the LTE data service for the UE based on the 5GC SUPI.

Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems and methods to determine and/or correct slice leakage and/or residual aliasing in the image domain in accelerated MRI imaging. Some implementations process one slice of MRI image domain data by input to a sensitivity encoding (SENSE) un-aliasing matrix built from predetermined RF signal reception sensitivity maps, thereby producing SENSE-decoded MRI image domain data for one pass-through image slice and at least one extra slice, and determine inter-slice leakage and/or in-plane residual aliasing based on content of the at least one extra output slice from the SENSE-decoded MRI image domain data. Some implementations correct slice leakage in reconstructed images by generating a fractional leakage matrix of inter-slice leakage measurements, and by multiplying the inverted fractional leakage matrix with uncorrected reconstructed images.

Abstract: In an approach to content selection, one or more computer processors receive a first query from a user. The one or more computer processors retrieve a first response for the first query. The one or more computer processors determine whether the first response exceeds a threshold for a policy for content usage associated with the first response, wherein the policy for content usage specifies one or more restrictions for usage of a content asset. In response to determining the first response exceeds the threshold for the policy for content usage, the one or more computer processors select a first subset of the first response to meet the threshold for the policy for content usage. The one or more computer processors send the first subset of the first response to the user.
