Abstract: A security keys broker residing on a core mobile communication network may manage security keys associated with network-enabled devices, such as Internet-of-Things devices. The security keys broker may authenticate, encrypt, or decrypt communications with the network-enabled devices using the associated security keys. Characteristics of the communications with the network-enabled devices may be determined, and the security keys broker may determine insecure communications based on the characteristics. Responsive to determining that an insecure communication has occurred, the security keys broker may update one or more of the security keys.

Abstract: Managing vehicle resources by a network device in lieu of a designated vehicle control device is disclosed. A connected car resource manager of a carrier core network can receive vehicle information intended for the designated vehicle control device. The connected car resource manager can determine a response command that can be substituted for a command from the designated vehicle control device update a parameter of the vehicle. The response command can be based on the vehicle information, supplementary information, etc. Moreover, the response command can be adapted based on a second tier of supplementary information by another carrier core network device. In some embodiments, the connected car resource manager can share management of response commands with the designated vehicle control device vehicle. The connected car resource manager can employ information about other vehicles connected to a network that is not available to the designated vehicle control device.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, exchanging messages between a back-end-as-a-service network element and a mobile core network processor to obtain a message exchange responsive to a request for providing a mobile device with access to a back-end service of a remote system without requiring a back-end client resident at the mobile device. The messages are exchanged according to protocols operating at layers below layer five of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) seven-layer model. Responsive to the message exchange, delivery is facilitated of the back-end service of the remote system to the mobile device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for providing a spectrum access sharing front-end processor for mobile management entities. A front-end processor of a mobile management entity associated with a carrier network can receive a spectrum allocation message. The spectrum allocation message can include data that indicates a spectrum allocation that should be implemented by the carrier network. The front-end processor can identify an eNodeB that is controlled by the mobile management entity, generate, based on the spectrum allocation message, a signaling command that includes data that indicates the spectrum allocation, and send the signaling command to the eNodeB.

Abstract: A network processor may receive a request from an endpoint device to increase a priority of traffic associated with a first quality of service class indicator, which is associated with a first packet data session quality of service label, and may increase the priority of the traffic in response to the request by sending an instruction to a network element to adjust a mapping of the first quality of service class indicator to a second packet data session quality of service label for the traffic. The network element may label packets in the traffic with the second packet data session quality of service label instead of the first packet data session quality of service label, and components of the network may process the packets labeled with the second packet data session quality of service label with a greater priority than packets labeled with the first packet data session quality of service label.

Abstract: A processor may receive a request to authenticate an endpoint device associated with a media streaming session, the media streaming session delivered to the endpoint device via a cellular access network, generate an authentication key, and transmit the authentication key to the endpoint device via a short message service message. The processor may further receive a calculated response from the endpoint device, the calculated response based upon the authentication key and a seed key of the endpoint device, determine whether the calculated response matches an expected response based upon the authentication key and the seed key, and authenticate the endpoint device based upon whether the calculated response matches the expected response.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including monitoring a communication network managed by a service provider to detect transmission of content to a communication device through the communication network, analyzing content information associated with the content that is transmitted to the communication device to identify a feature of the content, capturing a user-generated comment that is transmitted from the communication device through the communication network, analyzing the user-generated comment that is captured to detect an occurrence of a keyword that is associated with the feature of the content, determining whether the keyword in the user-generated comment was temporally associated with the feature of the content transmitted to the communication device to identify an occurrence of a trigger event associating the keyword with the feature of the content, and responsive to identification of the occurrence of the trigger event, transmitting a message associated with the

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a first network element in local communication with a gateway of a core network portion of a mobility network. Establishment of a first logical network connection is facilitated between the first network element and a second network element in local communication with a remotely accessible system, such as a back-end system of an enterprise data center or cloud service provider. A request from a mobile device serviced by the mobility network is detected for access to a service of the remotely accessible system. The request and/or a translation of the request is forwarded to the second network element by way of the first logical network connection. The second network element forwards the translated request to the remotely accessible system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Certain aspects of this disclosure relate to authentication of mobile devices to the public wireless network using blockchains. In some aspects, a system includes a database configured to store blockchains for authenticating mobile devices to access a public wireless network. Each blockchain can be associated with a mobile device. A processor can receive a blockchain record from a mobile device and grant access of the mobile device to the public wireless network when the blockchain record corresponds to the blockchain stored in the database. A new block can be appended to a blockchain to produce a new blockchain for authenticating access of the mobile device to the public wireless network at a future time. The current blockchain record is stored in the mobile device and accessed for authentication to the public wireless network.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to behavior-based filters for signaling system number 7 (“SS7”) networks. According to one embodiment disclosed herein, a behavior-based SS7 filter executed by a processor can receive SS7 traffic. The behavior-based SS7 filter can determine a behavioral characteristic from the SS7 traffic and can compare a behavior of the SS7 traffic, based upon the behavior characteristic, to a behavior profile. The behavior-based SS7 filter also can determine whether the behavior of the SS7 traffic fits within a tolerance threshold of the behavior profile. If the SS7 traffic fits within the tolerance threshold, the behavior-based SS7 filter can instruct a signal transfer point (“STP”) to which the SS7 traffic is directed to allow routing of the SS7 traffic. If, however, the SS7 traffic does not fit within the tolerance threshold, the behavior-based SS7 filter can instruct the STP to deny routing of the SS7 traffic.
