Abstract: A network environment includes a mobile communication device (a.k.a., user equipment), a wireless network, and a data management resource. In response to receiving input from the user operating the communication device, via first signaling associated with a communication session protocol, the mobile communication device establishes a voice channel over wireless connectivity between the communication device and a remote destination over a network. Via second signaling associated with the communication session protocol, the mobile communication device transmits non-voice communications (such as biometric data) associated with the user over the wireless communication link from the communication device to the remote destination.

Abstract: Various embodiments describe methods, systems, and devices for establishing a packet cable multi-media (PCMM) session. Exemplary implementations may receiving, a call initiation request message; determine whether a negative PCMM response associated with the call initiation request message is received; determine whether to ignore the negative PCMM response based on a call preferences parameter associated with the first UE in response to determining that the negative PCMM response is received; and establish a call associated with the call initiation request message in response to determining to ignore the negative PCMM response based on the call preferences parameter associated with the first UE.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is phone call endpoint security. In particular, the embodiments provide a mechanism to generate or modify a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite message to include a phone number and an encrypted identifier that identifies a calling device. A network computing device decrypts the encrypted identifier and queries a database that correlates phone numbers to identifiers. The network computing device determines to forward or reject the SIP invite message based on whether the identifier and the phone number in the SIP invite message are correlated to one another in the database. Accordingly, the endpoint is secured, and calling devices are blocked from attempting to make deceptive phone calls from phone numbers not known to be associated with the calling device.

Abstract: An active inductor circuit includes a field-effect transistor having a first source/drain adapted for connection with a first voltage source, a capacitor coupled between the first voltage source and a gate of the field-effect transistor, a resistor coupled between a second source/drain of the field-effect transistor and the gate of the field-effect transistor, and a current source coupled with the gate of the field-effect transistor. A voltage headroom of the active inductor circuit is controlled as a function of at least one of a magnitude of current generated by the current source and a resistance of the resistor.
