Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an blocking delivery service is provided. The service may use an identifier of a source end device, destination address information associated with a destination end device, and configurable criteria as a basis to block delivery of application service layer data. The service may be configured to apply to end devices based on an addressing scheme of the service. The service may be configured on a network device that provides an application service. The service may block delivery without the use of class of service or subscriber provisioning.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the maintenance of a virtual credit card pool for airline passenger vouchers. An example system includes server(s) that are configured to determine a target distribution of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool for a current date-and-time. The server(s) are configured to, in response to determining that the current date-and-time corresponds with a predefined restocking time, for each card value: identify a current number of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool; identify a threshold number of virtual credit cards based on the target distribution; compare the current and threshold numbers; in response to determining that the current number is less than the threshold number, transmit a request for virtual credit cards having the card value to an external server; and add the requested virtual credit cards to the virtual card pool upon receipt.

Abstract: A Device Roaming State Server (DRSS) may: receive a request, from a mobile device attached to a first network, to provide the mobile device with a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN). The mobile device has an external identifier (ID) but does not have an MSISDN. The DRSS is in a second network. The DRSS may then authenticate the mobile device at the second network. If the mobile device is successfully authenticated, the DRSS may select a temporary MSISDN from a pool of available MSISDNs; associate the temporary MSISDN with the external ID in a database; and provide the mobile device with the MSISDN.

Abstract: A computer device receives user parameters for an Over-The-Air (OTA) update campaign. The parameters include a number of user equipment (UE) devices to receive an OTA update, a device type to receive the OTA update, a file size of an OTA update file, and a service level agreement parameter for the OTA update campaign. The computer device generates an estimate for conducting the OTA update campaign based on the user parameters and predicted network conditions, provides the estimate to a user, and receives a request for conducting the OTA update campaign using the user parameters. The request includes identifiers for the UE devices and the OTA update file. The computer device generates, based on the request, a schedule to perform the OTA update on the UE devices in accordance with the service level agreement parameter, and instructs the UE devices to perform the OTA update based on the schedule.

The constant current drain can be dynamically adjusted based on a predetermined amount of battery life. A user can determine the amount of battery life to be required and the system adjusts current consumption of various subsystem components and applications to provide consistent and predictable battery life.

Abstract: An improved method and system of optimizing handling and sending of reachability notifications for a UE is disclosed. Solutions and implementations disclosed provide an efficient mechanism for determining the timing and duration of reachability periods for a UE and as a result predicting future reachability periods. This enables sending of one notification with sufficient information to inform the network of the time periods during which the UE is reachable instead of sending a notification each time the device becomes reachable.
