Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for ensuring data integrity in reporting database query responses. Initially, the schema within a reporting database is updated to add an internal dirty-data bit/attribute per record. In one aspect, if a record with the dirty-data bit/attribute set is part of the result set for a query, the dirty-data bit/attribute is provided to the reporting client along with the result set. In another aspect, the reporting database enhances the incoming query by adding the identity of the portion of the database with stale data to the query filters and communicates the enhanced query to a peer geo-redundant site that does not have a global dirty-data bit/attribute set. The reporting database replaces the stale data in the result set with the portion of data received from the peer and communicates the complete result set to the reporting client.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for proactively managing core network connectivity to a unified data repository (UDR). A UDR receives service requests from core network entities and monitors associated service performance metrics, which may include location information for the requesting entities. Based on detecting a trend in the monitored metrics, the UDR predicts that a threshold condition indicative of potential service degradation will be met. In response to the prediction, the UDR performs one or more access control actions directed to the affected core network entities prior to detecting that the threshold condition has been met, thereby proactively managing service availability. The access control actions may include rejecting service requests or instructing core network entities not to request service.

Abstract: A data communication system stores a User Equipment (UE) Identifier (ID) for a wireless UE in association with a geographic area for the wireless UE. The data communication system wirelessly transfers a wireless access node ID from a wireless access node in the geographic area to the wireless UE. The data communication system receives the UE ID and the wireless access node ID transferred by the wireless UE. The data communication system authorizes the wireless UE for a content service by associating the UE ID with the wireless access node ID based on the geographic area. The content service is delivered to the wireless UE in response to the authorization.

Abstract: The technology relates to secure management of notifications on mobile devices. The method involves receiving messages over a telecommunications network. In instances where the mobile device is in an unlocked state, the user interface of the mobile device displays the message content through notifications on the user interface. The process includes determining the unlocked state of the mobile device and assessing whether the message contains sensitive content. Upon such determination, the mobile device performs a security process, which includes preventing showing the sensitive content in the notification until the user is authenticated. Upon successful authentication, the mobile device presents the content of the notification on the user interface.

Abstract: The technology described herein improves management of core network connectivity in order to limit network connectivity issues from spreading to other areas in the wireless network. A determination that a predetermined threshold of service requests and/or service request failures associated with one or more core network entities in a first geographic area has been exceeded during a first time period serves as the basis for preventing the one or more core network entities from receiving services from a backup UDR during a second period of time, the second time period subsequent to the first time period.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein for sub-segmenting UDR segments in a 4G or 5G core network.

Abstract: System and methods for reestablishing communication connections between nodes of a user data repository (UDR) are described. For purposes of reestablishing previously established communication connections between nodes of the UDR, a portion of the nodes are designated as “attempt initiator” nodes that attempt to reestablish communication connections when conditions of the UDR permit the attempt. The nodes designated as attempt initiator nodes attempt to reconnect with nodes of the UDR designated as “attempt recipient” nodes, which are passive nodes that wait for communication attempts from one or more attempt initiator nodes.

Abstract: Described herein is a node of a telecommunications network configured to determine that a primary index for data repositories of the telecommunications network is operating in a fail-open mode and, in response, provide a request received by the node to substantially all data repositories referred to by the primary index. The node is further configured to receive a response from one of the data repositories and, based at least in part on the response, build a secondary index mapping data repositories to subscriber identifiers. When a further request is received by the node in fail-open mode, the node may refer to the secondary index first and, if the subscriber identifier from the further request is not present in the secondary index, provide the further request to substantially all data repositories referred to by the primary index.

Abstract: Methods and systems for subscriber data integrity assurance and auto-corrections are described herein. According to an implementation, the computer device may receive, from a client device, a request to perform a provisioning operation with respect to a first subscription in a subscription database. Prior to the provisioning operation, the computer device may obtain, from an index repository, a plurality of unique identities (UIDs) and associated indexes for a plurality of subscriptions of a telecommunication service provider. The computer device may further audit, based on the plurality of UIDs and associated indexes, a subscription database to generate an auditing result. If the auditing result indicates an error in the subscription database, the computer device may instruct the client device to refresh the impacted indexes and/or UIDs in the subscription database. If the auditing result indicates no error or the error is corrected, the computer device may perform the provisioning operation.

Abstract: A traffic orchestrator reduced cellular network outages via improved traffic management. The orchestrator receives network management logs and call logs from network nodes and uses them, along with key performance indicators (KPIs) for network nodes, traffic patterns, and network topology, to identify nodes that are operating in a degraded manner, or are not fit for traffic. The orchestrator generates and distributes traffic advisories to various network nodes. This rebalances traffic to reduce losses to traffic throughput, such as by rerouting traffic around degraded nodes and nodes that are not fit for traffic. This proactive approach occurs prior to a network node being reported as unavailable to a network repository (e.g.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise a wireless communication network to inhibit network data system signaling overload. In some examples, the wireless communication network comprises primary Unified Data Registry (UDR) and secondary UDRs. The primary UDR node detects a fault condition for a secondary UDR. The primary UDR node blacklists the secondary UDR node for inter-UDR communications based on the fault condition and updates a network topology graph to remove the secondary UDR node. The primary UDR node transfers a command to another secondary UDR to blacklist the secondary UDR node and to update the network topology graph to remove the secondary UDR node. The other secondary UDR node receives the command, blacklists the secondary UDR node for inter-UDR communications, and updates the network topology graph to remove the secondary UDR node.

The wireless network classifies a subscriber dataset for handling based on a parameter associated with the subscriber dataset. The handling includes deletion, compression, or preservation of the subscriber dataset. The wireless network performs the handling with respect to the subscriber dataset. In some implementations, the control plane device includes one of a Unified Data Manager, a Policy Charging Function, and Network Exposure Function and the data repository includes a Unified Data Repository.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, wireless network applications determine their priority indicators. The wireless network applications transfer their priority indicators to a data storage element like a Uniform Data Repository (UDR). In response, the data storage element transfers wireless network data to the wireless network applications in a priority order based on the priority indicators.

Abstract: Segments of a segmented database can store different sets of profile data. Each segment can have a backend that stores profile data, as well as a frontend that stores an index of keys corresponding to the profile data. An auditing system can automatically detect inconsistencies between the frontend and the backend of an individual segment. Based on a key associated with an identified inconsistency, a provisioning system can query a lookup database to determine which segment is associated with the key. The provisioning system can perform operations to automatically resolve the inconsistency within the segment based on whether the lookup database indicates that the segment is or is not associated with the key.
