Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system receives an alert for delivery to user equipment devices (UEs) communicating on a network. The system determines a type of the alert and a coverage area for the alert; identifies UEs in the coverage area for delivery of the alert; and determines, for each of the UEs, a priority level for the alert, and selects, for each of the UEs, a delivery profile for delivering the alert; the delivery profile is based on the type of the alert and comprises the priority level, and specifies a manner of presenting the alert at the UE, based on the priority level. The system then delivers the alert to each of the plurality of target UEs respectively in accordance with the delivery profile. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to using dynamically layered beamformed control signals in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, identifying a group of different directions radiating from beamforming antenna equipment of base station equipment. The method can further include facilitating transmitting a first beamformed signal according to a first direction of the group of different directions. Further, the method can include facilitating transmitting a second beamformed signal according to a second direction of the group of different directions, with the second direction being selected based on a sequence of directions, and where transmitting beamformed signals to the group of different directions is based on the sequence of directions can facilitate establishment of wireless coverage for a corresponding geographic area.

Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein provide a network-assisted secure access (“NASA”) application that is installed on a user device. The NASA application can enhance current multi-factor authentication processes to prevent unauthorized access by leveraging mobile connectivity data. The enhanced two-factor authentication process is made seamless and transparent to the user by authenticating the mobile connectivity data with data known to the mobile network that serves the user device. The mobile connectivity data can include network-determined location, cell identifier (“cell ID”), Internet protocol (“IP”) address, a globally unique temporary identifier (“GUTI”), combinations thereof, and the like. Additionally or alternatively, one or more user profiles (e.g., user-defined and/or social media profile(s)) can be used to further enhance security.

Abstract: Establishing and refining beams in MIMO sessions can include detecting establishment of a communication session between a cell site and a user equipment. The communication session can be conducted using a multi-input multi-output beam that can be supported by a first portion of an antenna array, the first portion including two or more antenna array elements of the antenna array. Device data that relates to the user equipment can be obtained, where the device data can include movement data that can describe a movement of the user equipment. A beamforming command can be generated to include instructions that, when implemented by an entity associated with the cell site, can cause the cell site to refine the multi-input multi-output beam based on the device data. A refined multi-input multi-output beam can be supported by a second portion of the antenna array. The beamforming command can be provided to the cell site.
