Abstract: Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to monitoring and/or adjusting levels of ambient radio frequency (RF) signals within a wireless communication network. A geographic region is monitored for ambient radio frequency signal levels. The monitoring may be performed by a device configured for operation in the wireless communication network. For example, one or more of a UE, a base station, an IoT device, etc., may be configured with a sensor for sensing ambient RF signal levels. When it is determined that a measured amount of ambient radio frequency signal level exceeds a predetermined threshold, an operator of the wireless communication network may then provide an alert to at least one user of the wireless communication network.

Abstract: A user device implements a certificate authority for issuing digital certificates that extend to other computing devices a level of trust to a particular user paired with the user device. The user device may obtain user persona information, generate a user key, and combine the user key with a device key for the generation of a digital certificate. The computing device may further transmit the digital certificate to a certificate management system, which manages interactions between other computing devices and the user device or authorizes operation of other computing devices by the particular user based on the digital certificate.

Abstract: Updated radio protocol data may be propagated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution scheme so that peer devices that are incompatible with a particular radio protocol may be dynamically re-configured to communicate with other devices using the particular radio protocol. A remote server(s) may push updated radio protocol data to a hub device, which thereafter disseminates the radio protocol data to other peer devices. These peer devices can forward the data to downstream peer devices, and so on, without further intervention by the remote server(s) that initiated the distribution. The transfer of radio protocol data over P2P connections may occur using a broadcasting technique where, prior to the transfer, a device in possession of the radio protocol data broadcasts an indication to nearby peer devices, which can receive the broadcast and indicate to the broadcaster whether they are ready to receive the radio protocol data.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing a dynamic wireless communication network with a plurality of autonomous aerial vehicles, such as drones. The drones can dynamically change the size and availability of the communication network, and work with an existing communication network, such as cellular telecommunications or internet protocol networks. The drones can therefore create and maintain a robust network in response to a variety of needs, such as emergency response areas or large sporting events. Further, the drones can establish communication hotspots for mobile devices, and can alternately be configured to create a data pipeline.

Abstract: Systems and processes that may be implemented to manage access by software applications to various resources of a user telecommunications device are disclosed. The systems and processes may implement a trust policy which reflects privacy criteria selected by a user of the user telecommunications device, wherein the trust policy overrides registered permissions of the software applications. The user telecommunication device may include a memory that stores a software application has been granted registered permissions to access a input and/or output component of the user telecommunications device as well as a trust policy has been set by the user to proscribe access by that particular software application to the input and/or output component. In implementing the trust policy, the software application may be prevented from accessing the input and/or output component notwithstanding the software application having registered permissions to access the input and/or output component.

Abstract: A secure component of a telecommunication device is described herein. The secure component is configured to determine that a threshold amount of time has passed since reception of a heartbeat communication from a remote telecommunication server. In response to determining that the threshold amount of time has passed, the secure component performs at least one of preventing access to one or more services of the telecommunication device or deleting user data from the telecommunication device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing a user to control sharing of network bandwidth in a peer-to-peer environment are described herein. An example telecommunications device includes a user interface device, a processor and a memory device. The telecommunications device identifies one or more time parameters related to bandwidth sharing based on a first operation of the user interface device and identifies one or more bandwidth parameters related to bandwidth sharing based on a second operation of the user interface device. The telecommunications device allows one or more other devices access to one or more networks via one of the telecommunications device or a second device associated with the user, based at least on the identified one or more time parameters and the one or more bandwidth parameters.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for receiving an alert associated with an entity and dynamically determining, based on the alert and on substantially real-time attributes for the entity, a geographically dispersed group in which each member of the geographically dispersed group either is a device associated with the entity or shares at least one attribute with the entity. The techniques further include requesting information about the entity from the geographically dispersed group, receiving information from at least a subset of the group, and taking action responsive to the alert based on the received information.
