  • Patent number: 11831679
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for detecting signals interfering with satellite signaling and determining a location of the interfering source are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method for detecting a signal directed at interfering with satellite signaling includes receiving, by a receiving node, a signal from a signal source, the signal produced by the signal source disguised as a satellite signal; determining an estimated position of the receiving node based on an orbital position of the satellite and a characteristic of the signal; comparing the estimated position of the receiving node with a reference position of the receiving node; determining that the signal source is a spoofing source different than the satellite; and determine a location of the spoofing source in part based on the estimated position.

  • Patent number: 11528593
    Abstract: In a 4G LTE wireless carrier network, network slice instances are instantiated that are configured to provide a configured set of services that are accessible to a controlled set of user devices. A service profile for a user device is identified and analyzed. When the service profile matches a configured set of services for one of the instantiated network slice instances, the user device is enabled to access the matching instantiated network instance. The provisioning of the network slice instances is performed by a dedicated node.

  • Patent number: 11490322
    Abstract: A network provider implements network slicing. Network instances are instantiated on a communication network that are configured to provide a configured set of services that are accessible to a controlled set of devices. When a first device is either registered or authenticated with the communication network or has entered a service area, a service profile is identified and analyzed. In response to determining that the service profile matches a configured set of services for one of the instantiated network instances, the first device is enabled to access the matching instantiated network instance.

  • Publication number: 20210297857
    Abstract: A network provider implements network slicing. Each network slice instance is configured to provide a configured set of services that are associated with controlled access to a set of user devices. An access profile for a first user device is identified and analyzed. In response to determining that the access profile matches security capabilities of a configured set of services for one of the instantiated network instances, the first user device is enabled to securely access the matching instantiated network instance.

  • Patent number: 10298623
    Abstract: Techniques pertaining to seamless WebRTC support on mobile appliances are described. In one aspect, a method includes one or more processors of one or more gateway servers receiving from a browser-based application executed by a mobile device a request for access to multimedia provided by a multimedia access platform. The method also includes the one or more processors retrieving information related to a profile associated with a user of the mobile device from an identity and access management server. The method further includes the one or more processors enabling the browser-based application to receive from the multimedia access platform one or more types of multimedia based at least in part on the profile associated with the user of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9986045
    Abstract: During voice communication between multiple telecommunications devices, a shareable application facilitates concurrent sharing of data and processes between the devices. The application may be configured to monitor the voice communication and execute a predetermined function upon detecting a predetermined condition in the voice communication. The application may further facilitate sharing of functionality and user interface displays during the voice communication. In some implementations, a server computing device on a communications network may facilitate functions of shareable applications on one or more telecommunications devices.
