  • Publication number: 20230239210
    Abstract: A device in an evolved packet core (EPC) which includes a processor and a memory. The processor effectuates operations including receiving from one or more devices residing within a customer premise equipment (CPE) portion of a telecommunications network, sensor data associated with one or more customers and in response to receiving the sensor data, generating a data request for an ecosystem status for the CPE portion of the telecommunications network. The processor further effectuates operations including obtaining customer information for the one or more customers and creating an analytics environment, using the customer information, for the one or more customers. The processor further effectuates operations including performing, within the analytics environment, analytics on the sensor data to determine a state of the CPE portion of the telecommunications network for the one or more customers and in response to performing analytics on the sensor data, optimizing the telecommunications network.

  • Publication number: 20220417174
    Abstract: Management of immersive reality devices via a reduced competition core network component is disclosed. The reduced competition core network component can preferentially be reserved for immersive reality device data and can therefore exclude some or all other types of data typically associated with conventional wireless network devices, e.g., phone, tablet/laptop computers, IoT devices, etc. This can result in immersive reality data communication that does not have to compete with more generic data types for network or computing resources. Additionally, the reduced competition core network component can be divided into at least one reduced competition user-plane network component and at least one reduced competition control-plane network component. Use of a reduced competition user-plane network component can avoid generating additional carrier network traffic. Further, a reduced competition user-plane network component can facilitate non-carrier entity authentication, security protocols, etc.

  • Patent number: 11422845
    Abstract: A cloud traffic migration system may be used to counter suspected harmful traffic. For example, a virtual machine (VM) may have a separate security and networking policy called a VM shell. The VM shell may be placed at the VM's interface as a layer of protection. When suspected harmful traffic is detected inside the VM, multiple mini VMs may be created that replicate some functions of the infected VM and the traffic may be grouped and segregated into categories. Each category of traffic may be routed to a mini VM for further analysis. Any traffic confirmed to be harmful may be kept inside the mini VM and subject to restrictive rules. Such restrictive rules may introduce delays to waste the attackers time or resources as well as obtain data for threat analytics.

  • Patent number: 10609180
    Abstract: A method includes exchanging metadata with a network customer during a first provision of a first service to the network customer. The method also includes receiving a request for a second service from the network customer and determining a quality-of-service requirement based on the metadata and a provider of at least one of the first service or the second service. The method also includes adjusting a network resource based on the quality-of-service requirement. The network resource facilitates a second provision of the second service to the network customer.
