Abstract: A device may include a processor configured to establish a data traffic flow for a user equipment (UE) device and determine per flow descriptor attributes associated with the data traffic flow, wherein the per flow descriptor attributes identify at least a source, a destination, and a protocol associated with the data traffic flow. The processor may be further configured to determine at least one additional per flow descriptor attribute for the data traffic flow and send the per flow descriptor attributes and the at least one additional per flow descriptor attribute to a network exposure device of a core network, wherein the network exposure device is configured to communicate with servers outside the core network.

Abstract: Provided is a circuit for preventing local area network packets shorter than a predetermined bit length from being received by a local area network coprocessor. Serial data which would otherwise be received by the coprocessor is delayed by a data-shift register of predetermined bit length. Simultaneously, a carrier-sense-signal, which alerts the coprocessor that serial data is ready to be received, is modified by a carrier-sense-signal regeneration circuit. If the carrier-sense-signal is detected true by the regeneration circuit for a number of clock cycles equal to the number of bits in the data-shift register, then the carrier-sense-signal is delivered to the coprocessor and the data in the data-shift register is received by the coprocessor. Once the carrier-sense signal goes false, the regeneration circuit continues to deliver the carrier-sense-signal until the data-shift register empties.
