Abstract: Presented herein are techniques associated with replicating an OpenRoaming™ policy federation in a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network environment. For example, techniques herein provide a roaming policy federation architecture for a 3GPP network environment.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to providing enhanced capacity for tenants in a neutral host network (NHN) via multi-connectivity such as dual connectivity or carrier aggregation. The present technology can identify, at a small cell gateway, signaling traffic passing from an access network to a respective core network of an NHN operating at mid-band frequencies and add an interface between the small cell gateway of the NHN and a base station of a tenant network operating at low-band frequencies to establish dual connectivity. Furthermore, the present technology can establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection in a primary cell residing in a macro network operating at low-band frequencies and add, at a fronthaul gateway, one or more secondary cells in a small cell network operating at mid-band frequencies to enable carrier aggregation of the one or more secondary cells with the primary cell the small cell network.

Abstract: A cuvette for collecting a blood sample, the cuvette comprising: a main body; a collection aperture formed within the main body; an ingress aperture, allowing communication between a first end of the collection aperture and an exterior of the cuvette; and a retention chamber formed within the main body and adjacent a second end of the collection chamber, which is generally opposite the first end thereof, wherein: the collection chamber has a first depth, which is the same or substantially the same across the collection chamber, from the first end to the second end thereof; and the retention chamber has a second, greater depth.

Abstract: A coiled tubing heating head tool system includes a tool connected at a connector to a terminal end of coiled tubing, the tool having a tubular extending from the connector to a heating head having a heater, a fluid passage extending from a discharge port in the tubular through the connector into the coiled tubing, and a one-way valve in the fluid passage between the discharge port and the connector, and a power cable electrically coupled to the heater and extending through the tubular, the connector, and the coiled tubing, to an electrical power source.

Abstract: The invention is that of a system and method of generating an individual compliance score based on one or more background checks that is useful in determining the compliance levels of service providers based on selected criteria. The individual compliance scores are the result of a matrix comparison of a background check score against industry standards to provide greater weight to areas of specific interest depending on the industry. An application program interface may be installed on a user system to allow individual compliance scores and corresponding unique identifiers to be visible to users of the system. Access and security controls are provided, with users being in network communication with the system. The methods enabled by the system allow for rapid real-time service provider qualification without the need for time consuming background audits. A system of the present invention may be presented as a feature of an existing mobile application.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for providing access to wireless networks may include receiving, by a wireless network access provider from a user device, a request to access a wireless network. The method may include obtaining data representing a policy applicable to the access request, sending the access request, augmented with the policy, to an identity provider associated with the user and having no pre-existing relationship with the access provider, and receiving, from the identity provider, an access request response indicating whether or not the policy is met. The method may include communicating, to the wireless device, an indication that the access request has been accepted, if the policy is met, or an indication that the access request has been rejected, if the policy is not met. The access provider and identity provider may be members of an identity and access federation that communicate over a dynamically established secure connection.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for facilitating bi-directional edge proxy-to-edge proxy communications across an enterprise firewall in 5G service-based architecture. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a subscription request from a user device to operate on a visited private network; determining that the user device is associated with a home network; and establishing a communication protocol between a security edge protection proxy of the visited private network and a security edge protection proxy of the home network, wherein the communication protocol enables bi-directional exchange of roaming signals between the visited private network and the home network while user device is operating on the visited private network.
