  • Publication number: 20220303349
    Abstract: A multi-access edge computing device may receive historical content data associated with a content application of a user equipment and may process the historical content data, with a machine learning model, to identify content to cache for the user equipment. The multi-access edge computing device may provide, to a content provider device, a request for the content to cache and may receive, from the content provider device, the content to cache based on the request for the content to cache. The multi-access edge computing device may process the content to cache, with a document object model and a browser object model, to generate intermediary content that corresponds to the content to cache. The multi-access edge computing device may store the intermediary content in a data structure associated with the multi-access edge computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220295380
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein employ an allocation and retention priority for user equipment (UE), referred to as a UE ARP. The UE ARP may be defined per network slice, such that a subscriber can have different priority in different slices. According to one implementation, a network device receives, from a UE device, a registration request requesting access to a network slice and obtains a UE ARP. The UE ARP associates the UE device with a priority level on the network slice. When the network device determines that a maximum number of terminals are using the network slice, it applies the priority level in the UE ARP to grant or deny the UE device access to the network slice.

  • Patent number: 11431585
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network allocation service is provided. The network allocation service may use available network resource information of an application service layer network of a first type, such as a multi-access edge computing network, and application service demand information of an application to determine whether a performance metric of the application service would be satisfied. The performance metric may include a threshold service time that includes a processing time associated with a processing of an application service request and response, by the application service layer network, and a transit time associated the application service response from the application service layer network to an end device. The network allocation service may select the first type or a second type of application service layer network depending on the outcome of the determination.

  • Patent number: 11337064
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for enhanced authentication techniques that leverage network-based location determination of UEs, such as mobile telephones or other devices that communicate with a wireless network. For example, a wireless network may monitor, determine, or otherwise maintain information regarding the geographic location of User Equipment (“UEs”) that are associated with the wireless network. Some embodiments may utilize such network-monitored location information to verify that a participant device, associated with a given UE, is located within a particular proximity of the UE when performing an authentication process to receive services or resources.
