Abstract: Systems and methods for ambient noise mitigation as a network service are provided. In some embodiments, an ambient noise mitigation server establishes at least one low latency network slice for at least one UE coupled to a radio access network. The ambient noise mitigation server generates a cancelation signal based on ambient sound mitigation data received by the radio access network, the ambient sound mitigation data including acoustic sensor data representing an ambient sound signal. The cancelation signal is generated to comprise a phase shift with respect to the ambient sound signal computed at least in part as a function of a location of the at least one UE, and causes at least one acoustic emitter to emit an acoustic cancelation signal based on the cancelation signal. In some embodiments, the phase shift may be adjusted by controlling a latency characteristic of the low latency network slice.

Abstract: A wireless communication system delivers a wireless data service to a wireless communication device using content-addressing. The wireless communication system generates a content-address from a data set. The wireless communication system stores the content-address in association with the data set. The wireless communication system encrypts the content-address with a system key and transfers the encrypted content-address to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device decrypts the encrypted content-address with a user key to obtain the content address. The wireless communication device re-encrypts the content-address with the user key. The wireless communication system receives the re-encrypted content-address from the wireless communication device and decrypts the re-encrypted content-address with the system key to obtain the content-address. The wireless communication system retrieves the data set from the memory circuitry with the decrypted content-address.

Abstract: A data communication network connects a user application in a wireless User Equipment (UE) to a user application server. An edge application server exchanges user data between the user application in a wireless UE and a wireless network slice. The wireless network slice exchanges the user data between the edge application server and the user application server. The data communication network determines a trust level for the exchange of the user data between the user application in the wireless UE and the user application server. In some examples, a distributed ledger in the data communication network determines the trust level for the exchange of the user data between the user application in the wireless UE and the user application server.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying the true identity of senders of messages, for example based on hardware identifiers and other information, such as timestamps and/or register-transfer level licenses. In some cases, a hyper ledger contains an identifier and a timestamp, such as a timestamp associated with a request to send a message. Embodiments can be used to authorize transmission of messages, such as SMS or RCS messages, and to provide an archive or message information. In some cases, messages from certain domains can be aggregated for routing.

Abstract: A wireless communication system attests to user data from a wireless user device. The wireless user device receives satellite signals from satellites and determines satellite signal metrics for the satellite signals. The wireless user device determines its geographic location based on the satellite signals. The wireless user device executes an operating system in trusted processing circuitry in response to device power-up. The wireless user device executes a network application in the trusted processing circuitry. The network application transfers the user data, geographic location, and signal metrics to network elements. The network elements determine known satellite metrics for the geographic location. The network elements compare the satellite signal metrics to the known satellite metrics and generate an attestation score for the user data based on the satellite comparison. The network elements store the user data, the geographic location, and the attestation score.

Abstract: In various embodiments, systems and methods for quantum-based network traffic anomaly detection are disclosed. Embodiments for a network integrity monitor are disclosed that leverage a quantum computing-based network assessment function to evaluate network event data for the purposes of identifying and/or predicting anomalies indicative of network threats. To identify network anomalies, the network assessment function may treat the anomaly identification as a quantum search task by searching the task data using an amplitude amplification quantum search algorithm and/or using quantum machine learning models to infer a threat prediction that may include a single or multiclass classification characterizing the task data. Such classification(s) may be further assessed by the network integrity monitor as the basis to trigger one or more mitigating steps.

Abstract: In various embodiments, systems and methods for ledger-based cookie management are provided. Rather than store cookie data as text files on the local device drive, cookie data is recorded to a blockchain technology cookie ledger store on a network resource. When a client application (e.g., a browser) on the UE is directed to a cloud-based service, and that cloud-based service calls for access to a cookie, that call is processed by a cookie gateway executing on the UE. The cookie gateway may verify authenticity of the user and generate a cookie access token that it transmits to the cloud-based service. The cloud-based service may use the cookie access token to locate the cookie ledger and access one or more records storing cookie data used by the cloud-based service. The cookie access token may expire upon termination of the session between the user equipment and the cloud-based service.

Abstract: In various embodiments, ledger-based telecommunications network event archiving for trusted model non-3GPP devices and systems are provided. Trusted model non-3GPP devices can access network functions and services to utilize a ledger-based event recordation service. Through the recordation service, network events associated with trusted model non-3GPP UE device usage of network functions and services may be recorded to an event ledger.

In some embodiments, to function as a trusted model device, a non-3GPP device is configured with a 3GPP compatible universal connectivity stack (UCS).

Abstract: In various embodiments, systems and methods for a trust architecture for telecommunication network slice security are disclosed. In some embodiments a trust architecture for telecommunication network slice security distributes network security functionality to individual network entities that constitute elements of a network slice instance. Slice network functions each individually implement components of the trust architecture for the network slice using a policy enforcement point (PEP) and a policy decision point (PDP). Each slice network function thus validates the authenticity and authorized privileges associated with the subject entity seeking a service from that slice network function, and grants or denies such service requests based on a policy implemented by the PEP and PDP.

Abstract: A system can correct or avoid an unexpected result caused by executing a smart contract. The system can detect a potential/actual result generated based on a primary smart contract, which is stored in association with a block of a blockchain and is configured to execute when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The system can determine that the potential/actual result deviates from an expected result and, in response, retrieve a secondary smart contract from a repository. The secondary smart contract is selected to prevent the unexpected result in the future. The system can store the secondary smart contract retrieved from the repository in association with a subsequent block of the blockchain. The primary smart contract and the secondary smart contract are then configured to execute in concert when the predetermined condition is satisfied such that the expected result is produced instead of the unexpected result.
