  • Patent number: 12114255
    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) receives wireless network services from a first wireless network slice and a second wireless network slice over a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) link. A Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) client authenticates with a 3GPP network over the non-3GPP link and establishes a first N1 signaling link for the first wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP client authenticates with the 3GPP network over the non-3GPP link and establishes a second N1 signaling link for the second wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The first user application exchanges data with the first wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The second user application exchanges data with the second wireless network slice over the non-3GPP link. The 3GPP client maintains both N1 signaling links when both user applications are exchanging their data with the wireless network slices over the non-3GPP link.

  • Patent number: 12113683
    Abstract: Immutable archiving of remote controlled user equipment telemetry-command (TC) data for wireless communications networks systems and applications is provided. In some embodiments, one or more applications executing on the UE report selected TC data to a TC data archiving function. TC data is both captured and preserved by the TC data archiving function in a manner that establishes sufficient integrity for the data for the purpose of establishing an immutable record comprising at least the operating state of a remote operated UE, and commands that a controller UE was sending to the remote operated UE. Determining the TC data selected for archiving may be based on an inflection criteria. In some embodiments, a session block sequence is generated using a distributed application (DApp), and TC data is reported to the TC data archiving function using the session block sequence.

  • Patent number: 12075245
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless access node receives an encrypted slice certificate from a wireless user device and transfers the encrypted slice certificate to a network control-plane. The network control-plane decrypts the encrypted slice certificate and determines a correspondence between expected characteristics and the slice characteristics from the decrypted slice certificate. The network control-plane authorizes the wireless user device for the wireless network slice based on the correspondence. In response to the authorization, the network control-plane transfers user context for the wireless network slice to the wireless access node and a network user-plane. The wireless access node exchanges user data between the wireless user device and the network user-plane per the user context. The network user-plane exchanges the user data between the wireless access node and a data system per the user context.

  • Publication number: 20240283825
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein to identify and deploy policy changes from a policy source in a wireless communication network to enforcement points in the network based on trends identified by the policy source in KPIs reported by the enforcement points. In an implementation, enforcement points in the network report KPIs to the policy source. The KPIs are related to authorization attempts made by user equipment in the network. The policy source, upon receiving the KPIs, identifies a trend in the KPIs and identifies a policy change based on the KPIs. The policy source then deploys the policy change to the enforcement points. In various implementations, the policy source is a Policy Decision Point (PDP), and the enforcement points are Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs).
