  • Patent number: 11736349
    Abstract: A device associated with a network may provide a subscription request that requests data associated with the network and user equipment connected to the network. The device may receive, based on the subscription request, network congestion data associated with the network, reachability data associated with the user equipment, and location data associated with the user equipment. The device may determine a group of the user equipment based on the network congestion data, the reachability data, and the location data. The device may determine timing for providing firmware to the group based on capabilities of the user equipment in the group. The device may provide segments of the firmware to the network to cause the network to provide the segments of the firmware to the group based on the timing for providing the firmware to the group.

  • Patent number: 11503459
    Abstract: A device obtains a data structure from a computing device, and divides the data structure into data segments. The device obtains a list of user devices from the computing device and obtains, from one or more network devices, a respective location and a respective reachability of each user device. The device determines, based on the respective location of each user device, a set of user devices connected to a base station. The device determines a communication capability of the base station, and determines, based on the communication capability, a subset of the set of user devices and one or more sets of the data segments. The device sends, based on the respective reachability of each user device of the subset of user devices, the one or more sets of data segments to the subset of user devices via the base station.

  • Patent number: 10880829
    Abstract: Systems provide for provisioning, in a wireless network, in a network-service profile associated with a network-service subscriber, at least one of a power saving mode (PSM) parameter or an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) parameter for use by a first user device; receiving a network service-related request from the first user device via an administrative non-IP packet data network (PDN) bearer established using a statically-allocated non-IP administrative access point name (APN); sending, via the PDN bearer, a first mobile terminated trigger delivery request (MT-TDR) including a bootstrap request trigger, generated by the network device, to the first user device; receiving, via the PDN bearer in response to the bootstrap request trigger, a first mobile originated originating delivery request (MO-ODR) bootstrap request; and sending, in response to the bootstrap request, a second MT-TDR including the at least one of the PSM parameter or the eDRX parameter.

  • Patent number: 10820231
    Abstract: A mobility management node in a wireless network receives message data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The mobility management node obtains a non-Internet Protocol (IP) Access Point Name (APN) associated with the message data, and extracts Class of Service (CoS) and/or Quality of Service (QoS) indicators embedded in the non-IP APN. The mobility management node queues and prioritizes the message data, among other message data, based on the extracted CoS and QoS indicators. The mobility management node dequeues and forwards the message data, among the other message data, from the mobility management node to a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) node based on the extracted CoS and QoS indicators.
