Abstract: An architecture to allow Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) billing and charge tracking, is disclosed. In an example, a tracking process, such as is performed by an edge computing apparatus, includes: receiving a computational processing request for a service operated with computing resources of the edge computing apparatus from a connected edge device within the first access network, wherein the computational processing request includes an identification of the connected edge device; identifying a processing device, within the first access network, for performing the computational processing request; and storing the identification of the connected edge device, a processing device identification, and data describing the computational processes completed by the processing device in association with the computational processing request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a secure application computing environment in a federated Edge Cloud are disclosed herein. Application information corresponding to an application from an application provider may be received in a secure environment of a device such as an edge computing node. A trust level for execution of the application may be associated based at least in part on the application information, and based on the associated trust level, a trusted platform may be selected to deploy or launch the application.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for enhancing a distributed computing environment with multiple edge hosts and user devices, including in multi-access edge computing (MEC) network platforms and settings, are described herein. A device of a lifecycle management (LCM) proxy apparatus obtains a request, from a device application, for an application multiple context of an application. The application multiple context for the application is determined. The request from the device application for the application multiple context for the application is authorized. A device application identifier based on the request is added to the application multiple context. A created response for the device application based on the authorization of the request is transmitted to the device application. The response includes an identifier of the application multiple context.

Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating in a wireless network include determining an average size (M) of packets allocated for a particular subscriber station in an air frame, and adjusting a size of packets for that particular subscriber station to be packed into one or more subsequent air frames to be substantially equal to size M. The method may further include arranging incoming data segments and fragmenting one or more of the incoming data segments into the packets of approximately size M. In one implementation, the incoming data segments may be media access controller (MAC) service data units (SDUs) and the packets may be MAC protocol data units (PDUs). Various specific embodiments and variations are also disclosed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention may use the state of the output of a light sensor to permit transmission of an identification code from an activated radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Alternately, the state of the output of the light sensor may be used to select one of multiple identification codes for transmission from the activated RFID tag.

Abstract: Cooperative scheduling of master and slave base station transmissions is disclosed. Silent and deaf intervals are scheduled in a frame format of a first network to allow transmissions to occur in a second network without interference.

Abstract: A call processing system is disclosed wherein plural platforms are populated with plural voice boards. Each board on the different platforms is populated with different resources, and resources may be allocated from any board and any platform to process calls. In a preferred implementation, a priority system is established so that co-located resources are preferred.

Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating in a wireless network using time division duplex (TDD) protocols.
