Abstract: A virtual network provider system supports a virtual network including virtual machines that are each assigned to an underlay address of an underlay addressing scheme. The virtual network provider system further includes multiple routing domains each defined to include a different subset of the virtual machines. Each of the routing domains is assigned to a range of overlay addresses of an overlay addressing scheme. For each routing domain, the assigned range of overlay addresses is allocated among the subset of the virtual machines in the routing domain. The system further includes a virtual network host configured to use addresses of the overlay addressing scheme to selectively route messages between endpoints on select pairs of the virtual machines assigned to a same routing domain of the plurality of routing domains.

Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining and building an autonomous vehicle-related event blockchain are provided. One or more processors may receive indications of autonomous vehicle events. The autonomous vehicle events may include information relating to technology usage and/or operational events. The autonomous vehicle events may be compiled into a log of recorded autonomous vehicle events. Based upon the autonomous vehicle events, an action to implement may be determined. Additionally, the log may be distributed to a public or private network of distributed nodes to form a consensus on an update to the log of record autonomous vehicle events. As a result, the distributed nodes may maintain an up-to-date record of the shared ledger of autonomous vehicle events.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a policy refiner application used to analyze and recommend modifications to identity and access management policies created by users of a cloud provider network (e.g., to move the policies toward least-privilege permissions). A policy refiner application receives as input a policy to analyze, and a log of events related to activity associated with one or more accounts of a cloud provider network. The policy refiner application can identify, from the log of events, actions that were permitted based on particular statements contained in the policy. Based on field values contained in the corresponding events, the policy refiner application generates an abstraction of the field values, where the abstraction of the field values may represent a more restrictive version of the field from a policy perspective. These abstractions can be presented to users as recommendations for modifying their policy to reduce the privileges granted by the policy.

Abstract: A first error is determined between a bandgap reference output voltage of a bandgap reference circuit at a first temperature and a target voltage. A second temperature of the bandgap reference circuit is measured. A bandgap reference output voltage of the bandgap reference circuit is predicted at the second temperature and based on the first error. A second error is determined between the bandgap reference output voltage and the target voltage. A trim parameter of the bandgap reference circuit is determined based on the second error. The bandgap reference circuit is set with the trim parameter, where a third error between a bandgap reference output voltage of the bandgap reference with the trim parameter is less than the second error.

Abstract: Systems and methods are for configuring a periodic uplink (UL) resource on a first carrier of a user equipment (UE); transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) on the first carrier using the configured UL resource, the buffer status report indicating a request for transmission resources on a second carrier; receiving an UL grant for data transmission on the second carrier, the UL grant indicating transmission resources on the second carrier; and transmitting a user data packet on the second carrier using the transmission resources indicated in the UL grant.

Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts. An enforcement server may receive indications of transactions and/or events generated by one or more autonomous vehicles. The transactions and/or events may include information relating to a trigger condition and/or a decision condition associated with one or more smart contracts. The enforcement server may route the transaction to the appropriate smart contract to determine whether a trigger condition has been satisfied. When a trigger condition is satisfied, the enforcement server may automatically perform an action to enforce the smart contract and/or update the distributed ledger.

Abstract: A processor determines that a UE operates in a DRX cycle including a DRX-on duration followed by a DRX-sleep duration. The processor configures a plurality of periodic uplink CG occasions within the DRX cycle. Each uplink CG occasion supports uplink transmission of a predefined size. The processor reads a data buffer to determine a size of accumulated data. At a given uplink CG occasion, the processor compares the size of accumulated data with an upper threshold data size and a lower threshold data size. Responsive to a first comparison result, the processor transmits the accumulated data over one or more uplink CG occasions starting from the given uplink CG occasion. Responsive to a second comparison result, the processor transmits a BSR at the given uplink CG occasion. Responsive to a third comparison result, the processor transmits neither the accumulated data nor the BSR at the given uplink CG occasion.

Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts are provided. One or more processors may monitor one or more sensors associated with an autonomous vehicle. Based upon the outputs of the sensors, a change in condition of the autonomous vehicle may be detected. The condition may relate to operation, or an operational state of the vehicle and/or a condition associated with a smart contract. The processors may generate a transaction describing the detected change in the condition of the vehicle. The transaction may be transmitted to an enforcement server. As a result, an up-to-date ledger of autonomous vehicle and/or smart contract transactions and/or events may be maintained.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and automated processes for user equipment (UE) to access network slices at cell sites. An example process includes receiving a registration request from the UE. The registration request includes a list of network slices for access at network cells within range of the UE. The UE is authenticated to the network to identify subscription information of the UE. A list of slice identifications (IDs) available to the UE is transmitted to the UE. A slice-specific authentication of the UE is initiated for a slice identified as available based on the subscription information. The UE is allowed to access the slice in response to the slice-specific authentication.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and automated processes are provided with selective access to multiple available slices of a network from at least one cell by a user equipment (UE) to enable reductions in slice failure access to the network. The method includes: accessing at a first cell, by the UE, slice A of the network wherein slice A provides higher bandwidth and lower latency access than slice B; and accessing at a second cell, by the UE, both slice A and slice B of the network wherein slice B have greater access availability than slice A wherein if the UE attempts to access the first or second cell then via cell reselection of the UE making a determination to select the second cell if the user is authorized for use of a premium service for the higher bandwidth and lower latency access of slice A else selecting by the UE the first cell for network access of slice B.
