Abstract: Systems and methods discussed herein are directed to monitoring and/or adjusting levels of ambient radio frequency (RF) signals within a wireless communication network. A geographic region is monitored for ambient radio frequency signal levels. The monitoring may be performed by a device configured for operation in the wireless communication network. For example, one or more of a UE, a base station, an IoT device, etc., may be configured with a sensor for sensing ambient RF signal levels. When it is determined that a measured amount of ambient radio frequency signal level exceeds a predetermined threshold, an operator of the wireless communication network may then provide an alert to at least one user of the wireless communication network.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques that facilitate the encryption of data communications between a home and VPLMN, along with the verification of a content and origin of encrypted messages at each end of a data communication. In one non-limiting example, the process of verifying the content and origin of an encrypted message is facilitated partly by an exchange of network public keys between the HPLMN and VPLMNs. In another example, a network certificate aggregator (NCA) may act as a certificate authority (CA) by verifying the identities of interacting home and VPLMNs. The NCA may facilitate and exchange public keys between a home and VPLMN, whereby the HPLMN and VPLMNs need only trust and verify an identity of the NCA. Alternatively, the NCA may act as a conduit for data communications between the HPLMN and VPLMN.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving, by a shim application of a user equipment (UE), an outbound communication from a first application destined for an external device, prior to transmitting the outbound communication to the external device, determining, by the shim application, whether to forward the outbound communication to the external device, via a radio interface of the UE, based on a first policy, receiving, by the shim application, an inbound communication destined for a second application from the external device, via the radio interface, determining, by the shim application, whether to forward the inbound communication to the second application based on a second policy, receiving, by the shim application, an inter-enclave communication from the first application destined for the second application, and determining, by the shim application, whether to forward the inter-enclave communication to the second application based on the second policy.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for secure and configurable control of user equipment (UE) devices associated with enterprise accounts are disclosed herein. Each enterprise account is associated with a plurality of UE devices, which may access networked assets associated with the enterprise. In order to manage UE device access to enterprise assets and to other networks via an internet connection through a wireless telecommunications network, data associated with different enterprise accounts is virtually separated at the edge routers and maintained as separate data streams to distinct virtual environments associated with the enterprise accounts at one or more asset hosting servers. The virtual environments on the assets hosting servers further facilitate enterprise-specific control of mobile assets, such as enforcing security policies relating to access, connections, filtering, or encryption.

Abstract: Buffering streaming content includes accessing prior device location data of a device and predicting a future sector that the device will travel through based at least in part on the prior device location data. A predicted quality of service of wireless communications is determined and a streaming buffer is adjusted based at least in part on the predicted quality of service and a caching policy set in accordance with key variables related to network conditions in the future sector.

Abstract: A request from a user device to register as a secure endpoint device of a secure local area network (LAN) is received by a wireless carrier network. A device type of the user device is identified by the network based on device identification information provided by the user device. A data protection policy that corresponds to the device type of the user device is sent to a secure endpoint application on the user device following a registration of the user device as a secure endpoint device by the network, in which the data protection policy includes an Access Point Name (APN). The user device allocated a network slice of the wireless carrier network that corresponds to the APN to the user device. Subsequently, a data file is transported from the user device to an additional secure endpoint device via the network slice that is allocated to the user device.

Abstract: In a network such as the Internet, communications between Autonomous Systems (ASes) in the network can be routed along different communication pathways. Falsely advertised ownership of an IP prefix or address by an AS can be detected by a receiving AS that receives advertisements and then checks advertised IP prefix ownership against an IP prefix registry blockchain ledger to verify whether the advertised prefix ownership is correct.
