Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for optimizing power consumption of Massive-Internet of Things (IoT) devices comprising a plurality of IoT devices. According to some examples, a power optimizer system may obtain one or more operational parameters of a plurality of IoT devices. The power optimizer system may estimate a Power Cost Function (PCF) based on one or more operational parameters to determine power consumption of each IoT device. The power optimizer system may determine a variation in the PCF of one or more IoT devices out of the plurality of IoT devices due to variations in uplink and downlink operations of each IoT device. The power optimizer system may identify one or more optimal operational parameters and then, configure the one or more IoT devices of the plurality of IoT devices with the one or more optimal operational parameters.

Abstract: A technique includes, in response to an electronic device attaching to a telephony network, selecting a telephony number from a plurality of available telephony numbers to assign to the electronic device for a given session in which the electronic device is attached to the telephony network and provisioning the telephony network based at least in part on the assigned telephony number.

Abstract: A round robin assignment based communication system may include a dynamic subscriber identification module (SIM) provisioning module to obtain and selectively assign a phone number to a device from a predetermined number of devices based on a round robin assignment technique to allow each device to communicate upon assignment of the phone number. A machine-to-machine (M2M) application module may determine priority of the phone number assignment to the devices.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided apparatus, in a communication network, for processing a request to initiate a communication using a first communication system, the request including information relating to one or more parties with which the communication is intended to be initiated, comprising: processing logic for determining whether the request includes information relating to a predetermined party, and where it is so determined, initiating a service in accordance with the information relating to the predetermined party.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, in a communication system having a plurality of communication devices each having a first and second identifier associated therewith at the time of a connection attempt to the network, of identifying when one of the identifiers has been cloned, the connection status of the first identifier being obtainable from a network element, comprising receiving the first and second identifiers of a communication device, determining whether one of the identifiers has been cloned, the determination being made in part through information obtained from a connection history database, and in part through information obtained from the network element.
