Abstract: A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UEs) over a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Network Exposure Function (NEF). The wireless communication network comprises a non-3GPP Interworking Function (IWF) and the 3GPP NEF. The non-3GPP IWF receives NEF Application Programming Interface (API) calls that have UE data from the UEs over non-3GPP access nodes. The non-3GPP IWF transfers the NEF API calls that have the UE data to the 3GPP NEF. The 3GPP NEF receives the NEF API calls that have the UE data from the non-3GPP IWF. The 3GPP NEF exposes the UE data to an Application Functions (AF) in response to the NEF API calls.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing high speed interactions with electromagnetic power harvesting (AEPH) chips are provided. In one embodiment, an AEPH initialization node emits a first electromagnetic field to charge the AEPH chip and/or initiate a boot-up sequence, and an AEPH interrogation node that transmits a second electromagnetic field to trigger processing operations within the AEPH chip. The first electromagnetic field and second electromagnetic fields are emitted respectively within an AEPH initialization zone and an AEPH interrogation zone that are offset from each other such that the first electromagnetic field emission in the AEPH initialization zone does not produce backscatter that interferes with the AEPH interrogation node receiving interrogation reply signals from the AEPH interrogation zone. Curtailing backscatter facilitates the ability to convey items with AEPH chips at faster line speeds so that a greater number of items per minute can be processed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for ambient electromagnetic power harvesting (AEPH) chip reader-writer devices are provided that selectively control RF parameters of electro-magnetic (EM) signals transmitted to an AEPH chip. In embodiments, the selection of which RF parameter configuration is applied when transmitting an EM signal is determined by an RF parameter selection processor based on the function being invoked from the AEPH chip. In one embodiment, an AEPH chip reader-writer selects a first configuration of radio frequency (RF) parameters from a plurality of RF parameters based on a determination of a first operation for execution by an ambient electromagnetic power harvesting chip; configures an RF transmit path circuit to use the first configuration of RF parameters; and initiates execution of the first operation in the ambient electromagnetic power harvesting chip by transmitting via the RF transmit path circuit a first electromagnetic signal using the first configuration of RF parameters.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network controller authenticates a wireless receiver and transfers receiver instructions and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for wireless network slices to the wireless receiver. An item wirelessly transmits a network identifier (ID) and a product ID. The wireless receiver wirelessly detects the network ID and the product ID from the item at a geographic location. The receiver selects an API for a wireless network slice based on the receiver instructions and the network ID. The receiver transfers an API call to the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice selects a distributed Application (dAPP) based on the network ID, the product ID, and/or the geographic location for the item. The wireless network slice transfers the network ID, the product ID, and the geographic location for the item to selected dAPP.

Abstract: A wireless communication system tracks an item that wirelessly transfers a Fifth Generation Identifier (5GID) and a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). Transceivers wirelessly detect the 5GID and the GTIN and transfer messages indicating the 5GID and the GTIN to a ledger gateway. The ledger gateway receives the messages and selects a distributed application in a distributed ledger node based on the 5GID and/or the GTIN. The ledger gateway proposes an item-tracking transaction with the 5GID and the GTIN to the selected distributed application in the distributed ledger node. The distributed ledger node and distributed application execute the proposed item-tracking transaction with the 5GID and the GTIN to generate an item-tracking result and store the item-tracking result in a blockchain format.

Abstract: A wireless communication network enforces a user policy for a User Equipment (UE) and directs another wireless communication network to enforce another user policy for another UE. In the wireless communication network, an Application Function (AF) receives the user policy from another AF in the other wireless communication network and transfers the user policy to the PCF. The PCF distributes the user policy to a Network Function (NF). The NF enforces the user policy. The PCF identifies the other user policy for the other UE and transfers the other user policy to the AF. The AF responsively transfers the other user policy to the other AF. The other AF transfers the other user policy to another PCF in the other wireless communication network. The other PCF distributes the other user policy to another NF in the other wireless communication network which enforces the other user policy.

Abstract: A wireless network control system facilitates a handover of User Equipment (UE) from a source network slice to a target network slice. The source slice delivers an internet-access service to the UE using a Quality-of-Service level and access restrictions. The UE detects a handover trigger and exchanges handover signaling with the source network slice. A hardware-trust controller verifies a hardware identification code embedded in the UE responsive to the handover signaling. A distributed ledger generates a slice template to implement the QoS and access restrictions for the UE in the target network slice in response to the handover signaling and the hardware-trust verification. The signaling circuitry transfers the slice template to the target slice. The target slice delivers internet-access service to the UE using the QoS and the restrictions in response to the slice template.

The index circuitry stores the usage abstraction and the reference DL ID in index DL blocks. The index circuitry receives requests having the reference DL ID and returns the usage abstraction. The reference circuitry receives requests having the reference DL ID and usage abstraction ID and returns the usage data.

Abstract: A multi-core data communication system serves a wireless relay from a relay core and serves User Equipment (UE) from a UE core. The relay core establishes a relay bearer between the relay and the relay core over a wireless base station. The relay receives a data request from the UE and transfers a UE data request to the UE core indicating a UE ID, a Relay ID, and a Relay Core ID. The UE core receives the UE data request and responsively transfers a core-to-core message indicating the Relay ID to the relay core. The relay core receives the core-to-core message and directs the base station to modify the relay bearer. The UE and the UE core exchange user data over a UE bearer that traverses the modified relay bearer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for separating P-S wave field data are described. Slowness values for the PP mode and the PS mode are estimated and are, typically, unequal based on aliased and/or irregularly sampled data. A calculation, in the space-time domain, based on a matrix of equations, generates separated P-wave and S-wave data. The separated P-wave data and S-wave data are output for further imaging.

Abstract: Device and method for processing 4-dimensional (4-D) seismic traces. The method includes receiving at least two vintages of seismic traces recorded by seismic receivers for a same subsurface area, wherein said seismic receivers are located at the ocean floor; applying up-down deconvolution to each of said vintages of seismic traces to obtain a representation of a reflectivity of said subsurface area from each vintage of seismic traces; and redatuming the up-down deconvolution result of each vintage from the ocean floor to a desired water depth of the ocean to reduce one or more changes in said seismic traces associated with water layer variations between recordings of said series of seismic traces. The redatumed seismic data is used to generate one or more images representing characteristics of said subsurface area.
