Publication number: 20230403334Abstract: A batch of CRUD operations can be coupled with the resource discovery operation and directly conducted on the matched resources, without initiating new CRUD requests. New functionality at the Originator and Receiver can differentiate the resources for which criteria matching is applied from the resources included in the discovery/filtering results. Enhanced functionality at the Originator and Receiver can combine discovery with RESTful operations targeting a resource set different than but related the discovered resources. Other enhancements may be used to request discovery of resources in a specified relationship to those matching a filter, or to request group formation based on the result.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Catalina Mihaela MLADIN, Qing LI, Rocco DI GIROLAMO, Chonggang WANG, William Robert FLYNN, IV, Hongkun LI, Xu LI

Patent number: 11831736Abstract: A caching entity may store a cached copy of a service layer resource. An original hosting entity may maintain a registry of the corresponding cached resources. Optionally, the original hosting entity may set cache parameters to govern the lifetime of the cache on a caching entity. The caching entity may keep storing the cached copy of the resource and the original hosting entity may obtain statistics about the cached resource. By knowing the statistics, e.g. how many times a resource is retrieved on each caching entity, the original hosting entity may better manage the resource.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Convida Wireless, LLCInventors: Zhuo Chen, Dale N.

Publication number: 20230379669Abstract: A network entity, such as a user equipment (UE), may request that a network provide multicast and broadcast services, e.g., where the request includes entity preferences such as network slice selection information. The network may provide information regarding provision of such services, where the information may include, for example, whether a service will be provided via a user plane or a control plane connection, network slice information, additional connections to be formed, separate encryption for such connections, etc. A Multicast/Broadcast Network Function (MBNF) may be used to establish such connections and manage a broadcast and multicast sessions. The MBNF may, for example, manage groups of entities, check an entity's access privileges for services, communicate with the a Management and Network Orchestration (MANO) system to reserve resources, and send data to entities over a shared control plane connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Hongkun Li, Michael F.

Publication number: 20230370843Abstract: An Authorization Verification Service (AVS) is disclosed that may be provided by an IoT/M2M service layer to registrants of the service layer for Dynamic Context Aware Authorization. The AVS may allow the IoT/M2M service layer entities to define dynamic limits for authorizing access to services or data. The limits may be set, for example, in terms of the number of allowed accesses. When an IoT/M2M registrant makes a request for data or services for which it has dynamic context aware authorization, the AVS may maintain records of the remaining accesses available.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: William Robert Flynn, IV, Dale N.
