  • Publication number: 20220322087
    Abstract: A first wireless access device, associated with a wireless service provider, establishes a wireless local area network connection with a second wireless access device and receives a certificate including a unique identifier associated with the second wireless access device. The first wireless access device determines whether the second wireless access device is authorized to connect to the first wireless access device. For example, if the certificate is signed by a certificate authority associated with the wireless service provider and the unique identifier appears in a whitelist stored at the first wireless access device, the first wireless access device and the second wireless access device perform a mutual authentication procedure based on one or more ephemeral keys. The first wireless access device provides the second wireless access device with access to a wide area network based on successful completion of the mutual authentication procedure.

  • Patent number: 11431398
    Abstract: A device may receive location data identifying a location of a network repeater and an identifier of a base station serving the network repeater, and may identify, based on the identifier of the base station, a first set of gNodeBs anchored to the base station. The device may identify, based on the location data, a second set of gNodeBs from a data structure, and may compare the first set of gNodeBs and the second set of gNodeBs to determine a list of gNodeBs included in the first set of gNodeBs and the second set of gNodeBs. The device may rank the list of gNodeBs, based on coverage projection recommendations, to generate a ranked list of gNodeBs, and may receive, from the data structure, configuration parameters for the ranked list of gNodeBs. The device may provide the configuration parameters for the ranked list of gNodeBs to the network repeater.

  • Patent number: 11259186
    Abstract: A device determines information concerning the device and sends the information concerning the device to a first device. The device receives, from the first device, information concerning a user device, and receives, from a second device, a request concerning the user device accessing the device. The request includes information identifying the device and information identifying the user device. The device generates a request response by validating the user device for access to the device based on the request and sends, to the second device, the request response to facilitate a communication session to be established between the user device and the device. The device communicates with the user device via the communication session.

  • Patent number: 11259223
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for the selective connection of a User Equipment (“UE”), that is camped on a Fifth Generation (“5G”) network during a Voice over WiFi (“VoWiFi”) call, to another network (e.g., a Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) network). In this manner, if the WiFi connection is dropped, the UE may resume the call via the LTE network rather than first handing over to the 5G network.

  • Publication number: 20210297919
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may establish a wireless connection with a WiFi network, and may perform a measurement associated with a fifth generation (5G) ultra-wideband radio access network. The UE may determine whether the measurement satisfies a signal strength threshold, and may selectively perform a first action or a second action based on whether the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The first action may include providing an indication of an availability of the 5G ultra-wideband radio access network, for display, when the measurement satisfies the signal strength threshold. The second action may include maintaining the wireless connection when the measurement fails to satisfy the signal strength threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210099499
    Abstract: A network device receives an indication to establish a session for an internet protocol (IP) service between a first device and a second device, wherein the network device is part of a local network with the first device and another network device. The network device identifies a service tag to include in a service tag field of a session request. The other network device causes the session request that includes an updated service tag to be provided to the second device. The second device provides a session response with the service tag to the other network device, the other network device updates the session response to include the original service tag and provides an updated session response to the network device. The network device causes the session to be established.
