  • Patent number: 11527166
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to intelligent drone traffic management via a radio access network (“RAN”). As disclosed herein, a RAN node, such as an eNodeB, can receive, from a drone, a flight configuration. The flight configuration can include a drone ID and a drone route. The RAN node can determine whether capacity is available in an airspace associated with the RAN node. In response to determining that capacity is available in the airspace associated with the RAN node, the RAN node can add the drone ID to a queue of drones awaiting use of the airspace associated with the RAN node. When the drone ID is next in the queue of drones awaiting use of the airspace associated with the RAN node, the RAN node can instruct the drone to fly through at least a portion of the airspace in accordance with the drone route.

  • Publication number: 20220394798
    Abstract: Techniques for creating a service slice of a network in an underserved area are presented. A vehicle can be associated with a slice component that can generate service slices of a service network for various services. The vehicle can travel to an underserved area that does not have adequate wireless coverage or advance capabilities. For a communication device associated with an entity located in an underserved area, slice component can generate a service slice to connect the communication device to the communication network (and service network), establish a session with the communication device, provide applications, including VNF applications, to the communication device, and communicate information between the communication device and communication network (and service network). If no radio access to the network is available, slice component can continue the session with an internal slice and store information in its service database, which is synced when reconnected to the network.

  • Patent number: 11509812
    Abstract: A system of cameras can be used to generate a complete field of view within an edge network. For example, one camera can have a field of view where part of the view is obstructed by an object and/or by the camera's orientation. Yet another camera that is a part of the edge network can supplement the view of the first camera by providing an alternate view. The two views can be stitched together by a coordinate system such that a complete field of view can be utilized by both cameras. Additionally, where a field of view is not available by any stationary camera, the system can dispatch a mobile camera to help supplement the views.

  • Patent number: 11483301
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a request for access to a wireless network via an access point. Responsive to a first determination that the identifier corresponds to an entry in the list, access is facilitated to the wireless network via the access point without the equipment of the requesting user providing credentials to the wireless network. The list includes a first set of entries corresponding to a first set of users having unrestricted access and a second set of entries corresponding to a second set of users having restricted access. Responsive to a second determination that the identifier does not correspond to any of the entries, a message is transmitted to equipment of the host regarding the request, and responsive to receiving approval, the list is updated to include the identifier. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220338294
    Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for instantiating intelligent service delivery parameters within protected hardware. For instance, in one example, a method includes instantiating within a user endpoint device an end-to-end slice of a communications network, wherein the slice is configured to carry data over the communications network subject to a predefined combination of network service metrics, transmitting user data from the user endpoint device to the communications network via the slice when the user endpoint device is able to establish a radio connection to the communications network, and storing the user data locally in the user endpoint device when the user endpoint device is unable to establish a radio connection to the communications network.

  • Publication number: 20220295230
    Abstract: In a 6G network, microservices can be utilized in the absence of a core network. For example, after a mobile device has authenticated, when the mobile device moves away from mobile edge computing (MEC) coverage, the information from the MEC can be ported to a new MEC along the way of the mobile device's path. The initial MEC can send service related application package data to one or more neighboring MECs. When a neighboring MEC of the neighboring MECs receives the service related application package data and the neighboring MEC serves the area which the mobile device is transitioning to, then the neighboring MEC can send an acknowledgment back to the initial MEC. Once the acknowledgment is received by the initial MEC, the initial MEC can complete the handover of the application data needed to reduce or mitigate any disruption in service for the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20220294656
    Abstract: Edge node networks can be utilized to facilitate predictive access to content for a wide variety of applications. For example, predictive data can be generated based on historical patterns, audio data, calendar invites, etc. The predictive data can include predicted locations, persons present based on usage of their mobile device, edge node and access point usage, etc. The predicted data can be used to facilitate more efficient access to content by proactively sending mobile application and/or content usage data to edge node equipment that is predicted to be used in accordance with a predicted a predicted event. Furthermore, the predictive analysis can be used to modify mobile screens for quicker access to content and/or mobile applications.

  • Patent number: 11436355
    Abstract: Structured access to volunteered private data disclosed. Access can be based on security and privacy constraint information (SPCI) that can be selected by the party volunteering the private data. The volunteered data can be stored in a protected portion of a public network. The SPCI can be correlated to the volunteered data. In response to receiving a request for access to the volunteered data, an attribute of the request can be determined to satisfy one or more rules related to the SPCI prior to facilitating access to a version of a portion of the volunteered data. The version of the portion of the volunteered data can be a redaction of the portion of the volunteered data. The version of the portion of the volunteered data can be aggregated with other portions of other volunteered data determined to satisfy corresponding SPCI related rules.
