  • Patent number: 11711395
    Abstract: A device processes a communication between a source and user equipment. The user equipment is one of a plurality of user equipment connected to a network and the user equipment is associated with an entity. The device determines that the communication is associated with an anomalous traffic pattern. The device implements a provisional blocking of traffic between the source and the plurality of user equipment connected to the network and generates a filtering rule based on determining the anomalous traffic pattern, where the filtering rule prescribes that traffic between the source and the second user equipment is to be blocked. The device transmits a notification to the entity associated with the user equipment that requests that the entity affirm the filtering rule, and the device blocks traffic between the source and the user equipment based on the entity affirming the filtering rule.

  • Patent number: 11395215
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for automatically mitigating excessive pings transmitted by a User Equipment (“UE”) through a wireless telecommunications network by instructing the UE to take remedial action and/or by modifying the UE's access to the network. A given UE transmitting excessive pings may be automatically identified based on dynamic thresholds which may vary based on factors such as network congestion, and the instructions may include instructions to shut down, restart, or send fewer pings. The access may be modified by modifying subscription information for the UE at a subscriber information repository.

  • Patent number: 11381568
    Abstract: A device may receive, from a user equipment (UE), authentication data that includes user information associated with a user of the UE. The device may determine whether the user is authorized to make requests to a service. The device may grant access to the user to make requests to the service. The device may receive, from the UE, a request that is intended for the service. The request may relate to an action that is to be performed by the service. The device may determine whether the user has permission to request the action. The device may provide the request to the service. The device may receive, from the service, a response to the request. The device may provide, to the UE, the response.
