Patent number: 12245039Abstract: The technology includes a method performed by a system of a telecommunications network to manage network traffic of a 5G network. The system can instantiate a security system to sort incoming or outgoing network traffic at a perimeter of the 5G network into multiple groups that are each uniquely associated with multiple traffic types and multiple security levels. The system can inspect segments of data included in the incoming network traffic and sort multiple portions of the network traffic into the groups based in part on the inspection of the segments of the data. The system can dynamically adjust an available bandwidth of the 5G network based on each load of each of the groups and dispatch the portions of the network traffic in accordance with a traffic type and a security level of each of the groups.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Venson Shaw

Publication number: 20250063366Abstract: A method performed by a network node that generates a schedule of communication exchanges between the network node and a small cell of a telecommunications network. The schedule is unique for the small cell among multiple small cells and sets times for sending status signals to the small cell and receiving counterpart response signals from the small cell. When the network node detects non-compliance with the schedule, the network node can begin to monitor the small cell for anomalous activity. Upon detecting that the anomalous activity includes malicious activity, the network node can communicate with the small cell wirelessly to deauthorize the small cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventor: Venson Shaw

Patent number: 12133091Abstract: A security system generates a digital signature for a small cell of a wireless network and assigns the digital signature to the small cell for connecting to the wireless network. The digital signature can be generated based on a connectivity schedule for the small cell. When the security system obtains a connection request from the small cell to connect to the wireless network, the security system compares an instance of the digital signature included in the connection request with an expected digital signature and compares the point in time when the connection request was communicated with an expected time indicated in the connectivity schedule. The security system detects an anomaly when the instance of the digital signature deviates from the expected digital signature or the point in time deviates from the expected time, and causes performance of an action based on a type or degree of the anomaly.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2023Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Venson Shaw, Gaviphat Lekutai
