Abstract: In some implementations, a policy control function (PCF) device may receive a PCF device key uniquely associated with a user equipment (UE). The PCF device may generate an integrity key and an encryption key based on the PCF device key and an identifier of the PCF device. The PCF device may generate, based on the integrity key, integrity data associated with policy information related to the UE. The PCF device may encrypt, based on the encryption key, the policy information to generate encrypted policy information. The PCF device may send, for the UE, a UE policy message indicating the integrity data, the encrypted policy information, and the identifier of the PCF device.

Abstract: Described herein are complete lifecycle management processes for IoT/M2M devices. In an example, devices are commissioned and de-commissioned in a given system without requiring a user/human administrator. A delegated life-cycle management process is described, wherein devices rely upon a delegatee, which may have more computing and battery resources than the devices, to perform complete or partial lifecycle management operations on behalf of the devices. The delegatee may be a trusted entity that may belong to the same domain as the devices. Further, a Trust Enabling Infrastructure (TEI) is described herein, which may belong to a different trusted domain than the given device and its delegatee.

Abstract: In some implementations, a network device of a network may discover a media access control (MAC) address of a host device, associated with an attachment circuit, that has moved to the network device from another network device of the network. The network device may transmit, based on discovering the MAC address of the host device that has moved to the network device from the other network device, over the attachment circuit, a general membership query. In some implementations, another network device may receive a media access control (MAC) advertisement route message indicating that the network device has discovered the MAC address of the host device. The other network device may delete one or more multicast group memberships associated with the host device.

Abstract: A mobile device in a moving vehicle initializes a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)—Inertial Navigation System (INS) system while the vehicle is in-motion with the orientation of the mobile device with respect to a global reference frame. The mobile device uses gyroscope measurements made while the vehicle is turning to determine a gravity vector. The gravity vector and accelerometer measurements may be used to determine a forward vector for the mobile device. A north vector is determined using the GNSS measurements. After the GNSS-INS system is calibrated, the mobile device may be positioned with respect to the vehicle. The orientation of the mobile device, prior to repositioning, may be compared to a current orientation, determined while the vehicle is in motion, in order to determine whether the GNSS-INS system should be re-initialized.

Abstract: An extensible policy-based service layer dynamic authorization framework can allow a service layer to determine whether or not to grant or deny a registrant access to a resource or service hosted by the service layer for which the registrant currently lacks the proper privileges to access. This method can also enable a service layer to dynamically update its statically configured authorization privileges (by leveraging its dynamic authorization results) such that future requests from the same registrant and to the same resource and service do not require dynamic authorization to be performed.
