Abstract: A network device obtains an External Identifier for a user device. The External identifier includes a “<Local Identifier>@<Domain Identifier>” format. The network device generates a message, the message including a user identity field for the user device. The user identity field includes the External Identifier. The network device sends, to another network device, the message via an Sh interface.

Abstract: A device may receive a request to establish a packet data network (PDN) session for a user device. The device may provide a first instruction to establish the PDN session for the user device with a temporary default bearer based on receiving the request. The temporary default bearer may be maintained for less than a duration of the PDN session. The device may receive an indication to release the temporary default bearer after providing the first instruction to establish the PDN session. The device may provide a second instruction to release the temporary default bearer and maintain one or more signaling sessions associated with the PDN session based on receiving the indication to release the temporary default bearer. The one or more signaling sessions, associated with the PDN session, may be maintained after the temporary default bearer has been released.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are provided to receive from an end device, a session establishment message pertaining to a voice service that restricts the end device to place a voice call to and receive a voice call from a designated call center; replace a uniform resource identifier of the designated call center included in the session establishment message, with an enterprise identifier included in subscription data pertaining to the end device; select, based on the enterprise identifier, another network device to transmit the session establishment message; and transmit the session establishment message to another device based on the selection.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a subscriber identity module (SIM) over-the-air (OTA) (SIM OTA) device, a short message peer-to-peer (SMPP) message. The SMPP message including an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) associated with a user device. The SMPP message being associated with modifying a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) of the user device. The device may determine, using the IMSI associated with the user device, a network device to which the user device is connected. The device may provide, to the network device, a short message service (SMS) message associated with modifying the UICC of the user device to permit the UICC of the user device to be modified.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to generate a first Short Message Service (SMS) message, which includes a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message configured to initiate or end a media session that is supported by a control channel and a media channel; transmit, via non-access stratum as the control channel in response to the generation, the first SMS message that includes the first SIP message to a server via a mobility management entity; establish, subsequent to the transmission, an end-to-end connection for the media session using a bearer as the media channel when the first SIP message is configured to initiate the media session; and end, subsequent to the transmission, the media session, when the first SIP message is configured to end the media session.

Abstract: The period for Tracking Area Update (TAU) requests, that are made by Machine-to-machine (M2M) User Equipment (UE) in a wireless cellular network, may be dynamically modified. In one implementation, the period for the TAU request may be dynamically increased for M2M UEs that tend to be stationary. Increasing the period at which M2M UEs initiate TAU requests with the wireless network can reduce the amount of control signaling that needs to be performed over the radio links.

Abstract: A network device receives signaling associated with a wireless device of a subscriber to a delay-tolerant wireless network service, and downloads a service profile of the subscriber from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) associated with a wireless network. The network device retrieves, from the downloaded service profile, a signaling priority value associated with the subscriber or with the wireless device, and identifies whether the signaling priority value indicates a low priority value. The network device prioritizes the processing of signaling associated with a plurality of wireless devices based on whether the signaling priority value indicates the low priority value, wherein the plurality of wireless devices includes the wireless device.

Abstract: A system may be configured to establish a communication between a first user device and a second user device, where the first and second user devices are associated with different service providers that provide different networks with which the first and second user devices are respectively associated. The establishing may include determining capability information, associated with the second user device, without requesting the capability information from the telecommunications network with which the second user device is associated. The establishing may further include transcoding the communication based on the capability information associated with the second user device.

Abstract: A computer device may include logic configured to intercept a tracking area update response from a wireless network device to a user equipment device and trigger a device ping process for the user equipment device, in response to intercepting the tracking area update response. The logic may be further configured to generate a device ping message based on the triggering; send the device ping message to an application system associated with the user equipment device; receive a device ping response from the application system; incorporate information from the device ping response into the intercepted tracking area update response; and send the tracking area update response with the incorporated device ping information to the user equipment device.
