  • Patent number: 8903051
    Abstract: A device is configured to detect an emergency call from a user device associated with a device identifier, the device identifier including information that identifies the user device. The device is configured to detect that the user device is not associated with a valid originating telephone number, based on detecting the emergency call. The device is configured to determine a temporary originating telephone number, based on detecting that the user device is not associated with a valid originating telephone number, and to store an association between the device identifier and the temporary originating telephone number. The device is configured to transmit the emergency call, with information identifying the temporary originating telephone number, to an emergency call device, the temporary originating telephone number permitting the emergency call device to place a return call to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20140349609
    Abstract: One or more devices may receive an instruction to generate an index for a customer associated with a base station and may generate the index based on receiving the instruction. The index may include one or more spaces to store a corresponding one or more access identifiers (IDs) used to allow a user device to connect to the base station. The one or more devices may receive an instruction to add an access ID to the index; generate the access ID based on a format of the access ID, a customer type, a customer ID, or a space ID; store the access ID in one of the one or more spaces of the index; and provide the access ID to the user device and the base station. The access ID may permit the user device to connect to the base station to access a network via the base station.

  • Publication number: 20140269525
    Abstract: A network device is configured to receive, from a user device that is not subscribed to a network associated with the network device, a connection request identifying a particular service, of one or more services, to provide to the user device. The system may further identify a packet data network (PDN) to establish based on the particular service; identify one or more parameters, associated with the PDN and identifying a data flow, associated with the particular service, that can be provided to the user device; and establish the PDN based on the one or more PDN parameters. The PDN may permit only the data flow, associated with the particular service, to be transmitted to the user device. The system may further provide the data flow, associated with the particular service, to the user device via the PDN.
