  • Publication number: 20250150957
    Abstract: Aspects herein provide a system, media, and methods for provisioning and establishing multiple network slices for use by an application. In aspects, a particular application is able to provision a URLLC slice and an eMBB slice from a network. Based on a predefined policy associated with the application, the application communicates high priority data using a URLLC slice and non-priority data using the eMBB slice. The application can utilize unique headers on high priority data and non-priority data to implement the data prioritization schema, which the network can further use as filters. As such, the application can leverage the distinct characteristics of URLLC and eMBB to optimize the application's performance and operations at a user device and/or within the network.

  • Patent number: 12279340
    Abstract: A wireless communication network receives a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) profile from a User Equipment (UE) and authenticates the UE based on the first SIM profile. The network receives a first slice request from the UE and authorizes a first wireless network slice for the UE based on the authentication of the first SIM profile and the first slice request. The network receives a second SIM profile from the UE and authenticates the UE based on the second SIM profile. The network receives a second slice request from the UE and authorizes a second wireless network slice for the UE based on the authentication of the second SIM profile and the second slice request. The network wirelessly exchanges first slice data with the UE over the first wireless network slice, and simultaneously, exchanges second slice data with the UE over the second wireless network slice.

  • Patent number: 12250265
    Abstract: A computerized method configures and uses ad hoc servers to serve content. A content server configured to serve a content dataset periodically provides a current server load notification to a domain name server (DNS). Upon detecting that a current load of the content server exceeds a server load threshold, the DNS sends a new server setup notification to the content server. The content server then identifies an ad hoc server and performs a content service handover to the identified ad hoc server. Upon completion of the content service handover, the content server provides a new server notification to the DNS indicating that the identified ad hoc server is ready to serve the content dataset. The DNS is thereby enabled to divert client requests for the content dataset to the ad hoc server during the period that the current load of the content server exceeds the server load threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250081220
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein relates to improved data transmissions over a radio access network (RAN). In embodiments, the RAN can receive, via a RAN node, a request for extended reality (XR) traffic (e.g., the request being associated with a user device). In embodiments, based on the request, one or more components of the RAN can allocate XR data for transmission over one or more ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) slices that each have a latency parameter below an XR latency threshold. In embodiments, the XR latency threshold can be determined based on the request. In embodiments, one or more RAN components can identify a frequency band (e.g., associated with a RAN node) having a URLLC slice that has a latency parameter below the XR latency threshold. As such, XR data can be transmitted to the user device via the URLLC slice having the latency parameter below the XR latency threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240373285
    Abstract: Various embodiments comprise a wireless access node to inhibit access point data congestion. In some examples, the wireless communication network comprises node circuitry and radio circuitry. The radio circuitry wirelessly exchanges user data with a wireless user device for a low latency data service. The node circuitry exchanges the user data with a network user plane. The node circuitry measures a queue status for downlink data transmission to the wireless user device. The node circuitry generates a queue report that indicates the queue status. The radio circuitry wirelessly transfers the queue report to the wireless user device. The wireless user device receives the queue report and wirelessly transfers uplink signaling indicating the queue report to the wireless access node for delivery to a congestion control application server.

  • Publication number: 20240290044
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein relates to generating a three-dimensional virtual entity using augmented reality, mixed reality, extended reality, another reality type, or one or more combinations thereof. The virtual entity is generated using two-dimensional image data and a depth measurement of the entity relative to the positioning of the entity within an image or video. The depth measurement is determined based on transmitting one or more radio frequencies toward the entity via one or more radio frequency transmitters based on the entity being identified using the image data. Further, the depth measurement is determined based on one or more radio frequency receivers receiving radio frequency data based on the one or more radio frequencies reflecting or refracting from the entity. The determined depth measurement is transmitted over a wireless telecommunications network for generating the three-dimensional entity. The radio frequency data may be transmitted over the wireless telecommunications network.

  • Publication number: 20240275605
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to utilizing computing resource nodes available to a wireless telecommunications network to distribute performance of blockchain operations throughout the wireless telecommunication network nodes. A wireless telecommunication network includes computing resources across multiple domains, including core network servers, base stations, and user devices. An example wireless telecommunication network includes a network-integrated blockchain service via which a blockchain node can submit a service request for usage of network resources to complete a blockchain operation (e.g., determining a cryptographic hash of data to be added to a blockchain) and via which a service result (e.g., a final hash value) can be returned to the blockchain node. The network-integrated blockchain service uses a machine learning (ML) model to predict and select certain network computing devices with resource availability.
