Abstract

Techniques and architecture discussed herein describe applications (apps) that allow devices, e.g., mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, etc., that are out of wireless network coverage to communicate or coordinate with other mobile devices within detectable range, in essence forming a local area network (LAN), by exploiting the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) sidelink feature and geolocation capabilities of the mobile devices. Teams of users may spread out over a specified area and be informed about team members' locations relative to theirs, as well as their up-to-the-minute status or other inputs. More particularly, the 3GPP standard has an “off-network” feature called “sidelink” that can facilitate device-to-device communication without the need for a network connection, e.g., the mobile devices may function similar to walkie talkies.

Abstract

The disclosed system obtains an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) range of multiple UEs operating on a first network. The system obtains a subscription profile and authentication credentials of a UE among the multiple UEs. The system stores the IMSI range, a first subscription profile, and the authentication credentials in a second database of a second network. The second network provides connectivity to the UE when the UE is outside the limited geographical range of the first network. The system receives a request from the UE to connect to the second network when the UE is outside the limited geographical range. The system reduces network traffic by authenticating the UE using the authentication credentials stored in the second database and determining that the service is authorized to be provided to the UE based on the subscription profile stored in the second database without communicating with the first network. Upon authenticating the UE, the system provides the service to the UE.

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.

Abstract

A system of a telecommunications network that blocks spoofed calls. The system includes an interconnect session border controller (I-SBC) that can receive an inbound call over a network interface. The inbound call is associated with an identifier (e.g., a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) identifier). The I-SBC causes a Spoofed Call Identification Function (SCIF) to compare the SIP identifier of the inbound call against a list of allowable SIP identifiers. In one example, the I-SBC receives an indication from the SCIF that the SIP identifier of the inbound call does not match any identifier on the list of allowable SIP identifiers. As such, the system rejects the inbound call as an illegitimate call. The illegitimate call is not forwarded to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) of the telecommunications network.

Abstract

A user equipment (UE), such as a mobile phone, may support multiple power classes. Power classes can define maximum output power levels for uplink transmissions. A base station of a radio access network (RAN) can, based on metrics reported by the UE, dynamically instruct the UE to switch to using a different power class. For example, the base station may instruct the UE to switch from using a first power class with a higher maximum output power to using a second power class with a lower maximum output power, in order to preserve battery life of the UE in situations in which the second power class provides sufficient output power for uplink transmissions to reach the base station.

Abstract

Solutions are disclosed that provide adaptive power preservation for cell sites. Examples collect predicted environmental condition information for a base station and historical power consumption data for a plurality of electrically-powered assets located at the base station. A power usage profile is predicted for the base station using the historical power consumption data and the environmental condition information, and performance of secondary power sources at the base station are predicted (e.g., solar and wind power generation performance using weather predictions). Using the predictions, a power preservation action is selected, such as diverting incoming primary power to recharge a battery, using battery charge in lieu of primary power for at least one of the electrically-powered assets located at the base station (e.g., the tower light or cooling equipment), and selectively powering one of the electrically-powered assets (e.g., 5G radio) while reducing power to another (e.g., 4G radio).

Abstract

Solutions are disclosed that provide intelligent adaptive measurement gaps for low mobility user equipment (UEs), such as home internet access points. Because low mobility (stationary use) UE do not move, or move only infrequently, the frequency for of handovers to neighboring cells is reduced, lowering the urgency of measuring signal reception from neighboring cells. A wireless network determines that a first UE is associated with a stationary use, and that a second UE is not. The network transmits a first radio resource control (RRC) message specifying a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) and an indication to skip at least one measurement gap, to the first UE, and transmits a second RRC message specifying the MGRP, without an indication to skip a measurement gap, to the second UE. In some examples, the MGRP is indicated as having one of four values: 20 milliseconds (ms), 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms.

Abstract

A telecommunications network provides selective roaming for user equipment (UE) devices registered to the network, allowing some UE devices to operate on a roaming network in some geographic regions and disallowing other UE devices to access roaming networks. The telecommunications network maintains mappings between UE devices and roaming permissions for each UE device. When a target UE device requests to attach to a roaming network, the roaming network passes the request, with an identifier of a particular geographic region in which the request was received, to the telecommunications network to query the mappings. If the mappings indicate the target UE device is authorized to access the roaming network in the particular geographic region, the telecommunications network allows the target UE device to attach to the roaming network.

Abstract

A method is performed by a wireless mobile network to mitigate interference between communication links. A request is received for resources needed to support an application by a vehicle relative to another vehicle. The resources are configured based on the application and are used to establish a direct communication link between the vehicles. The resources are to be shared between the direct communication link and another communication link. The mobile network defines certain blanked resources that are disallowed for use to perform the application. Any remaining resources (or non-blanked resources) are allowed for use to perform the application. The blanked resources can be used by the other communication link to avoid interference with the direct communication link. The allocation of resources is communicated to the vehicle to establish the direct communication link with the other vehicle.

Abstract

The system receives a SIP call from a UE associated with the user. The SIP call includes a call setup phase and a data transfer phase, where the call setup phase precedes the data transfer phase. The call setup phase includes an exchange of multiple header fields. The system obtains the multiple header fields from the SIP call. The system determines that the call is an open-line call by identifying an optional field within the multiple header fields, where the optional field indicates that the call is the open-line call. The open-line call indicates that the user of the UE cannot engage in a conversation with a receiver of the open-line call. Upon determining that the call is the open-line call, the system notifies an operator receiving the SIP call to not engage in an audible conversation with the user.

Abstract

The disclosed technology includes a voicemail translation service of a telecommunications network. The voicemail translation service can receive a voicemail message communicated from a calling party to a called party. The voicemail translation service calls an application programming interface (API) to upload the voicemail message to a transcription service, which completes transcription of the voicemail message in a default language. In response to determining that the default language of the completed transcription does not match a target language of the called party, the voicemail translation service triggers another API to generate a translation of the transcription in accordance with the target language. The voicemail translation service then stores the translated transcription in a voicemail storage system that is accessible by the called party.

Abstract

A system pairs a 5G-connected drone to a 5G-enabled user-controlled device. The system sets a predicted route for the 5G-connected drone to navigate. A portion of this route is indoors and matches an actual route of the user-controlled device. The system then causes the 5G-connected drone to commence navigating the predicted route. The system receives environmental data from the area surrounding the 5G-connected drone on the predicted route measured by a set of onboard sensors of the 5G-connected drone. Using the received environmental data and a deviation of the predicted route from the actual route traversed by the user-controlled device, the system determines that an alternate route for the 5G-connected drone exists and sets the alternate route. The system generates a notification based on the environmental data indicating hazards on the alternate route and transmits the notification over a 5G network to the user-controlled device.

Abstract

The invention relates to using a message modification attribute value to indicate restrictions on lines of communication that may be used for a particular device. In some aspects, a network node of a telecommunications network receives a request to deliver a SMS message from a first mobile device to a second mobile device. The network node determines that the first mobile device is eligible to receive SMS messages but not instant messages. Therefore, the network node generates a message modification attribute value indicating the communication channel via which messages are to be delivered to the first mobile device. The network node sends the SMS message to the second mobile device modified by the message modification attribute value. The second mobile device receives the message and, based on the message modification attribute value, acknowledges to use SMS communication with the first mobile device for a first duration of time.

Abstract

A system includes a policy control function (PCF) that receives an indication from a mobile device in a wireless cellular network that indicates a secure connection between the mobile device and an endpoint in the wireless cellular network. The secure connection is associated with a security policy that includes a first set of parameters and operates at a first level of granularity and a routing policy that includes a second set of parameters and operates at a second level of granularity. The PCF then determines a mapping between the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters that aligns the first level of granularity with the second level of granularity. In an example, the alignment improves the utilization of network resources in the wireless cellular network. The mapping is then transmitted to the mobile device, which enables the mobile device to use the secure connection.

Abstract

A system collects handles of entities registered to post content on online platforms and stores the handles on a blockchain network. The stored handles can mitigate the effects of being deplatformed from the online platforms. In one example, the system registers global identifiers that each uniquely identify an entity. The system receives and indexes handles of various online platforms based on the global identifiers. The indexed handles that are stored on the blockchain network can be searched by followers of a deplatformed entity for an alternative online platform on which the deplatformed entity posts content.

Abstract

The system receives, from a telecommunications network subscribed to by the wireless device, a list of roaming networks. The system connects to a roaming network from the list of roaming networks. The system enters a roaming mode from a standard mode. The roaming mode reduces the amount of data used by the wireless device by preventing the wireless device from performing background tasks. Background tasks include processes performed by the wireless device to keep an application on the wireless device up to date. The standard mode causes the wireless device to operate at a higher data level and a less optimized battery level compared to the roaming mode. The system connects to the telecommunications network. The wireless device disconnects from the roaming network before connecting to the telecommunications network subscribed to by the wireless device. The system enters the standard mode.

Abstract

Methods and systems for secure caller identification are described herein. In one implementation, when a phone call from a caller is received, a home network may mark a caller ID as trustable in a trusted flag if the caller ID can be verified. The home network may further forward the caller ID and a replica of the flag to a next hop entity until the next hop is the callee. The network on each hop may further verify the caller ID based on a trust relationship between the network and a prior network. In another implementation, the home network of the caller may send a caller ID token (CIT) associated with the caller and send a replica of CIT to a serving network of the callee through one or more networks. The serving network may verify the replica of CIT to determine whether the caller ID is trustable.

Abstract

A system uses a trained machine learning model to predict a likelihood of failure of telecommunications network equipment housed in equipment boxes. The model can be configured to receive, as input, (1) air temperature in an environment proximate to the equipment and (2) attributes of fans in the equipment boxes. The system monitors a set of equipment boxes using the model by processing the received measurements of air temperature and attributes of fans to predict likelihoods of failure of the monitored equipment boxes. Network performance associated with equipment housed in the monitored equipment boxes is observed. Upon detecting the observed network performance of telecommunications network equipment within a target equipment box is below a performance threshold and detecting the predicted likelihood of failure of the target equipment box is below a failure threshold, the model is retrained based on an error value associated with the predicted likelihood of failure.

Abstract

Network subscriber devices simulate peer devices via virtual models displayed within a real-time capture of a physical environment, as an extended reality (XR) experience for users. Immersion of the XR experience is enhanced based on layering the virtual model of a simulated device in relation to digits of a user included within the real-time capture, thus appearing like the user is holding the simulated device. The digits of the user that are layered above the virtual model can be tracked such that the user can move these digits to make virtual inputs to the simulated device that can cause virtual display content shown with the virtual model to change. Device specification information is also shown within the XR experience. Via the XR experience, network subscribers can be better informed on devices available for use on a telecommunication network and can immediately acquire devices being simulated within the XR experience.

Abstract

Global mobile communication event identifiers (IDs) improve security by enabling early detection of cybersecurity events in cellular networks. The event IDs are each unique to a category of mobile communication events and consistent across the network functions (NF), even from different vendors. NFs assign event IDs to mobile communication events, which are reported to a cybersecurity operations center. The cybersecurity operations center has visibility into network-wide events and is thus able to match occurrences of event IDs with categorized attacks, when an attack is occurring. This enables rapid, intelligent selection of a defensive response.

Abstract

System and methods for using a visitor subscriber service (VSS) to provide short messaging services (SMS) on an advanced network for inbound roamers are described. The VSS acts as proxy for registration services and uses profile information of a roaming UE to either route a mobile terminated SMS message for the UE to an IMS if the UE supports SMS over IMS, or, to a mobile call operator (MCO) using SMS over SGS if the UE does not support SMS over IMS. The VSS interfaces with a home location register (HLR) of a HPLMN of the UE to provide a visitor location register (VLR) address of the VSS. The VLR address is used by an SMSC of the HPLMN to route the SMS message to the VSS. The MCO interfaces with a mobility management entity (MME) to which the UE attaches during a registration operation.

Abstract

The disclosed technology performs an automatic update of a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN) change to at least a subset of contacts associated with a user account. Upon receiving an indication of a MSISDN change associated with an account, a contact update server of a telecommunications network retrieves contact information that includes multiple contacts of the account with multiple identifiers. The contact update server generates short messaging service (SMS) messages to be delivered to the multiple contacts of the account based on the multiple identifiers. The SMS messages include information regarding the MSISDN change associated with the account. The contact update server transfers the SMS messages to a short message service center (SMSC), and the SMSC delivers the SMS messages to the multiple contacts of the account.

Abstract

Solutions are disclosed that perform intelligent select whether to transmit a system information block 1 (SIB1) message to a user equipment (UE) during a handover. The wireless network determines whether the UE will be moving to a target basestation having a different tracking area code (TAC) than the source basestation. If so, the source basestation sends the SIB1 for the target basestation to the UE with the handover command, so that the UE is alerted to perform a mobility registration update (MRU) with the new TAC. However, if the UE will be moving to a target basestation having the same TAC as the source basestation, the source basestation sends the handover command without the SIB1 for the target basestation, to save network bandwidth. In some examples, the source basestation queries the target basestation to learn the TAC of the target basestation.

Abstract

A computer system obtains information describing a geographical area segmented into multiple first clusters serviced by a telecommunications network. Multiple test locations are identified within the first clusters. Each test location is located within a grid of the geographical area. Each first cluster is recursively segmented into multiple second clusters until a difference between a number of test locations within each second cluster and a target number of test locations is less than a threshold number of test locations. A route is generated connecting test locations within each second cluster, using a routing application programming interface for performing drive testing of the telecommunications network. The computer system sends the route to one or more computer devices for performing the drive testing at the test locations in a sequence corresponding to the route.

Abstract

Techniques for determining calibration data associated with a radio frequency (RF) testing environment are discussed herein. For example, an RF signal can be input to the RF enclosure and selectively applied to discrete attenuators. The attenuators can attenuate a strength of the signal and a signal strength can be measured by various user equipment (UEs) that are located within an RF enclosure. In some examples, a plurality of measured reference signal received power (RSRP) values can be determined by a plurality of UEs associated with a particular attenuation level. Different attenuation levels can be measured, and an average attenuation can be determined for attenuation steps. Measured attenuation steps can be extrapolated to other attenuation levels to expedite the calibration process. Then, a testing plan can be applied to the RF enclosure and the calibration data can be used to ensure accurate signals for testing UEs.

The system dynamically provisions security resources for multiple network slices based on respective security requirements, which are determined by monitoring network traffic associated with functions or applications supported by the network slices. The system allocates the selected network slice including security resources that satisfy its security requirement to support the wireless device.

Abstract

Systems and methods for dynamically managing the states (e.g., enabling/disabling) of telecommunication services/features are disclosed. To do so, the system associates parameters (e.g., timers) with the impacted services/features. For example, when a user experiences issues with voice calls, he/she calls the telecommunications service provider (carrier) to help resolve the issue. A customer care representative may ask the user to temporality turn off the VoNR service to help alleviate the issue. When the user turns off (or toggles off) the VoNR service on his/her mobile device, the system can start a configurable timer (parameter) for the VoNR service. In this manner, the system can replace the conventional toggle on/off feature with a time-based feature. The system monitors the timer's value and when the timer's value reaches a target value (e.g., 24 hours, 1 week, etc.), the system alerts the user that the VoNR service will be turned on (or toggled on).

Abstract

Solutions for providing a data traffic session with proxy-call session control function (P-CSCF) restoration include: receiving an indication, by an application server (AS), that a user equipment (UE) is registered with a first proxy node; receiving, at a subscriber information node, from a call session control function (e.g., over an N70 interface), a first message triggering proxy node restoration; based on at least receiving the first message triggering proxy node restoration, transmitting, by the subscriber information node, to a management node, a second message triggering proxy node restoration; receiving an indication, by the AS, that the UE is registered with a second proxy node different than the first proxy node; and based on at least receiving a session initiation message, establishing the data traffic session for the UE with the second proxy node.

Abstract

The system obtains an indication of an attribute of a UE operating on a network. The system obtains an NFT based on the attribute of the UE and an ID of the NFT. The system creates a digital wallet based on a public cryptographic key associated with the UE, where the digital wallet can store the NFT and a private cryptographic key associated with the UE. The system stores the NFT in the digital wallet. Storing the NFT indicates that the attribute included in the NFT belongs to the user of the UE. The system receives, from a third party independent of the network, a request to authenticate the user based on the attribute, and provides, to the third party, the ID of the NFT and an address of the digital wallet, where the third party authenticates the user upon verifying that the ID of the NFT is stored in the digital wallet.

Abstract

System and methods for external vulnerability scanning a network are described. When a user equipment is attached to a network, the network provides information about the user equipment to a lookup table. In some examples, the lookup table is maintained by a network, such as mobile network, that facilitates packet-based communications between the user equipment to devices on the Internet. A scanner that performs the external vulnerability scan is provided information stored in the lookup table. The scanner returns the results of the scan to the mobile network.

Abstract

System and methods for updating a location of a mobile network asset are described. A location of a user equipment is sometimes provided by the user equipment as part of a registration request from the user equipment. A location agent of the mobile network receives the location of the user equipment and provides the location to a location manager. The location manager calculates a location of the asset using the location information provided by the user equipment. The calculated location of the asset can be compared to a previously stored location of the asset and updated if needed.
