The incident report is delayed relative to the retrieved performance data, and the method includes receiving an incident report based on first data associated with a first cell site, where the first data is associated with a first time; querying the first cell site for performance data of the first cell site responsive to the incident report; receiving performance data from the first cell site responsive to the query, where the performance data is associated with a second time that is later than the first time; and implementing a control response at the first cell site responsive to the received performance data, where the control response is to resolve an incident indicated by the incident report.
A method of managing execution of a secure application is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an initial profile of an wireless communication device (WCD) by a secure application manager executing on a computer system, storing the initial profile by the secure application manager in a datastore; receiving a request comprising a current profile of the WCD by the secure application manager from an API of a secure application executing on the WCD to invoke an operation of a secure application; comparing the current profile of the WCD by the secure application manager to the initial profile of the WCD stored in the immutable record in the datastore; and in response to determining that the current profile of the WCD matches the initial profile of the WCD, passing the request to invoke an operation of the secure application by the secure application manager to the secure application for execution.

OPTIMIZATION OF SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK PERIODICITY
Systems and methods are provided for synchronization signal block (SSB) periodicity optimization in a wireless network. A method includes measuring a network load and comparing the measured network load to a first predetermined threshold. The method further includes automatically adjusting an SSB periodicity when the network load meets the first predetermined threshold.
A method for testing a computer system. The method includes executing a test batch including a plurality of separate test cases, generating a plurality of test logs in response to the execution of the test batch, and identifying automatically a subset of test logs of the plurality of test logs associated with a failed test case of the plurality of test cases prior to the conclusion of the execution of the test batch. The method additionally includes sorting automatically the subset of test logs into a specific arrangement prior to the conclusion of the execution of the test batch, determining automatically a cause of the failure of the failed test case based on the arrangement of the sorted subset of test logs, and aborting the execution of the test batch based on the determination of the cause of the failure of the failed test case.
A core network comprises a data store is configured to store a record associated with a wireless communication device, wherein the record comprises a plurality of pre-provisioned security parameters related to the wireless communication device. A core authentication application at the core network is configured to receive an authentication request comprising at least one security parameter stored at both the wireless communication device and in a record at the data store, obtain a registration identifier in response to inputting the at least one security parameter received in the authentication request into a first security application, obtain a network-side authentication identifier in response to inputting the registration identifier into a second security application, and determine whether the wireless communication device is authenticated and authorized to access the carrier network when a device-side authentication identifier matches the network-side authentication identifier.
