Abstract: A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Software Defined Network (SDN) maintains hardware trusted communications. A source trust controller and a target trust controller establish hardware trust with a trust server. The trust server exchanges information with the source trust controller that indicates the hardware trust for a target vSW. The source trust controller exchanges the information with the source vSW that indicates the hardware trust for the target vSW. The source vSW receives a Virtual Data Unit (VDU) from the source VNF for delivery to the target VNF over the target vSW, and before transfer, the source vSW verifies hardware trust of the target vSW based on the HT information. Responsive to the hardware trust verification, the source vSW transfers the VDU for the delivery to the target vSW. The target vSW transfers the VDU to the target VNF.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for allocating Long Term Evolution (LTE) resources to a wireless relay node. In one implementation, a method of operating a LTE access node includes receiving device summary reports from a wireless relay node that indicate at least the quantity of wireless communication devices connected to the wireless relay node. Based on the received summaries, the LTE access node may determine scheduling weights for the wireless relay node, wherein the scheduling weights indicate a probability of scheduling resources in comparison to other wireless communication devices communicating using the same quality of service class identifier as the wireless relay node.

Abstract: A wireless access node to facilitate voice over long term evolution (VoLTE) communication sessions comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to exchange VoLTE packets with a wireless communication device during a VoLTE communication session, and receive a scheduling request and responsively issue a scheduling grant with a number of hybrid automatic repeat requests (HARQs). The processing system is configured to calculate a quality of service (QoS) score based on a communication quality of the VoLTE communication session after issuing the scheduling grant, and if the QoS score falls below a threshold value, apply a lower level of fragmentation to the VoLTE packets.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods and systems for generating reference signals from radio signals received from a large-coverage access component, such as a base station. The radio signals are received, analyzed, and selected based on the analysis. The selected signals are processed by an oscillator to filter out abnormalities. Consequently, a reference signal is generated that is encapsulated into packets and delivered to one or more small-coverage access components using the Precision Timing Protocol or some other protocol that is useable by the small-coverage access components. The small-coverage access components comprise one or more of a femtocell or a picocell.

Abstract: A wireless communication device maintains a communication contact. The wireless communication device receives media session quality data for the communication contact. The wireless communication device receives a request for a media session with the communication contact and responsively identifies estimated media session quality with the communication contact based on the media session quality data for the communication contact. The wireless communication device displays a session activation icon for the media session request that visually indicates the estimated media session quality for the media session with the communication contact. The wireless communication device receives a user selection of the session activation icon and responsively establishes the media session with the communication contact.

Abstract: A method of providing customized delivery of applications to a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method comprises installing a plurality of stub application on the UE, presenting the stub applications on the user interface as if each stub application is a full application, and monitoring requests for full applications and time of subsequent installation of full applications initiated by user input. In response to passage of a predefined time period, the method further includes storing a list of recommended full applications, generating an application programming interface call sequence, initiating at least one application programming interface call from the call sequence, receiving the new stub application in response, and supplanting one of the plurality of stub application with the new stub application.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media, for reducing transitions between active and idle states are provided. In some embodiments, transition data indicating transitions between an active state and an idle state associated with a mobile device is received. Thereafter, an idle state pattern that indicates a pattern of an idle state associated with the mobile device is identified. Based on the idle state pattern, an inactivity timer update corresponding with the idle state pattern is provided to at least one communication tower. The inactivity timer update provides a time duration or time duration adjustment to be applied by the at least one communication tower for use in detecting a transition from an active state to an idle state.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) registers with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The UE registers with an Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over the LTE network. The UE registers with a Wireless Fidelity (WIF) network. The UE receives a status request from the LTE network responsive to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite for the UE received at the IMS. The UE transfers a status response to the LTE network that indicates the WIFI network responsive to the status request. The UE receives the SIP invite from the IMS over the WIFI network. The UE exchanges user data for the media session over the WIFI network.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software to control wireless communication policies and rules based on congestion. In one example, a method of operating a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network includes, in a LTE base station, identifying congestion data for one or more communicating wireless communication devices, and identifying that the congestion data meets a congestion criteria. The method further includes, in the LTE base station and responsive to meeting the congestion criteria, setting an explicit congestion notification (ECN) flag for a wireless communication device communication, and transferring the ECN flag for delivery to a LTE gateway. The method further provides, in the LTE gateway, receiving the ECN flag, and identifying a congestion policy for at least one wireless communication device communicating with the LTE base station.

Abstract: An Internet Protocol (IP) router provides location information for an emergency communication session. The IP router receives a base station identifier associated with a request for the emergency communication session. The IP router selects a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) based on the base station identifier. The IP router determines a PSAP type and a network type for the selected PSAP. The IP router transfers a location request for delivery to a location control system and receives location information transferred from the location control system. The IP router converts the location information into PSAP signaling used by the selected PSAP based on the PSAP and network type. The IP router transfers the converted location information for delivery to the selected PSAP.
