Abstract:
A computing device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a message from a user equipment (UE) device via a Mobility Management Entity (MME), wherein the computing device is configured as a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) device. The processor may be further configured to identify an application server associated with the message based on one or more application server identifiers included in the received message; map uplink data, included in the received message and associated with the identified application server, to an application programming interface (API) associated with the identified application server; and send the mapped uplink data to the identified application server using the API associated with the identified application server.
Abstract:
A computing device may include a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a request to generate a device group for a group of user equipment (UE) devices from an application server and identify a group of Home Subscriber Server (HSS) devices that store subscriber profiles for the group of UE devices. The processor may be further configured to send a request to a provisioning system to generate HSS subgroups in the group of HSS devices, with different HSS subgroups associated with different HSS devices and each HSS subgroup including at least one of the UE devices; receive, from the provisioning system, an indication that the HSS subgroups were generated; generate a mapping from the device group to the HSS subgroups; and process messages received from the application server for the device group based on the generated mapping.
Abstract:
A system in wireless core network obtains a group policy to support background data transfer for a group of user equipment (UEs) associated with a common network area identifier. The system maps the network area identifier to one or more of a mobility management entity (MME) device and a packet data network gateway (PGW) device. The system generates a configuration command to enforce the group policy by the one or more of the MME device or the PGW device and configures, based on the configuration command, the one or more of the MME device or the PGW device to enforce the group policy.
Abstract:
A network device may receive, a flow control request for a first device that is registered for an internet protocol (IP) pinhole service. The flow control request may include a device identifier associated with the first device and a private IP address. The network device may identify at least one of IP address information, port information, and pinhole rules. The network device may provide, to another network device, a flow control response that includes at least one of the IP address information, the port information, and the pinhole rules. The flow control response may cause the other network device to allow traffic flow through the firewall using at least one of the IP address information and the port information. The network device may provide a public IP address and a port identifier to a second device, allowing the second device to provide traffic to the first device.

Abstract:
Systems described herein use a group packet data network (PDN) to support communications from machine-type communications (MTC) devices on wireless networks. The systems assign a MTC device to a group with a group identifier, the group associating the MTC device, and other MTC devices, with a particular customer network; receive an attach request from the MTC device; retrieve, based on the attach request, the group identifier for the MTC device; configure a bearer path between the MTC device and the particular customer network, the bearer path including a group PDN that transports data packets from the MTC device, and the other MTC devices, between a serving gateway (SGW) and a PDN gateway (PGW); and send data packets from the MTC device over the group PDN.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for receiving a request from an end device to access a network; obtaining subscription data pertaining to the end device based on the request; determining whether to establish a default bearer during an attachment procedure based on at least one of the request or the subscription data; permitting attachment to the network without establishment of the default bearer based on determining not to establish the default bearer; and storing context data that indicates the end device is attached without the default bearer based on the permitting. Additionally, the method, the device, and the non-transitory storage medium provide for end device-side and network device-side setting up and tearing down of the default bearer subsequent to attachment.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein may enable a wireless telecommunications network to operate more efficiently by prohibiting communications towards User Equipment (UE) devices that are in a power saving mode. For example, a UE mode server may receive, from an information transfer server, a query regarding the availability of a particular UE to receive information. The UE mode server may determine whether the UE is currently in an active mode of operation or a power saving mode of operation. When the UE is in a power saving mode, the UE mode server may prohibit the information transfer server from having the information sent to the UE; however, when the UE is in an active mode, the UE mode server may permit the information transfer server to have the information to the UE.
Abstract:
A device is configured to receive an alarm message from a particular device that received a radio resource control request from a client device. The alarm message may indicate that a threshold access limit to an operator network is satisfied by the client device or that a particular protocol is being used by the client device. The device may determine a policy associated with the client device. The policy may indicate a policy rule associated with a policy action to be taken if the policy rule is violated. The device may determine the policy rule is violated based on the alarm message received from the particular device. The device may instruct the particular device to perform the policy action, by accepting or rejecting the radio resource control request, based on the policy rule being violated.
