Abstract: A system described herein provides for the secure maintaining and providing of information, such as public keys used in Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) techniques or other techniques, using a distributed ledger (e.g., “blockchain”) system. A first device may output a first request to a second device to establish a communication session between the first device and the second device, where the request includes a first value. The first device may receive a second request from the second device, including a second value, to establish the communication session between the first device and the second device. The first device may determine, based on a comparison of the first and second values, that the first device should initiate an establishment procedure of a blockchain associated with the communication session between the first device and the second device, and may accordingly output a blockchain establishment message to a set of devices.

Abstract: A device described herein may maintain a distributed ledger that is also maintained by at least one other device, where the distributed ledger includes at least a particular record. The device may receive a first record and a second record for recordation to the distributed ledger, where the first and second records each include a reference to the particular record, and where the first and second records further respectively include first and second values. The device may compare, based on the first and second records each including the reference to the same particular record, the first value to the second value. The device may determine, based on the comparing, a sequence of the first and second records, and may maintain information indicating that the distributed ledger includes the first and second records. The information may further indicate the determined sequence of the first and second records.

Abstract: A device described herein may maintain a distributed ledger that is also maintained by at least one other device. The device may receive a record for recordation to the distributed ledger, and may add the record to the distributed ledger without communicating with the at least one other device to validate (e.g., cross-validate) the record. The device may receive a request for information included in the record and, after receiving the request for the information included in the record, communicate with one or more devices, of the at least one other device, to validate the record. The device may determine, based on communicating with the one or more devices, that the record is valid; and may output, in response to the request and based on determining that the record is valid, the requested information included in the record.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a user equipment, a token request associated with an application, wherein the token request is associated with a device identifier. The device may generate a device token for the application and the user equipment. The device may provide, using the device identifier, the device token to the user equipment to enable a user to access the application via an application platform. The device may receive, from the application platform, a slice request for a network slice of a network that is to be used for an application session. The device may determine that the user equipment is associated with the application session based on the device token and the device identifier. The device may configure a network slice instance of the network slice. The device may determine a user equipment route selection policy for the application session according to the network slice instance.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide for secure group messaging between multiple participant devices, in which two or more of the participant devices support blockchain-based techniques for the secure sharing of keys used to secure the group messaging, and in which one or more of the participant devices (e.g., a third device) do not support such techniques. A key escrow system may maintain keys associated with the third device, and the other devices of the group messaging system may retrieve such keys from the key escrow system. Such other devices may attempt to obtain keys associated with the third device from a blockchain and may retrieve such keys from the key escrow system when the retrieval from the blockchain is unsuccessful. The other devices may additionally share their respective keys to the blockchain and the key escrow system, or the key escrow system may “pull” such keys from the blockchain.

Abstract: A system described herein provides for the secure maintaining and providing of information, such as public keys used in Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) techniques or other techniques, using a distributed ledger (e.g., “blockchain”) system with a fallback to a key escrow system. A first device may encrypt a communication using a first key, and output the encrypted communication to a second device. The first device may attempt to record a second key, that is associated with the first key, to the blockchain system, and may determine that the second key was not recorded to the blockchain system based on the attempt. The first device may output the second key to a third device based on determining that the second key was not recorded to the blockchain system. The second device may obtain the second key from the third device, and use the second key to decrypt the encrypted communication.

Abstract: A user device registers with a proxy-call session control function device (P-CSCF) associated with an Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS). The user device forwards a request to the P-CSCF requesting a session via the IMS for an IMS call. If a response to the request is not received from the P-CSCF during a time period after forwarding the request, the user device attempts to newly register with the P-CSCF. If the new registration is successful, the user device re-forwards the request to the P-CSCF. Otherwise, if the new registration with the P-CSCF is unsuccessful, the user device registers with a different P-CSCF and forwards the request to the second P-CSCF.

Abstract: A device determines whether a PTT application is authenticated to access a first API and a second API, and prevents the PTT application from accessing the first and second APIs when the PTT application is not authenticated. The device permits the PTT application to access the first and second APIs when the PTT application is authenticated, and modifies, via the first API, a timer that dictates when the device checks for traffic received from a network. The device establishes, via the second API, a data connection with the network, and determines, based on the data connection, a QoS framework for the network. The device utilizes the PTT application and the timer to establish a PTT session with another device via the network, and prioritizes, based on the QoS framework, PTT traffic provided in the PTT session with the other device.
Abstract translation: 设备确定PTT应用是否被认证以访问第一API和第二API,并且当PTT应用未被认证时,防止PTT应用访问第一和第二API。 当PTT应用被认证时,该设备允许PTT应用访问第一和第二API,并且经由第一API修改定时器,该定时器指示设备何时检查从网络接收到的流量。 该设备通过第二API与网络建立数据连接,并且基于数据连接确定网络的QoS框架。 该设备利用PTT应用和定时器经由网络与另一设备建立PTT会话,并且基于QoS框架优先考虑PTT会话中提供的PTT流量与另一设备。

Abstract: A user device may receive a traffic category and/or slice usage policy, and may provide a request for an application. The user device may receive the application with a traffic category and/or slice usage requirement, and may install the application on the user device. The user device may subscribe to traffic categories and/or slices, and may receive approval to utilize the traffic categories and/or slices. The user device may provide, by the application and to an operating system, a connection request for a particular traffic category and/or slice, and may determine whether the application is approved for the particular traffic category and/or slice. The device may provide, to a modem, the connection request and traffic descriptors for the particular traffic category and/or slice based on the application being approved, and may establish a protocol data unit session, for the application, utilizing the particular traffic category and/or slice.
