Abstract: Enabling machine-to-machine communication for digital assistants can include initiating a call with a called device, generating audio stream data having a first instance of audio and a first spoken command, which can be provided to the called device. A second instance of audio stream data can be received from the called device, can include a second spoken command, and can be analyzed to determine if it includes assistant signature data. If the second instance of audio stream data includes the assistant signature data, the devices can switch to machine-to-machine communications.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards network slice pre-configuration for cellular communication systems, including 5G and subsequent generation cellular communication systems. Network equipment can be preconfigured to identify whether a network slice identifier included in a network communication belongs to a group of network slice identifiers. If so, the network equipment can process the network communication either according to a network slice rule that corresponds specifically to the network slice identifier, or according to a default group network slice rule for the group to which the network slice identifier belongs. Different groups of network slice identifiers can be associated with different sets of group network slice rules which can be arranged to reduce the work of setting up network slice identifiers in various network slicing scenarios.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a routing device in a network, the routing device including an ingress/egress linecard; another linecard; a fabric; a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of maintaining a forwarding information base (FIB) for routes through the routing device; moving low-volume routes of the FIB to the another linecard; and moving high-volume routes of the FIB to the ingress/egress linecard, wherein the ingress/egress linecard looks up a route of an incoming data packet, determines whether the incoming data packet bears a high-volume route prefix, forwards the incoming data packet bearing the high-volume route prefix through the fabric and out of the routing device, and sends the incoming data packet bearing a low-volume route prefix through the fabric to the another linecard, and wherein the another linecard forwards the incoming data packet received from the ingress/egress linecard out of the routing device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes receiving a selection of a learning activity by a student, retrieving a profile for the learning activity, retrieving a profile for the student, determining that no conflict exists between the profile for the learning activity and the profile for the student, and delivering, in response to the determining, the learning activity to a user endpoint device of the student, wherein the delivering includes granting the user endpoint device of the student a control over a network connected device that is located in a separate physical environment from the user endpoint device of the student.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes providing, by a processing system including a processor, a controller function for a user plane function (UPF) of a communication network; the controller function facilitates automated procedures for authentication, deployment, configuration, testing, and/or controlling availability of the UPF, independent of a source of the UPF. The method also includes providing, by the processing system, an interface to facilitate communication between the controller function and the UPF; the controller function uses the interface to facilitate the procedures. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having an input port and multiple output ports adapted for connection to multiple passive optical network (PON) segments. The device includes an optical power splitting device in communication between the input port and the multiple output ports and adapted to provide divided portions of an optical signal received at the input port to the PON segments via the output ports. The device includes optical delay devices in optical communication between the optical power splitting device and at least a portion of the multiple output ports. The optical delay devices provide distinguishable delay values, that delay the divided portions of the optical signal, the distinguishable delay values facilitating associations of the PON segments to the output ports based on optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) measurements obtained via the input port. Other embodiments are disclosed.
