Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may identify an excess utilization of a telecommunication network by a plurality of mobile monitoring devices. The plurality of mobile monitoring devices may be of a same mobile monitoring device type. In addition, the plurality of mobile monitoring devices may be associated with a plurality of users and wherein a primary function of the plurality of mobile monitoring devices is inaccessible to control by the plurality of users. The processing system may then determine that the excess utilization is not caused by the primary function of the plurality of mobile monitoring devices and perform at least one remedial action in response to the detecting of the excess utilization that is not caused by the primary function of the plurality of mobile monitoring devices.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations including receiving a call; selecting a next carrier to handoff the call; generating a call data record (CDR) for the handoff to the next carrier; encrypting the CDR using a call encryption key, thereby creating an encrypted CDR; encrypting the encrypted CDR using a committee encryption key, thereby creating a double encrypted CDR; recording the double encrypted CDR to a blockchain; and sending the call encryption key to the next carrier. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Described is accurate reporting of transportation-related incidents based on the wireless network positioning enhancements that can locate a device on the order of one meter or less. Upon encountering an incident, such as sensed road damage, an accident or another vehicle that is possibly in distress, a report is automatically generated and wirelessly sent to a smart transportation infrastructure server. The report includes or is augmented by the wireless network with accurate incident location data, along with incident type (e.g., pothole, or accident). Depending on the type of incident, the smart transportation infrastructure server can take appropriate actions, including summoning help, notifying the department of transportation of the need for road repairs and so forth. Other actions can include predicting traffic jams resulting from an incident, which can be used to notify other parties such as a wireless network to allocate additional resources/balance load accordingly.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards an adapting radio access network coverage for location-based alerts. A group of cells and/or cell sectors can be selected for sending an alert, according to selection techniques described herein. The selection techniques can provide a target level of cellular coverage for a geographic area, while avoiding over-inclusion of cells and consequent dissemination of alerts to subscribers outside the geographic area. The target level of coverage can comprise a desired amount of service overlap, to achieve a corresponding level of confidence that subscribers within the geographic area will receive an alert. The selection techniques can furthermore close identified coverage gaps within the geographic area.

Abstract: A method for bundling network functions as a single microservice in a cloud environment. A service deployment manager may acquire subscriber location information associated with a subscriber or a subscriber profile associated with the subscriber. Moreover, the service deployment manager may utilize the subscriber location information or the subscriber profile to select a cloud location. For example, the cloud location may be based on load, geographical proximity, service profile, etc.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to enhanced smart home services. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a home gateway device can capture, from a home device, home data associated with home user activity conducted via a fixed communications network. The home gateway device can determine, based upon the home data, a home data profile. The home gateway device can receive a mobility data profile determined by a mobility data profiler based upon mobility data associated with mobile user activity conducted via a mobile communications network. The home gateway device can determine, based upon the mobility data profile and the home data profile, a policy for the home device. In some embodiments, the home device is an IoT device. In other embodiments, the home device is a media device such as a television, a video streaming device, a music streaming device, or a video game device.
