Abstract: Resource-sensitive token-based access point selection is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can generate a request for resources that can be shared with an selection component remote from the UE. The request for resources can be generated independent of the UE receiving information about an access point (AP) in range of the UE. The selection component can pair the UE with an AP resource based on AP data and UE data. The selection component can generate a token comprising information related to the pairing. The UE can receive the token via a device other than the AP or via the AP. The token can be employed by the UE to initiate a link to the AP to enable use of the AP resource by the UE. The link can be resource sensitive in view of the request for resources and available AP resources.

Abstract: Wireless pairing is automatically performed based on a purchase of a wireless product. When the wireless product is purchased, a unique product identifier and/or an account number (such as a credit card number) may be used to obtain one or more corresponding wireless network security credentials. Once the wireless network security credentials are identified, the wireless product may be paired to a wireless network based on the wireless network security credentials.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a first communication device including an application based on contemporaneous access of a first service and second service functions, wherein the application communicates via first and second user data traffic flows associated with the first and second service functions. An association is facilitated of the first user data traffic flow with a first logical network slice, wherein the first user data traffic flow is conveyed by the first logical network slice. An association is facilitated of the second user data traffic flow with a second logical network slice, wherein the first and second user data traffic flows are conveyed contemporaneously by the first and second logical network slices. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A biometrics hub may establish a first schedule for processing first biometric data of a user, establishing a second schedule for processing second biometric data of the user, storing the first biometric data that is received from a first biometric device via a first persistent session, and store the second biometric data that is received from a second biometric device via a second persistent session. The biometrics hub may further transmit at least one of the first biometric data or the second biometric data to an authorized remote device in accordance with the first schedule or the second schedule. In one example, the transmitting includes establishing a session with the authorized remote device, sending the at least one of the first biometric data or the second biometric data to the authorized remote device via the session with the authorized remote device, and closing the session with the authorized remote device.

Abstract: A system can be operable to receive an automated call from a communications device, determine whether preferences associated with a called party identity), is applicable to the automated call, and determine whether a condition that precludes acceptance of the automated call is present. The determination of whether the condition is present can be based on information received from a sensory device coupled to the user device. In response to the condition being determined to be present, the automated call can be denied.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a dynamic access slice pooling system with software defined network (SDN) controlled capabilities in a 5G wireless communications system. A radio access network device can have one or more slices instantiated on the device that facilitate various services being requested by user equipment devices. A slice can have one or more virtual network functions that are specialized for particular services. When a user equipment device requests a service, the service can be assigned to a slice based on the type of service being requested. If the type of slice associated with the service is not currently operational, the SDN controller on the radio access network device can instantiate a new slice with the virtual network functions selected for the service being requested.
