Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory, a communication interface, and one or more processors. The one or more processors operate to identify a plurality of base stations available for connection via the communication interface and the plurality of antenna components. Virtual user equipment (UE) are connected to the two or more base stations. Data flows for the device are identified. The identified data flows are assigned to the virtual UEs based on the identified network characteristics.

Abstract: A method is provided for using virtual subscriber identity modules (vSIMs) for client devices. A network device receives a selection of network services to be associated with a virtual subscriber identity module (vSIM); initiates creation of a blockchain including a vSIM certificate for the network services; associates the vSIM certificate with a user account; receives, from a client device associated with the user account, an access request for the vSIM certificate; activates, in response to the access request, the client device for access to the network services; and provides instructions to update the blockchain in response to the activating. Thus, the vSIM can be retrieved and used by any one of different devices associated with the user account or loaned to other users.

Abstract: A system includes a phased array antenna. The phased array antenna includes a rear panel that has: a first array of phase shift elements; and a second array of rear antenna elements. The phased array antenna also includes a front panel that has a third array of front antenna elements. Each of the front antenna elements is electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the rear antenna elements through one of the phase shift elements. When the second array of rear antenna elements receives a radio signal from a base station and the first array of phase shift elements receives an optical control beam from the base station, the third array of antenna elements radiates an output radio signal in a direction indicated by the optical control beam.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory, a communication interface, a plurality of antenna components, and one or more processors. The one or more processors operate to identify a plurality of base stations available for connection via the communication interface and the plurality of antenna components. Virtual user equipment (UE) for two or more of the identified plurality of base stations are allocated and the UE device connects to the two or more base stations using the respective virtual UEs. Network characteristics are identified for the connections with the plurality of base stations. Data flows for the device are identified. The identified data flows are assigned to the virtual UEs based on the identified network characteristics.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may determine its location with a high degree of precision, beyond the capability of other current methodologies. Specifically, a UE device may obtain High Precision (HIP) coordinates of its location based on Random Access Channel (RACH) messages that the UE device exchanges with multiple wireless stations. Using RACH messages to obtain HIP coordinates imposes little communication overhead or computational burden on the UE device and the network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors operate to determine one or more of a signal strength or signal quality for each of a plurality of networks available for connection via the communication interface and the antenna assembly. Virtual user equipment (VUE) for two or more of the identified plurality of networks are allocated and the UE device connects to the two or more networks using the respective VUEs.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a cellular device-satellite communications service is provided. The service may provide establishment, maintenance, and termination of uplink and downlink connections via a satellite network, a terrestrial network, and both based on network information and satellite information. The service may also provide scheduling for user plane traffic via the uplink and downlink connections.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the dynamic selection of configurable resources in an environment that includes a hierarchical or otherwise differentiated arrangement of configurable resources. The environment may include, or may be implemented by, a Distributed Resource Network (“DRN”), which may include hardware or virtual resources that may be configured, including the instantiation of containers, virtual machines, Virtualized Network Functions (“VNFs”), or the like. The DRN may be hierarchical in that some resources of the DRN may provide services to, and/or may otherwise be accessible to, a greater quantity of elements of the DRN or some other network.
