Abstract: An example method is provided and includes receiving a packet associated with a flow, determining a tunnel identifier for the flow, and determining a flow identifier for the flow. The method includes associating the flow identifier and the tunnel identifier to an Internet protocol (IP) address to generate a binding to be used for a network address and port translation (NAPT). In other embodiments, a routing decision is executed based on the binding between the identifiers and the IP address. The flow identifier can be a context identifier (CID), and the tunnel identifier can be a softwire tunnel ID. In yet other embodiments, the packet can be tagged as part of an encapsulation operation, which includes providing information about a network location at which the network address and port translation is to be executed.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process of evaluating any number of different identity providers (IDPs) and their respective set of credentials that are used to authenticate corresponding users to assist with the onboarding of the different IDPs in connection with Wi-Fi identity federations. In particular, the process allows a person's electronic identity and attributes (stored across one or more IDPs) to be determined once using a standard. Once trust has been established for the user, that trust can then be utilized across a number of different systems (e.g., Single-sign on). The same trust determination can be used without the need for the authenticity of the user identity to be re-evaluated with each new access request.

Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for validating and committing a shared O-RU configuration via a shared O-RU Operator. The shared O-RU Operator validates a partitioned configuration received from a tenant operator, with the ability to indicate to the tenant operator that the partitioned configuration is conformant to agreed-upon sharing rules and then commits the shared configuration to the shared O-RU. The shared O-RU operator shares the outcome of the commit operation to the tenant operator via defined operational-data that can be read by the tenant operator. A single radio in O-RAN is shared by multiple different operators and enables a neutral host to deploy a radio unit and then have that attached to different operators networks.

Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for providing emergency telecommunication services and application driven profile prioritization for wireless local area network architectures. In one instance, a method can include facilitating, for an emergency call initiated by a wireless device, connection of the wireless device with a radio node; providing a location tag to the wireless device that is associated with a location of the wireless device; obtaining, by an emergency services identity provider, a session initiation protocol (SIP) registration request message from the wireless device that includes the location tag; determining, by the emergency services identity provider, a location of the wireless device based, at least in part, on the location tag; and facilitating the emergency call for the wireless device with a public safety answering point (PSAP) that is determined based on the location of the wireless device in which the location is provided to the PSAP.
