Abstract: In one embodiment, a data sharing platform uses data associated with a data owner to share data via a plurality of sharing services, each sharing service in the plurality of sharing services providing a different type of data. The data sharing platform tracks access to each of the plurality of sharing services. The data sharing platform computes, based in part on the access to each of the plurality of sharing services, an importance metric for the data associated with the data owner. The data sharing platform provides an indication of the importance metric for display to the data owner.

Abstract: A method for routing in a quantum network is provided. The method may include receiving parameters including a fidelity with coherence decay time and an entanglement generation rate for each quantum node in a mesh quantum network by a controller, the controller being configured to communicate with each quantum node of a plurality of quantum nodes in the mesh quantum network. Each quantum node includes a quantum memory and a processor. The method may also include analyzing the fidelity with coherence decay time and the entanglement generation rate to yield a determination of a path fidelity with a path coherence decay time and a path entanglement generation rate between at least one pair of quantum nodes. The method may further include, based on the determination, selecting a quantum communication path from a source node to a destination node.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate fast roaming between a mobile network operator-public (MNO-public) wireless wide area (WWA) access network and an enterprise private WWA access network. In one example, a method is provided that may include generating, by an authentication node, authentication material for a user equipment (UE) based on the UE being connected to a public WWA access network, wherein the public WWA access network is associated with a mobile network operator, and the authentication node and the UE are associated with an enterprise entity; obtaining, by the authentication node, an indication that the UE is attempting to access a private WWA access network associated with the enterprise entity; and providing, by the authentication node, the authentication material for the UE, wherein the authentication material facilitates connection establishment between the UE and the private WWA access network.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide for the ability to combine policies in a manner that utilized policy purposes to generate a combined policy. In one example, a method includes obtaining, at a network entity of a network, a plurality of policies, wherein each policy is associated with a policy purpose defined by a policy originator; combining the plurality of policies by the network entity to generate a combined policy, wherein the combining is performed based on a ranking of policy purposes; and enforcing the combined policy at one or more policy enforcement entities of the network for one or more packet flows communicated between a client and the network.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, an interface between a user plane function (UPF) instance of a mobile network and a tunnel router endpoint of an enterprise software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) fabric is provided. The UPF instance may be part of a network slice that is (uniquely) associated with an enterprise of the enterprise SD-WAN. A plurality of mappings between policies associated with different QoS flows via the UPF instance and SD-WAN policies associated with different virtual private networks (VPNs) of the SD-WAN fabric may be maintained. Each VPN of the SD-WAN fabric may be associated with a different underlying transport mechanism that satisfies characteristics of a specific SD-WAN policy. Communications for user equipment (UE) in the mobile network may be facilitated across the SD-WAN fabric based on the policy mappings.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide multipath mobility via Domain Name System-as-an-Authoritative Source (DNS-AS) techniques. In one example, a method includes obtaining, by a multipath policy decision element, a plurality of multipath policy recommendations for an application, wherein the plurality of multipath policy recommendations are obtained from one or more multipath policy recommendation elements; combining the plurality of multipath policy recommendations to generate a policy enforcement decision, wherein the policy enforcement decision identifies, at least in part, one or more network paths that are to be utilized for one or more packet flows associated with the application, wherein each of the one or more network paths is associated with an access type; and enforcing the policy enforcement decision for one or more packet flows associated with the application.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for downlink packet replication to support handovers. In one example, downlink packet replication occurs on a fabric node in an S1AP handover scenario. In another example, downlink packet replication occurs on a source Access Point (AP) using a target AP as a secondary AP in an S1AP handover scenario. In yet another example, downlink packet replication occurs on a source AP using packet encapsulation in an S1AP handover scenario. In still another example, downlink packet replication occurs on a source AP in an X2 handover scenario. Similar techniques are provided for any suitable telecommunications/cellular technology.
