Abstract: Automatic onboarding of a device onto a cellular network may be provided through a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Subsequent to a device connecting to a first network (e.g., the WLAN), information associated with the device and the first network may be received. One or more tags may be generated and an intent profile may be defined for the device based on the received information, where the intent profile may indicate at least a second network (e.g., the cellular network) that the device is enabled to connect with and one or more policies associated with the connection. The tags and intent profile may be transmitted to a service provider platform, and an onboarding profile template identified using the tags and the intent profile may be received from the service provider platform. The onboarding profile template may be provided to the device to enable connection to the second network.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for employing an adaptive mechanism in communications among network devices. Adaptive mechanism techniques may include adapting network operations relative to characteristics of devices and/or network access technologies or mechanisms used in the network. Adaptation may help to accommodate a wider variety of types of devices. For instance, adaptive mechanism techniques may include determining, based on characteristics of a device in the network, a forwarding mechanism to be used at an access device to forward data traffic from the device to another device via the network. As such, adaptive mechanism techniques may provide more efficient integration of devices within a complex network, thereby improving network operations.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for service chaining in fabric networks such that hardware resources can be preserved without service nodes needing additional capabilities. The techniques may include storing a first configuration associated with a first VRF instance of a service forwarding node that is connected to a first service of a service chain sequence. The first configuration may indicate an identifier and a type associated with a second service of the service chain sequence where traffic is to be sent after the first service. Additionally, the techniques may also include storing a second configuration associated with a second VRF instance of the service forwarding node that is connected to the second service. The second configuration may indicate that the second service is a last service of the service chain sequence. When traffic is received at the service forwarding node, the service forwarding node can determine whether the traffic is pre-service traffic or post-service traffic.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for using a sponsor as a proxy for multi-factor authentication of a first user account for a first user when a primary multi-factor authentication mechanism is unavailable to the first user account, comprising registering the sponsor in a multi-factor authentication chain of trust associated with the first user account; requesting verification of an identity of the first user from the sponsor; receiving, from the sponsor, a verification of the identity of the first user; and granting access to a service to the first user account.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamically onboarding a UE between private 5G networks. In one aspect, a private 5G (P5G) federation system can receive a request from a user device for registration with a serving private 5G network, which is part of a P5G federation system. The P5G federation system can further determine that the user device is authenticated with a home private 5G network of the user device, which is also part of the P5G federation system. The P5G federation system can transmit, to the serving private 5G network, a security profile of the user device that is received from the home private 5G network. As follows, the P5G federation system can facilitate onboarding of the user device to the serving private 5G network with the security profile.

Abstract: Wireless infrastructure upgrading may be provided. An Access Point (AP) may be caused to decline new association requests received from client devices not associated with the AP. Next, the AP may be caused to instruct client devices associated with the AP that detect a signal level from the AP to be below their roaming margin to roam away from the AP. Then the power of the signal level from the AP may be decreased by a predetermined amount. Causing the AP to instruct client devices associated with the AP that detect the signal level from the AP to be below their roaming margin to roam away from the AP and decreasing the power of the signal level from the AP may be repeated until the power of the signal level from the AP is at a predetermined level.

Abstract: Load balancing for saturated wireless may be provided. A computing device may determine that an Access Point (AP) has reached a saturation point. A first Service Device (SD) having a first SD coverage area that overlaps an AP coverage area associated with the AP may be identified. Then a license to operate within a frequency spectrum segment for the first SD coverage area may be obtained. A plurality of user devices may be moved from the AP to the first SD. The first SD may then service the plurality of user devices using at least a portion of the frequency spectrum segment.

Abstract: Techniques for federated service registries are provided. A first access server determines a first plurality of services available within a local network associated with the first access server, as well as a second plurality of services available at one or more remote networks. A request for a first service is received from a client device, where the first service is not included in the first plurality of services and is included in the second plurality of services. A tunnel is established from the client device to one or more remote networks.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing transference of a user equipment to a 5G network when a voice call is terminated. The systems and method can include receiving, at a mobility management entity, a voice call termination message from a serving gateway, determining, by the mobility management entity, whether the user equipment includes a 5G subscription and 5G capability based on the voice call termination message, and providing, by the mobility management entity, a handover message to the user equipment to initiate a handover to the 5G network based on the determining of whether the user equipment includes the 5G subscription and 5G capability.
