Abstract: A UE can enable a VoWIFI service, receive hidden SSID information, and register with a core network via a RAN. The UE can monitor a first signal strength of a first signal from the RAN. The UE can scan for a second signal from a WLAN, and when found, can measure a second signal strength of the second signal. The UE can determine whether the first signal strength is at or below a first threshold. If so, and if the WLAN is untrusted, the UE can probe it with the hidden SSID information. If the untrusted WLAN responds, the UE can send an access request to an untrusted WLAN access point. The UE can receive, via the untrusted WLAN access point, an authentication challenge from an ePDG. If the UE passes the authentication challenge, the UE can register with the core network via the untrusted WLAN and the ePDG.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards a short message service (SMS) congestion manager that can evaluate, predict, and mitigate SMS congestion. The SMS congestion manager can be implemented within a short message services function (SMSF) of a fifth generation (5G) or subsequent generation cellular network. The SMS congestion manager can monitor a volume of non-access stratum (NAS) SMS messages in order to detect potential overload conditions wherein the volume of messages exceeds a capability of a network function. In response to detecting potential overload conditions, the SMS congestion manager can inhibit messages directed to the network function in order to prevent overloads from developing. The SMS congestion manager can use machine learning to learn to detect the potential overload conditions as well as to learn actions to take to address the potential overload conditions.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example: obtaining for each of a plurality of subscribers to a wireless service that uses a licensed radio spectrum a respective user profile; determining based upon a particular user profile of a particular subscriber that the particular subscriber has access to a Citizen Band Radio Spectrum (CBRS), resulting in a determination; responsive to the determination being that the particular subscriber has access to the CBRS, generating an instruction to a user device of the particular subscriber to utilize the CBRS; and transmitting the instruction to the user device of the particular subscriber. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining CBRS information from SAS equipment, where the CBRS information includes channel assignments associated with different coverage locations; and providing the channel assignments to one or more EMSs according to the CBRS information to enable CBRS devices to provide communication services including handoffs via the channel assignments to one or more end user devices in coverage areas of the one or more CBRS device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

CPC classification number: H04W8/20
Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device comprising: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: receiving, based upon a first communication between first user equipment and a first wireless network, a first temporary identifier of the first user equipment; correlating the first temporary identifier to a first permanent identifier of the first user equipment; tracking a first amount of data that is carried by the first wireless network and that is associated with the first user equipment, resulting in first tracked data usage, wherein the tracking is based upon the correlating of the first temporary identifier to the first permanent identifier; determining whether the first tracked data usage exceeds a first threshold, resulting in a first determination; and responsive to the first determination being that the first tracked data usage does not exceed the first threshold, providing a first reward to a first operator of the first wireless network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example: determining whether a Subscriber Identify Module (SIM) profile that supports communication via Citizen Band Radio Spectrum (CBRS) is present on a device, resulting in a determination; responsive to the determination being that the SIM profile that supports the communication via the CBRS is present on the device, providing to a user via an interface an element that permits the user to select enabling of communication via the CBRS, disabling of communication via the CBRS, or any combination thereof; receiving from the interface a selection by the user, wherein the selection indicates either an instruction by the user to enable the communication via the CBRS, or an instruction by the user to disable the communication via the CBRS; and responsive to the selection: enabling the communication via the CBRS in a first case that the selection indicates the instruction by the user to enable the communication via the CBRS; or disabling the communication via the CBRS in a second case that the selection indicates the instruction by the user to disable the communication via the CBRS. Other embodiments are disclosed.
