Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized, network-based framework that provides enhanced algorithmic mechanisms for improving GSM location determinations for cell tower communications. The disclosed framework's operations can provide improved visit determinations/estimates and increased value for a user's wireless/cellular data, whereby optimized parameters from and/or of the signals associated with a user device (e.g., mobile device) and tower radio communications therebetween can be leveraged to discern the POIs a user has visited and/or is currently visiting. The location tracking of the user, within a predisposed uncertainty sector correlated among the user's device communications with corresponding radio towers, provides network coverage to track specific locations among POIs for which the user has visited and/or is currently located.

Abstract

A base station determines a latency requirement of a user equipment device (UE), and receives latency measurements associated with multiple neighboring cells or cell sectors having coverage areas within a certain proximity to the base station. The base station measures a latency associated with a first cell or cell sector, having a coverage area generated by the base station, that is currently serving the UE. The base station triggers a mobility event for the UE, based on the UE's latency requirement, the measured latency of the first cell or cell sector, and the latency measurements associated with the multiple neighboring cells or cell sectors, to a selected one of the multiple neighboring cells or cell sectors.

Abstract

A system described herein may identify traffic associated with a User Equipment (“UE”) that is connected to a first network. The UE may maintain a plurality of UE identities via one or more SIM (“Subscriber Identification Module”) cards, Universal Integrated Circuit Cards (“UICCs”), etc. The system may determine, based on one or more policies, that the traffic is not authorized via the first network. In some situations, the traffic may not be authorized if the first network does not support a type, service, etc. of the traffic. The system may identify a second network, based on the one or more policies, via which the traffic is authorized, and may indicate the second network to the UE. The UE may automatically (e.g., without user intervention) switch to a particular UE identity that is associated with the second network, and may output the traffic via the second network using such UE identity.

Abstract

Systems and methods described herein enable association of an application with a line of service on Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) devices. A user equipment (UE) device receives a command to execute an application that requires a mobile network connection. The UE device detects multiple available subscriber identity modules (SIMs), wherein each of the multiple available SIMs is associated with a different line of service. The UE device extracts an application identifier for the application, and determines, based on the application identifier, that the application is associated with a designated line of service. The UE devices initiates a session connection request for the application using a SIM, of the multiple available SIMs, associated with the designated line of service.

Abstract

Systems and methods provide user interface (UI) automation for multiple types of devices and applications. A computing device stores an objective for automated manipulation of a UI of a user device and conducts an iterative sequence to achieve the objective. The iterative sequence includes capturing current state information of the UI, wherein the current state information includes text and an image of the UI; sending multimodal input to a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system, wherein the multimodal input includes the image of the UI, a text prompt, and the objective; receiving, from the AI system, a predicted next action for the UI based on the multimodal input; initiating a programmatic action to implement the predicted next action on the UI; and recording the programmatic action. The computing device generates, based on the iterative sequence, a UI automation model associated with achieving the objective on the UI.

Abstract

In some implementations, a first network device may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request for a network resource. The first network device may determine, based on the request for the network resource, a prioritization associated with the UE, wherein the prioritization relates to a quality of service (QoS) attribute of the UE or a message priority of a message associated with the request for the network resource. The first network device may determine that a resource availability of resources at the first network device is less than an availability threshold. The first network device may transmit a preemption message to at least one of the UE or a second network device, wherein the preemption message indicates an interruption to one or more network resources associated with the UE or one or more other UEs associated with the second network device.

Abstract

In some implementations, an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) entity may receive, from a home subscriber service (HSS) or a unified data management (UDM), an identifier associated with a government emergency telecommunications service (GETS) subscription, wherein the identifier includes a selection prefix. The IMS entity may identify that a call is associated with GETS based on the identifier. The IMS identifier may transmit, to a network node, an indication that the call is associated with GETS.

Abstract

A device of a first network, to which a User Equipment (“UE”) is wirelessly connected, may receive, a request to access a service provided by a second network. The device may establish, based on the request, a user plane connection between the first network and the second network while the UE remains wirelessly connected to the first network. The first network may receive, from the UE, traffic that is associated with the service, and may output the received traffic to the second network via the user plane connection. The first and second networks may communicate via a connection, such as a tunnel, via respective User Plane Functions (“UPFs”) of the first and second networks. The UPFs may communicate via an N9 interface. The service may be provided by an edge computing device of the second network.

Abstract

A method, a network device, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an gateway type monitoring event service. The gateway type monitoring event service may include providing a current gateway type associated with an end device and a network to an application function. The current gateway type may be used by the application function to perform a network operation or procedure.

Abstract

A device may authenticate a first application provided to a first client and a second application provided to a second client. The device may receive a communication initiated by the first client via the first application, and may provide the communication to the second application. The device may enable the communication to be answered by the second client via the second application, and may establish a data channel for the communication. The device may enable a request to grant access to the second application as an avatar to be provided to the second application, and may enable the request to be accepted by the second client via the second application. The device may enable the first application to provide avatar volumetric reconstruction data and an avatar position and rotation to the second application, and may enable the second application to provide foveated equirectangular data to the first application.

Abstract

The disclosed embodiments involve recording performance metrics for network connections in a centralized database, storing network connection data in a global registry across multiple data centers, detecting backlogs at specific data centers linked to network elements and connections, and generating updated connection assignments. These assignments include identifiers for the involved data centers and connections. Upon receiving a connection assignment update notification, the method updates the network connection and communicates the first data center's connection state to the global registry.
