    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing performance of narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) devices in a wireless wide area network (WWAN) are described. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a NB-IoT base station in an in-band deployment mode to operate within a WWAN. The NB-IoT base station is configured to use a physical resource block of the WWAN for communicating with a plurality of NB-IoT devices. The method includes causing a reduction of a power level for a transmission from an initial power level to a first reduced power level. The method includes obtaining parameters associated with performance and throughput for the WWAN and comparing the parameters to a quality threshold. Based on the comparison of the parameters to the threshold, the method includes determining whether or not to reduce the power level for the physical resource block from the first reduced power level to a second reduced power level.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a server generates expected levels of capability associated with possible combinations of settings for first and second adjustable parameters for an aspect of a software image feature. The server receives an indication of a desired level of capability for the aspect of the software image feature and, based on the indication, identifies a particular expected level of capability associated with a particular possible combination of the settings for the first and second adjustable parameters. The particular expected level of capability is closer to a desired level of capability for an aspect of a software image feature than the other expected levels of capability associated with the possible combinations of the settings for the first and second adjustable parameters. The server produces a software image that includes the particular possible combination of the settings for the first and second adjustable parameters.

    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable identifying anomalies in a network. For example, in various implementations, a method of identifying anomalies in a network is performed by a network node. In various implementations, the network node includes one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations, the method includes generating a characteristic indicator that characterizes a device type based on communications associated with a first device of the device type. In various implementations, the method includes determining, based on communications associated with the first device, a performance indicator that indicates a performance of the first device. In various implementations, the method includes synthesizing an anomaly indicator as a function of the performance indicator in relation to the characteristic indicator.

    Abstract: A server receives a certificate signing request and onboarding information for an applicant device, and identifies a customer associated with the applicant device based on an applicant device identifier and a database identifiers associated with customers. The device determines a registered device associated with the customer is a trusted device, a location trust value for the applicant device based on a geolocation proximity between the applicant device and the trusted device, and an environment trust value for the applicant device based on a proximity in a network topology between the applicant device and the trusted device. The device further determines a trust score for the applicant device based on the location trust value and the environment trust value, and sends a signed certificate to the applicant device over the network when the trust score for the applicant device exceeds a threshold.

    Abstract: In various implementations, a method includes receiving a request to establish an end-to-end encrypted session between a device in an enterprise network and an external entity that is outside the enterprise network. In some implementations, the end-to-end encrypted session allows encrypted packets to be transmitted between the device and the external entity. In various implementations, the method includes determining whether the request satisfies an enterprise security criterion for establishing the end-to-end encryption session. In various implementations, the method includes in response to determining that the request satisfies the enterprise security criterion, triggering the establishment of the end-to-end encrypted session between the device in the enterprise network and the external entity that is outside the enterprise entity.
