    摘要: The disclosed technology provides systems and methods for dynamically locking and unlocking wireless communication devices by enforcing updateable subscriber identity module (SIM) and public land mobile network (PLMN) policy information. A device receives policy information from a policy server, compares the policy information against information in the SIM and dynamically updates a lock state of the device based on the policy information, potentially overriding a factory lock state of the device. The policy information can include a whitelist indicating the SIMs that the device can accept. The device can also obtain and apply branding information when the SIM information matches the received policy information, and block access to certain device functionality when the SIM information does not match the policy information.

    摘要: The disclosure herein describes the use of a policy server to enable management of activation of an adaptively branded device with a brand with which the device is compatible. A brand registration is received from a device registration entity including a device identifier of a device and a registered brand identifier of a brand. The device identifier and registered brand identifier are linked in a data store. A device activation request is received from the device including the device identifier and a SIM brand identifier of a SIM installed in the device. Based on the SIM brand identifier differing from the registered brand identifier, activation of the device with the brand is prevented. Based on the SIM brand identifier matching the registered brand identifier, the device is activated with the brand of the registered brand identifier, whereby the device is enabled to complete a branding process based on the brand.

    摘要: Wireless transmission regulation for a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is described. In an example, a sensor associated with a device, which is configured to operate in the frequency band, can scan at least a portion of the frequency band to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band. The device can determine, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, a presence of another device using the frequency band. The other device can be a priority user having priority access over the device. Based at least in part on determining the presence of the other device, the device can adjust a device radio frequency (RF) transmission power for transmitting communication(s) within the frequency band.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices can be used to perform service-aware utilization of shared wireless resources. In various instances, a quality metric (e.g., a Bit Error Rate (BER)) of a shared wireless resource is determined. Requested services can be provided based at least partly on the quality metric and the type of services being requested. For example, when the quality metric exceeds a threshold and the requested services are for Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive services (e.g., Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) services), the services can be provided at least partially via a licensed wireless resource. However, when the quality metric does not exceed the threshold, and/or the requested services are for non-QoS-sensitive services (e.g., non-GBR services), the services can be provided via the shared wireless resource.

    摘要: Example techniques described herein can permit interoperation between network terminals that have different performance characteristics, or that are connected via access networks having different performance characteristics. A calling terminal (or a core network device) can retrieve an indication of functional characteristics associated with a called terminal. The indication can be included in presence information associated with the called terminal. The calling terminal can determine a altered functional specification based at least in part on the functional characteristics and a functional specification of a session. The functional characteristics can satisfy the altered functional specification. The calling terminal can initiate a altered session with the called terminal via the network based at least in part on the altered functional specification. A terminal can detect network service provided by an access network and transmit presence information to a presence-information server. The presence information can indicate a type of the access network.

    摘要: Network scheduling in unlicensed spectrums is described. A scheduler can assess, at a first time, first conditions of an unlicensed spectrum, such as Long-Term Evolution unlicensed spectrum. Based at least partly on the first conditions, the scheduler can determine a schedule for transmitting data via the unlicensed spectrum. The scheduler can, for a first period of time, facilitate transmission of data between mobile devices that are communicatively coupled to the communication tower based at least partly on the schedule. At a second time after the first time, the scheduler can assess second conditions of the unlicensed spectrum and update the schedule based at least partly on the second conditions to generate an updated schedule. For a second period of time, the scheduler can facilitate transmission of data between the mobile devices based at least in part on the updated schedule.

    摘要: Systems and methods for improving network resource allocation are disclosed. The system can determine which user's equipment (UEs) can be reallocated from a first network (e.g., one of the 4G network or the 5G network) to a second network (e.g., the other of the 4G network or the 5G network) to reduce load on the first network. The system can determine which UEs are capable of using each type of network and which services or applications that are suitable for use on each type of network. Due to differences in propagation and penetration distances of various frequency spectrums, the system can also determine which UEs have sufficient signal strength for each type of network. The system can reside on the network, on the UEs, or on both the network and the UE. The system can switch back and forth between multiple networks as conditions, applications, or other factors change.

    摘要: Techniques for dynamically determining a Quality of Service (QoS) for wireless communications, and in particular, for 5G wireless communications, are discussed herein. For example, a user equipment (UE) can send a resource request to a base station associated with a radio access network (RAN). In some instances, the resource request can include identity information, such as an IMEI or an IMSI. The RAN can send a profile request to a user profile database, which can provide profile information to a policy control function (PCF) and/or the RAN. The profile information can be used to select a QoS for a communication associated with the UE based at least in part on the user profile information, a communication type, and/or a state of the network. The RAN can exchange data with the UE in accordance with the selected QoS to ensure various service levels associated with the communication.

    摘要: Wireless transmission regulation for a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is described. In an example, a sensor configured to operate in the frequency band can scan at least a portion of the frequency band to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band. A base station can receive the sensor data from the sensor, analyze the sensor data, and determine, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, that a device is occupying at least a portion of the frequency band. The base station can classify the device (e.g., as a priority user). The base station can receive a request to transmit a communication from a user device and can determine a first channel within the frequency band to transmit the communication based at least in part on the classification associated with the device.
