Abstract: A method includes determining a radio frequency (RF) fingerprint mapping to an indoor floor plan for an indoor area. The method includes clustering Wi-Fi access point devices deployed in the indoor area into groups of Wi-Fi access point devices based on RF fingerprint data received by at least one reference point device. The method includes selecting a Wi-Fi access point device from each group of Wi-Fi access point devices and determining a RF fingerprint based on the selected Wi-Fi access point devices. The method includes receiving a request for a location associated with a mobile device. The request includes a sampled RF fingerprint associated with the mobile device. The method also includes comparing the RF fingerprints based on the selected Wi-Fi access point devices with the sampled RF fingerprint associated with the mobile device to determine a location of the mobile device within the indoor area.

Abstract: A network device receives a request for a selected video from a first user at a client device, and determines similarities between a second user associated with the first user and other parents in a collaborative community, wherein the similarities are determined based on the second user's, and the other users', prior censoring of videos. The network device obtains all exclusions applied by the second user, and the other users, in the collaborative community to the selected video, wherein each of the exclusions comprises a portion of the selected video identified for censoring by one of the users in the collaborative community. The network device further selectively applies each of the determined exclusions to the selected video based on the determined similarities, and sends the selected video, with the selectively applied exclusions, to the requesting first user at the client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein represent an IoT device as an endpoint of private cloud. A virtualization service receives an IoT identifier for an IoT device and a network address for a virtual endpoint for the IoT device. The virtual endpoint for the IoT device is included in a host cloud platform. The virtualization service maps the IoT identifier to the network address in a distributed data structure for the service provider network and provides instructions, for an edge node for the service provider network, to provide network-layer access controls based on the mapping. The edge node for the service provider network receives an access request from the IoT device, applies a network-layer access control for the IoT device based on the instructions, receive IoT data from the IoT device when the edge node permits access by the IoT device, and forwards the IoT data to the virtual endpoint.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a global identification service is provided. The service includes a selection of an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address to an end device. The service encrypts a unique identifier of the end device with an encryption key to generate an IPv6 address. The service verifies whether the IPv6 address is an IPv6 address allocated to or owned by a service provider. When the IPv6 address is an allocated or owned IPv6 address, the IPv6 address is assigned to the end device. When the IPv6 address is not an allocated or owned IPv6 address, the service selects another encryption key until a suitable IPv6 address is generated. Subsequent to an assignment of the IPv6 address, a network uses the IPv6 address as a globally unique identifier for the end device.

Abstract: A network device logs transmission control protocol (TCP) flow data for connections between registered devices that are registered for use of secure Internet of Things (IoT) application programming interfaces (APIs). The logging generates logged flow data. The network device receives, from a first registered device, a call validation request for an IoT API call directed to the first registered device from a second registered device. The call validation request includes packet information of the IoT API call. The network device compares the packet information with the logged TCP flow data. When the comparing indicates a match of the packet information and the logged TCP flow data, the network device sends a response to the first registered device to accept the IoT API call. Otherwise, the network device sends a response to the first registered device to reject the IoT API call.

Abstract: A method for scalable and secure vehicle to everything communications may include receiving telematics data from a plurality of vehicles and tracking the vehicles within a window which is centered based on the telematics data. The position of the window may be determined based on positions of the vehicles. The method may include dividing the vehicles within the window into partitions having sizes based on a maximum number of vehicles within the partitions, and determining a metric representing a suitability of communications between the vehicles in the window.

Abstract: A device receives, via a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a manifest file associated with streaming content, wherein the manifest file includes a sequence of multiple Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) that identify network storage locations of multiple content segments of the streaming content, and wherein a sponsorship signature of multiple sponsorship signatures is appended to at least one of the multiple URIs of the manifest file. The device retrieves the multiple URIs, and the sponsorship signature, from the manifest file; sends the sponsorship signature to a charging node in the PLMN for controlling the charging of data delivery associated with the streaming content to one of a user of the media playing device or a sponsor of the streaming content based on the sponsorship signature; and engages, via the PLMN using the multiple URIs, in a content streaming session to receive the streaming content.

Abstract: A network device receives a definition for a data product of consumer Internet-of-Things (IoT) data and registers multiple machine-type communications (MTC)-devices for collection of consumer IoT data. The MTC devices provide the consumer IoT data with heterogeneous formats. The registering identifies a profile for each MTC device and particular data types authorized for collection. The network device receives consumer IoT data generated by the multiple MTC devices and extracts the particular data types from the IoT data. The network device normalizes the extracted data to include a uniform data format, and aggregates the normalized IOT data into clusters that exclude device identifiers. The network device constructs the clusters into a data portfolio that meets the definition for the data product.
