Abstract: Provided herein are techniques to facilitate slice assignment for a wireless device based on Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) parameters associated with the wireless device. In one instance, a method may include obtaining, by a provisioning server of a mobile network, a usage description object for a wireless device that has a session via an onboarding network slice of the mobile network in which the usage description object comprises usage parameters associated with the wireless device. The method may further include identifying, based on the usage parameters associated with the wireless device, a particular network slice that is to host the session for the wireless device and causing the session of the wireless device to be moved from the onboarding network slice to the particular network slice.

Abstract: Techniques for a network controller associated with a firewall service to determine a network policy based on operational tolerances associated with a device, and cause the network policy to be provisioned at the firewall service where control commands, such as, for example, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) commands, may be allowed or denied transmission to the device based on the operational tolerance(s) associated with the device. In some examples, the network controller may be configured as a manufacturer usage description (MUD) controller configured to transmit a MUD uniform resource identifier (URI), emitted by the device, to a MUD file server associated with the manufacturer of the device. The MUD file may be enhanced to include the operational tolerances associated with the device and transmitted back to the MUD controller where it may be parsed to determine a corresponding network policy.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to allocate use of controlled wireless spectrum. A method includes receiving, from a wireless local area network service provider, a request for wireless local area network spectrum for a future time window, wherein the wireless local area network spectrum is subject to automated frequency coordination, in response to the request, sending, to an incumbent that uses the wireless local area network spectrum, a query consistent with the request for the wireless local area network spectrum for the future time window, receiving, from the incumbent, in response to the query, a grant to use the wireless local area network spectrum for the future time window, and in response to receiving the grant, sending permission to the wireless local area network service provider to use the wireless local area network spectrum for the future time window.

Abstract: Techniques herein facilitate dynamic configuration of a wireless local area network (WLAN) for large public venue (LPV) environments. In one example, a method may include providing an initial configuration for access points APs of a WLAN for an event at an LPV based on a profile for the event, a location of each AP for the venue, and anticipated demand at the APs; determining, for a particular time for the event, a distribution of wireless devices and channel support capabilities of the wireless devices different locations for the LPV; and providing an updated configuration for one or more APs at the one or more locations for the venue based on the distribution of the wireless devices and the channel support capabilities of the wireless devices determined for the particular time for the event at the LPV.

Abstract: Methods are provided to determine validity of a MAC address. The methods involve obtaining a media access control (MAC) address validity message that indicates a plurality of valid MAC addresses in the wireless network using a fully-exploded format or a probabilistic data structure and determining whether a MAC address is valid based on the MAC address validity message. Other methods involve obtaining a query regarding a validity of a media access control (MAC) address, determining whether the MAC address is a value included in a data set of expected values of a probabilistic data structure. The data set represents a list of MAC addresses. The other methods involve determining whether the MAC address is valid in the wireless network based on determining whether the MAC address is the value included in the data set and providing a response indicating whether the MAC address is valid.
